Detailed itinerary

1

Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience on the wholesale market floor, where you’ll meet the traders who keep Perth’s food supply moving. See what’s truly in season, learn how produce is bought and sold, and taste exceptionally fresh fruit and vegetables along the way. Led by us, alongside key members of the market management team, this eye-opening visit offers rare insight into a facility not open to the general public — and reveals the essential link between WA farmers and the businesses that feed our city. Coffee/tea included as we walk, talk and taste!

2

Breakfast is a treat at this tucked-away retro café, a firm favourite with locals in the know. Expect great coffee or tea, freshly pressed juice and a breakfast that focuses on quality over quantity - beautifully considered portions designed to energise rather than overwhelm. One popular choice is a Danish-inspired combination that’s fast becoming a standout. The young team is led by a chef who isn’t afraid to challenge Perth’s often over-loaded breakfast norm, creating lighter, ingredient-driven dishes that set the pace for the day rather than slowing it down.

3

Discover Perth’s newest chocolate shop, tucked into a very pretty Fremantle neighbourhood street. You’ll sample an array of glossy, jewel-toned bonbons beautifully made by hand on site. As well as tasting (with a glass of WA bubbles to sip on if liked), you’ll hear how the business began and follow its journey so far, meeting the owner and her chocolatier. You’ll likely be watched over by the owner’s very soft furry friend, who keeps a quiet eye on proceedings from the top of the stairs. With more than 40 years in the food industry, these chocolates are among the finest we’ve tasted, celebrated for their exquisite texture and clever use of instantly recognisable flavours in creative combinations. Shopping here is encouraged!

4

This is local fishmongering at its very best — with the added bonus of a much-loved neighbourhood eatery attached. Deeply knowledgeable and working directly with local fishers, the team supplies some of Perth’s most respected restaurants as well as home cooks across the city. Their focus is on ethically caught, top-quality seafood, handled with skill and integrity from ocean to counter. You’ll feast your eyes (and your appetite) on a freshly made sushi platter prepared by the in-house sushi chef, while learning firsthand from some of the most trusted operators in the trade. Buy some fish to take home if you like.

5

This bottle shop is often described as a true treasure trove — many guests have stumbled across elusive bottles they’ve been hunting for years. Independently owned, it champions local WA wine, beer and spirits, alongside a thoughtfully curated selection of artisan condiments and ingredients for keen at-home mixologists. You’ll hear what’s new and exciting in the WA drinks scene and finish with a tasting of a small-batch wine that’s likely to expand your drinking horizons. There's time to procure a bottle or two of what you like to take away with you.
