Melbourne is renowned for its coffee culture, but with a plethora of independent establishments to try out, it can be hard to know where to start. Leave the planning to someone else and join this small-group tour to visit several off-the-beaten-path spots, each one loved by locals. Sample different types of coffee, listen to the crop-to-cup story, and leave knowing how to order a cup like an expert.

  • Cover more ground than you would on your own with a local leading the way

Visit at least four of Melbourne’s top coffee houses, cafés, or market stalls, enjoying a freshly brewed coffee at each stop. As you taste your way through the city, learn about the journey from crop to cup, explore how coffee is grown around the world, and discover what goes into crafting the perfect brew.

Your guide also shares insider insight into Melbourne’s coffee scene, helping you understand the wide range of styles, roasts, and drinks on offer so you can order with confidence throughout the rest of your stay.

The tour wraps up in central Melbourne around lunchtime, leaving you well-caffeinated and ready to continue exploring the city.
