About Flavourhood Tours
Flavourhood Tours was started in 2016 by Raffaela (owner and our Chief Eating Officer) who had been taking her friends on unofficial tours of Sydney Road. They were so good they encouraged her to do more! Raffaela loves introducing people to the Flavourhood neighbourhoods, sharing the historical and cultural food stories with curious people.
Flavourhood started off with one tour in one neighbourhood and since then have expanded around Melbourne. Now, eight years later they have a dedicated team of Melbourne foodie lovers and locals who can’t wait to meet you on your next tour!
