Take the girls on a food and drink tasting experience in Sydney

Over three hours, you’ll all dive into Sydney’s food and coffee scene, discovering the city’s best producers and learning the art of coffee making. Caffeine fans will learn how to grind coffee beans to perfection, and how the beans are sourced, roasted and blended to create a cup that tickles the taste buds. 

From there, everyone will visit a local cafe, before finishing off at the most unique pub in Sydney, with a talking cockatoo! Get the gang together and explore the best that Sydney has to offer for Aussie food and coffee aficionados.

Get the group together for a Melbourne jewellery making course

Over the course of this jewellery making class, your group will learn the art of working with silver safely, coming away with a set of distinctive rings that can either be stacked on one finger or worn across several.
