About this tour
Spend two hours threading Melbourne's back-street galleries and street art with a local guide, then settle into a heritage wine bar for three wine tastings paired with Portuguese-style small plates. David leads groups of no more than six through laneway stops, sharing the city's layered stories before you retreat indoors to sample old and new world bottles in dark wood comfort. A compact tour that reads the city's creative pulse and appetite in one afternoon.

What to expect
Your guide meets you in the laneways and walks you through six stops, stopping to examine street art while unpacking the city's cultural timeline. Expect narrow passages, cobblestones, and a mix of established and emerging artists' work. After 60 minutes of walking, you'll head indoors to the wine bar—think exposed brick, dark timber, and a blackboard groaning with bottle selections. Here you'll taste three wines (half pours) and nibble tapas designed to complement them. The pace is unhurried; you're tasting, not rushing.
Good to know
Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes for uneven laneways. Bring a jacket or umbrella—Melbourne weather shifts quickly. The tour isn't suitable for pregnant travellers. Public transport stops are nearby if you need them beforehand. Dietary needs are catered for in the tapas.
