Melbourne, Yarra & Mornington
Craft beer in industrial Brunswick, pinot noir in the Yarra, gin on the Mornington — Melbourne's drinks scene rewards the curious traveller more than any other city.
Convict-era pubs, working-class brewing precincts, and the Hunter Valley a comfortable bus-ride away. Sydney is our flagship region and where it all started.
Sydney is where the company started. Eighteen years ago we ran a single pub tour through The Rocks because the official ones missed all the good stuff — the trapdoors, the press gangs, the publican who hid Henry Lawson behind the bar.
Today our Sydney crew runs eight different tours: convict-era pub crawls in The Rocks, Inner West craft brewery walks through Marrickville and Camperdown, and Hunter Valley day-trips that get you home by dinner. The Hunter day in particular is the most-booked tour in our entire network — three wineries, a long lunch at Margan, and you’re back in Sydney by 7:30pm.
The Rocks Pub Tour. Four pubs, four pours, two hundred years of harbour-front history. The sandstone cellars at Hero of Waterloo alone are worth the ticket.
Sydney Walking Brewery Tour. Three Inner West breweries, twelve tasting pours, and a chance to see Sydney’s surprisingly serious craft beer scene one stop from Central.
Taste of the Hunter from Sydney. A full day, three wineries, a paired lunch at Margan, and you’re back in Sydney by dinner. Pickup from the CBD at 7:30am.
A lot of our Canberra guests fly into Sydney first. If you’ve got two free days at the start or end of your trip, our Sydney crew can pick up where ours leaves off — same booking system, same private-tour pricing logic, same small-group format.
A lot of guests pair Canberra with Sydney or the Hunter. We co-ordinate the booking across the network.
Craft beer in industrial Brunswick, pinot noir in the Yarra, gin on the Mornington — Melbourne's drinks scene rewards the curious traveller more than any other city.
More distilleries per square kilometre than any city on earth — and a food and beer scene to match. Tasmania is the under-rated drinks destination of the country.
Two-hour drive from Sydney, three centuries of wine history, and the country's only world-class semillon. The Hunter is where Australian wine started.
Most public tours sell out 2 to 3 weeks ahead in summer and over Floriade. Lock yours in — or get a quote for a private charter built around your group.
