Mouthwatering Morsels of Melbourne: A 5-Day Australia Food Odyssey

Overview

You’ve had two days to taste the best bites of Melbourne — and now it’s time to put those flavors to the test. Today, you’ll celebrate Melbourne's multicultural communities through a fun and flavorful cooking class inspired by local chefs and their travel experiences. After this immersive experience — during which you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch of your own making — the afternoon is open, so you can further experience the heart and soul of Melbourne. This afternoon, you'll have no shortage of options, whether you want to shop or sightsee. For the latter, you’ll find one of the most tranquil landmarks in the Royal Botanic Gardens: an oasis south of the Yarra River. If you're interested in history and culture, you can also visit the National Gallery of Victoria. Keeping in theme with Melbourne's culinary prowess, you can also use this time to visit the Queen Victoria Market, which brims with food stalls and local delights. Once you peruse the stalls — and pick up a few delectable bites — dive into the city’s artistic culture by visiting a multitude of creative neighborhoods. Should you have more time this afternoon, you can venture to South Yarra, Prahran, or the upscale enclave of Toorak, where designer boutiques and chic shops await. Alternatively, escape the city for the sandy shores of St. Kilda or Port Melbourne, whose beaches offer the perfect backdrop for relaxation. No matter what you do, you’re guaranteed a great adventure — with, of course, equally great food. (Breakfast, Lunch)
