What to expect
Expect a leisurely three-hour ramble through Melbourne's network of arcades and narrow laneways, stopping roughly every 20 minutes at carefully selected chocolatiers and patisseries. At each venue, you'll taste small samples whilst your guide explains the maker's background, ingredient sourcing, and production methods. Two of the stops involve fuller dessert servings rather than bites. The walk covers moderate distance on flat terrain, weaving between the CBD's famous thoroughfares. Weather won't stop the tour—come prepared with appropriate clothing.
