September might be the best kept secret in Victoria 🤫

The summer crowds have thinned out, the weather is still warm, and your team is back from holidays and actually in the same place at the same time again.

A private food tour can be as easy as a 1.5-hour lunch tour in the heart of downtown. Get some walking in to stir up those creative juices, enjoy some seriously good food, then be back at the desk by 2pm.

Or it can be the full evening version: an interactive dinner, multiple stops, multiple courses, and the kind of night your team is still talking about in December.

Every stop is an independent local restaurant with killer food, perhaps some drinks, and a fun tour guide to keep the conversation—and the fun—flowing.

We have September dates open now. Fill out our quick form and we’ll send you our tour menu and a quote. Easy peasy.

Flavour Trails turns 20 and it's happening August 15 + 16!

We had the pleasure of getting a sneak peek recently, and honestly, it was the best kind of afternoon: walking the fields, meeting the growers, and really understanding where our local food comes from. It's one thing to know your food is local. It's another to shake the hand of the person who grew it.

For two decades this festival has put farmers front and centre, and this year's lineup is a good one. A few events we've got our eye on:

🍫 Orchard and chocolate tasting at Violet Grove Farms
🐖 Sunday Pig Roast at The Fickle Fig
🌊 Dakini Tidal Wilds seaweed tasting at Sea Cider
🥒 Zucchini racing at Silver Rill Corn - competitive vegetable sports, and we are here for it
🌿 Native plant walk with an ethnobotanist at PKOLS

Supporting the small farms and producers behind our region's food is what we're all about, so we'll be cheering (and eating) our way through the weekend. Come find us out there!

🍴 EAT THIS STREET | Fort Street - PART 1📍

Welcome to the very first edition of Eat This Street — our new series where we spotlight one Victoria street at a time and show you exactly where to eat.

This week we're tackling just one block of Fort Street, from Douglas Street to Blanshard Street. It may be a short walk, but it's packed with incredible local eats.

🥐 Dutch Bakery – A Victoria institution - try the Parliament - a mocha cream topped with nougat and dark chocolate.

🍫 Chocolate + Co. – Beautiful handcrafted chocolates - try the iced drinking chocolate.

🥖 Crust Bakery – A city favourite for sweet & savoury delights - try the Farmer Ben's egg pastry!

🥟 Beijing Bistro – Authentic Northern Chinese cuisine - splurge and try the whole roasted duck.

🥖 Ba Le – Home to one of Victoria's favourite bánh mì sandwiches - try the grilled pork with lemongrass.

🍔 Burger Crush – Simple, juicy smash burgers - try the classic paired with a milkshake.

🍕 Good Ovening – Korean chicken done exceptionally well - try the volcano chicken for some heat in you life!

One city block. Seven amazing local businesses. That's what makes Victoria's food scene so much fun to explore.

👇 Which stop are you heading to first? And what street should we feature next?

✨ Happy Foodie Friday! ✨ A few snapshots from the Yam Restaurant Awards —what an incredible evening.

One thing I always tell guests on our food tours is that what makes Victoria's food scene so special isn't just the amazing food—it's the spirit of collaboration over competition. That sense of community was on full display at the awards, with chefs, restaurateurs, and industry professionals genuinely cheering each other on and celebrating each other's successes.

Congratulations to everyone who was part of the evening—winners, runners-up, fellow judges, supportive partners, restaurant teams, and everyone working behind the scenes. This industry takes an incredible amount of passion, creativity, resilience, and hard work, and it was wonderful to celebrate all of you.

I'm grateful to play a small role in showcasing Victoria's amazing culinary community. ❤️🍽️
