Why We Love This Unique Experience
Melbourne Experience Gifts: Explore Melbourne’s laneways and secret nooks on a three-hour guided walk through the city. Learn about Melbourne’s intriguing history and stop at three wine bars to sample some local vintages.
Your tour through the city begins when you meet your friendly and knowledgeable guide, who is passionate about sharing Melbourne’s fascinating history, and especially its connection with wine. On your walk you’ll pass famous Melbourne sights including the Parliament House of Victoria and the The Princess Theatre, where Dame Nellie Melba trod the boards and reputedly took champagne baths. You’ll also hear about Melbourne’s connection with winemaking including the modern invention of the goon bag which goes in wine boxes. Throughout the small group tour you’ll also make stops at three specially selected wine bars, including one of the oldest wine bars in Melbourne, to try a glass of red, white, or sparkling wine at each stop.
Served with a side of humour and a few tidbits of fascinating history, a wine focussed tour through Melbourne is a great activity to share with a pal, and makes a fun experience gift for birthdays or a girls’ night out.

Organized by
Drinking History Tours
We love walking tours. We especially love Melbourne walking tours. But a long itinerary of history, culture and monuments with no break can take its toll. Plus, some walking tours can get a little dry. If you catch our drift.
That’s why we created a walking tour that includes a few cheeky aperitifs along the way; just enough to ensure everyone has a great time, but not so much we don’t remember who founded Melbourne.
Drinking History Tours is a fun, unique and social way for Melbournians, new Melbournians, travellers and groups alike to undercover the secrets behind this magnificent city.
We combine the best of both worlds; the history, culture and insight of a walking tour, with the fun and socialisation – sans the hangover – of a bar tour.
What do we cover on our walking tours?
Sites: We’ll show you some of Melbourne’s most interesting, tucked away places. The sort of places you won’t see from a normal tour.
Bars: We’ll go to a couple of great, CBD laneway bars, plus we’ll show you a few more along the way.
History: It’s a walking tour, after all. From boozy founders to the bushrangers of the 21st century, we’ll cover the stories and people that make Melbourne so unique. You’ll learn about famous murders, exclusive clubs, feminist icons, Chinese gold miners plus much more.
We reckon Drinking History Tours is Melbourne’s best walking tour experience.
