A great to finish our Melbourne stay
What a great way to spend our last night in Melbourne. We met up with Fiona for our progressive wine and food experience. Fiona was a delight as she gave us Melbourne history and pointed out sights as we walked to and from thee restaurants. The wines and food arranged were all superb and by the time we got to our last stop it was a little difficult to finish our offerings. We had plenty of time at each stop to enjoy the food and wine and had great conversation.
Response from the operator: What a wonderful way to spend your last night in Melbourne! We’re so glad you enjoyed the progressive wine and food experience with Fiona — she’s a delight and loves sharing Melbourne’s history along the way. Thanks for your lovely feedback, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the food, wines and great conversation at each stop. 🍷😊

What a delightful experience! Great food and wine!
What a delightful experience with Fiona! We had such a wonderful time with lots of laughter and exchange of stories! Fiona is a great story teller and she brings the history of Melbourne to live in a fun way! We got to know great restaurants hidden in little nooks and alleys, best of all, the pairing with the wine and food experience is fantastic! If you are a foodie, this is something you must sign up!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed our Food & Wine Walk with Fiona. Her storytelling brings Melbourne’s history to life, and it’s great to hear the hidden restaurants and delicious pairings were such a highlight. This experience is all about discovering the city through its flavours, and we’re so pleased it was memorable for you!

Learn about Melbourne and taste your way around the city
Absolute 5 star experience with Fiona our tour guide - I've lived in Melbourne my entire life and yet I learnt so much, about so many of the little details and the history about our beautiful city that Fiona pointed out as we walked from place to place. The restaurants we visited were welcoming, and delicious! So much food! Can 100% recommend this for anyone wanting to learn more about Melbourne, visit some of the best restaurants, whether you're a local or a visitor!
Response from the operator: Oh Hi MelliG.. we couldn’t have written this better ourselves. Thanks so much for joining us, and the photos you sent us were just fab too. It’s always a treat to share the city with savvy locals. We look forward to seeing you about the city again soon. Cheers from all of us including Fiona at Hiddensecretstours 👏

A 10 Star Evening!
If I could give this tour 10 Stars, I would! My friends and I scheduled this evening walking tour as a way to help us acclimate to Melbourne time after arriving from the USA early that morning. It was absolutely the perfect way to spend our first evening in Melbourne! Fiona Sweetman from Hidden Secrets Tours planned a wonderful evening at three restaurants with really excellent food and outstanding wine pairings. Ignore that old comment about not enough food, there was plenty. Fiona clearly has a solid rapport with the restauranteurs, as they were very happy to see us, and we had excellent service. The unexpected and delightful surprise was Fiona’s knowledge of Australian and Melbourne history. The entire evening was a really lovely introduction to Melbourne! Book this tour, you will not be disappointed.

Great evening in Melbourne!
Fantastic evening with great food and wine. Fiona was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She shared great facts about the beautiful city of Melbourne and took us to wonderful restaurants. A must do!
Response from the operator: Thank you @skigolf Fiona said she enjoyed your group and the tour is always a little different due to the group size and customers, but so pleased you got to enjoy the dining scene and the city with our progressive dining experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. From the team at Hidden Secrets Tours Melbourne..

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $288 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melbourne Food and Wine Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
