Melbourne experiences
Local experiences we know you will love.
Private and hosted ways into Melbourne and Victoria, grouped so you can find the right shape of day. The concierge team tailors from here.
First time here
If Game Week is your first visit, start here.
Day one, we would keep it simple with some city orientation so the group knows how Melbourne fits together.
Then a day on the Mornington Peninsula, the local favourite. A cool-climate coastal wine region with wildlife, good walks and elegant vineyard restaurants an hour from town.
After that it is hard to go past the Great Ocean Road, especially with a helicopter leg back so the drive fits inside a day.
