What to expect
There is only one way to begin a Queen Victoria Market experience – and that is at an award-winning delicatessen offering exclusive Australian cheese & charcuterie. As you immerse yourself in the morning hum of the market waking up, you’ll meet the heart and soul of this foodie haven – the local vendors – whose stories and infectious enthusiasm for food will warm your heart and excite your palate. You’ll savour the unique tastes of Australia, from the zing of bush tucker to the modern flavours of fusion foods. As we guide you through an intricate maze of colourful, bustling booths, you’ll get your creative fix by recreating a recipe from an original Masterchef TV judge and witness a mini science experiment that’ll forever change the way you shop for honey. This is not just a tour; it’s a journey filled with laughter, surprise, and the cozy feeling of being part of something truly Melbourne (coffee and all!)
