Napier Quarter
Morning | Noon | Night
Your curated itinerary starts out with the force that keeps Melbourne ticking… coffee.
Next perhaps it is a private tour of a local food market ending with lunch.
If a Masterclass takes your fancy you are in luck, one of the city’s finest distilleries will educate you on all things booze.
Whether it be a cooking class, a gin workshop, a painting session in a local park or learning the art of just being still…. it is all possible today.
A laneway stroll may be in order to work up an appetite as dinner calls… but not before an aperitif… what will it be - a cheeky gin? A flute of Champagne? A local lager?
Dinner will be in true Melbourne style. Maybe a hidden laneway favourite or a suburban gem helmed by a chef of note.
Do the night right and enjoy a final stop to celebrate your day… thinking a comfy sofa with a glass of something revitalising…
( Right about now though you may be wishing you had taken the NAP option…. just saying)

A morning spent on a laneway tour learning all things Melbourne.
While away a few hours in a gallery… time is your friend. Be guided to a few of the more off the beaten path art secrets.
Lunch may well be a bowl of pasta at one of the city’s finest; a glass of red or two… a sharp espresso will see you on your way.
If you yearn for some retail therapy, I will arm you with the people you need to go see. New suit? Handmade shoes just for you? No problem. If you become overloaded with the spoils of your shopping efforts your hotel is within easy reach to return, unload and refresh ready to go again.
An afternoon power nap may be in order but be sure to set the alarm as a cocktail awaits followed by an evening dining at one of the city’s hottest restaurants. Ahhh… relaxing yet?
Bring your appetite, Melbourne is after all a city for food lovers.
Time for a night cap- absolutely necessary… perhaps al fresco on a roof top terrace……. sleep will eventually call…

It begins when you check in to one of the city’s chicest hotels…
Take a gentle stroll through the local gardens to your first stop for the day- brunch.
Art abounds in this city so maybe we will arrange a private visit to some of Melbourne’s off the radar galleries. If design is more your thing, my local insider also has the perfect little black book of appointment only fabric houses…. or maybe secret perfumeries await. It’s all about the senses and feeling good.
Next stop is to meet a wine maker who will guide you through their wines all made with minimal intervention - for lovers of esoteric over beige…
Returning to the sanctuary of your hotel to refresh and frock up… it’s time for cocktails and dinner.
Fancy a dance? Wrap up the evening with some live jazz and a cheeky digestif or two…. treat yourself… you are on holiday after all. Even if just for a day.
What a day - your big comfy bed calls and besides, you will need to rest to get ready for brunch !!!
Soon it will be time to indulge again!
