MELBOURNE FOOD TOUR with Angela Palermo

Friday, 24-26 October 2025

SOLD OUT

I’m so excited to announce that I will be hosting a Melbourne Food Tour this coming October 2025! I have been dreaming of this Food Tour to Melbourne for many years, (I actually had one ready in early 2020, but COVID had other plans!). Well I’m back baby and have a great three days planned! It will be a cosy intimate group of 6 plus me! I will be your host, your guide, your cookery instructor (well for one class together), and your all-round good person! Ha! Melbourne is the next best thing to Italy in Australia for me and I’m so excited to share it with you!!

Let me share just a few things to expect on this Food Tour in Melbourne:
• Accommodation is booked in a brilliant designed home with desirable kitchen around the corner from South Melbourne Markets (see pics)! There are two room package options available- 2x one person private rooms and 2x shared rooms so gather your partner and/or friends. More details on these options and pricing to come.
• I will conduct a MARKET-TO-TABLE cooking class from our wonderful kitchen on our first day. We will walk just around the corner to South Melbourne Markets to purchase our produce then return to cook & bake together for our first evening dinner!
• I have another class planned for Day 2! This time with Paola Bacchia from 
@italyonmymind. We will make our way to Paola’s home for an afternoon baking of Apple Strudel! Oh what joy this will be!

I have lots more planned so if you would like to receive the full 3 day Itinerary plus accommodation details as well as package prices, please email me here at angela@thevillagecooks.com.au.

I look forward to sharing my Little Italy (Melbourne) with you!!!!
