Overview
Reward yourself with an early morning sunrise adventure and rare, behind-the-scenes access to Perth’s buzzing food scene. This immersive 6-hour food discovery tour takes you behind the curtain of the city's food supply and into its most passionate independent kitchens. Perfect for food lovers who want to meet the makers, hear the stories, and taste the absolute best of Western Australia - with plenty of opportunities to shop directly along the way! This tour is specially curated and led by Anthony and Tracey - a chef and agricultural expert duo who bring a deep connection to the food industry, decades of culinary expertise, and a firsthand understanding of the land. 🍷 The Food From the very first look at produce at the bustling wholesale market this day is what food dreams are made of. Mid-morning brings a retro café breakfast where conversation flows easily, followed by jewel-like handmade chocolates shared with fellow food lovers. Meet one of Perth’s most-loved family running their busy butcher shop, then enjoy wine tasting accompanied by a Charcuterie Board at the next door boutique bottle shop bursting with local tipples. Unforgettable discoveries at every turn. 🧑🌾 The People The real magic is in the people you’ll meet. Hear the market CEO proudly share the inside story of Perth’s buzzing trading floor and chat to knowledgeable wholesalers, meet a young chef who is redefining brekky in Perth, and be dazzled by a young chocolatier making jewel-like treats. Learn from the warm guidance of a sommelier as he shares his expertly curated local range of drinks. Finally, meet the third generation butcher leading their family business on to a new era – we’ll be welcomed like familiar friends! 🚌 The Place The early morning start is rewarded with rare access to Perth’s wholesale produce market, offering a fascinating glimpse into the network of growers, wholesalers and food businesses that help feed our city each day. From there, the tour weaves its way through a wonderfully diverse collection of food businesses, each reflecting a different thread in Perth’s rich food story. By morning’s end, you’ll leave with a sense of gratitude for the extraordinary food experiences we have right at our fingertips.

Itinerary
Canning Vale Wholesale Markets
Enjoy an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience on the wholesale market floor, where you’ll meet the traders who keep Perth’s food supply moving. See what’s truly in season, learn how produce is bought and sold, and taste exceptionally fresh fruit and vegetables along the way. Led by us, alongside key members of the market management team, this eye-opening visit offers rare insight into a facility not open to the general public - and reveals the essential link between WA farmers and the businesses that feed our city. Coffee/tea included as we walk, talk and taste!
Hidden Retro Café (East Fremantle)
Breakfast is a treat at this tucked-away retro café, a firm favourite with locals in the know. Expect great coffee or tea, freshly pressed juice and a breakfast that focuses on quality over quantity - beautifully considered portions designed to energise rather than overwhelm. One popular choice is a Danish-inspired combination that’s fast becoming a standout. The young team is led by a chef who isn’t afraid to challenge Perth’s often over-loaded breakfast norm, creating lighter, ingredient-driven dishes that set the pace for the day rather than slowing it down.
Boutique Chocolatier (George Street, East Fremantle)
Discover Perth’s newest chocolate shop, tucked into a very pretty Fremantle neighbourhood street. You’ll sample an array of glossy, jewel-toned bonbons beautifully made by hand on site. As well as tasting (with a glass of WA bubbles to sip on if liked), you’ll hear how the business began and follow its journey so far, meeting the owner and her chocolatier. You’ll likely be watched over by the owner’s very soft furry friend, who keeps a quiet eye on proceedings from the top of the stairs. With more than 40 years in the food industry, these chocolates are among the finest we’ve tasted, celebrated for their exquisite texture and clever use of instantly recognisable flavours in creative combinations. Shopping here is encouraged!
Premier Local Fishmonger & Eatery (Petra Street, Bicton)
This is local fishmongering at its very best — with the added bonus of a much-loved neighbourhood eatery attached. Deeply knowledgeable and working directly with local fishers, the team supplies some of Perth’s most respected restaurants as well as home cooks across the city. Their focus is on ethically caught, top-quality seafood, handled with skill and integrity from ocean to counter. You’ll feast your eyes (and your appetite) on a freshly made sushi platter prepared by the in-house sushi chef, while learning firsthand from some of the most trusted operators in the trade. Buy some fish to take home if you like.
Independent Boutique Bottle Shop (Petra Street, East Fremantle)
This independent bottle shop is a true treasure trove for wine lovers. Independently owned, it proudly champions local WA wine, beer, and spirits alongside artisan condiments. Hear what’s new and exciting in the local drinks scene from a knowledgeable sommelier and expand your palate with a curated tasting of small-batch WA wine, beautifully paired with a premium, Perth-made Charcuterie Board. There will be plenty of time to procure a bottle or two of your favourites to take home.
End Point
