Join us for an unforgettable evening of history, flavour, and vibrant storytelling!
Uncover Melbourne’s fascinating underbelly on this National Trust-hosted walking tour through the city’s most intriguing heritage-listed sites. Begin your evening at Tasma Terrace with a glass of bubbles in its elegant, historic surrounds.
As you stroll through the city, delve into the tales of Melbourne’s darker side—of notorious crimes, infamous characters, and the hidden histories that shaped the city. Along the way, you’ll visit sites that were once the stage for criminal exploits and underground enterprises, all while enjoying stops that celebrate Melbourne’s rich food and drink culture.
The tour includes an exclusive tasting at Little Lon Distillery, where you’ll sample exceptional spirits and a whiskey straight from the barrel at our final destination —a rare experience reserved for this event. Your journey concludes at the Old Melbourne Gaol’s historic Watch House with a generous stand-up supper crafted by Scott Pickett Catering, inspired by Melbourne’s storied past.
The Old Melbourne Gaol will remain open post-tour, with a cash bar available to keep the evening going.

- A hosted walking tour visiting five iconic heritage sites with gripping stories of Melbourne’s criminal history.
- Exclusive tasting experiences at Little Lon Distillery, including a rare barrel-aged whiskey.
