When the sun goes down on Bridge Road in Richmond at 6.30pm on Wednesday 2 May and Thursday 3 May, journeys of food discovery will be in full swing with 6 specialised guided food and drink tours.

Following on from its huge success in 2017, Richmond’s Bridge Road will once again host Bridge Road gathering – after dark, an event designed to highlight the scene along one of Melbourne’s most vibrant and eclectic food strips. 

It is hard to find a pocket of metropolitan Melbourne with the cultural diversity and rich food experiences that Richmond’s Bridge Road offers. A wide range of food, wine and beer establishments will host 6 specialised gourmet tours, each guided by its very own experienced guide who will keep guests on track.  

Tours are divided into four distinctly different geographical precincts - river, Town Hall, Burnley and Richmond Hill. The 6 individual food adventures will take in 4 restaurants and bars within walking distance of each other.  

You will relish the food festival atmosphere as you roam from venue to venue revisiting old favourites, discovering newcomers and unearthing little-known secrets. You will take part in tutored tastings, masterclasses, demonstrations, soak in the stories behind the scenes and be transported around the culinary globe. Bridge Road gathering - after dark is guaranteed to excite the senses and lift the spirits.

Two tours will take place over two fun filled nights of food and drink crawling. The first adventure will start at 6.30pm and the second will start at 7.30pm for approximately 3 hours each.

Bookings are essential as numbers are limited. Tickets range from $60 to $70 depending on the tour. Funds raised are not-for-profit.
