A bit about me...
Hi! My name’s Raffaela (I was named after my paternal grandmother).
Some of you have met me on tour and others I have yet to meet in person.
I’ve always loved food but it wasn’t until my early 30’s that I realised I wanted a career in food (never too late to find your path!) I was lucky to get a job at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival back in 2014 and it was there that my eyes were opened to the world of careers in food.
Of all the possibilities, I fell in love with Food Tours. They combine everything I love and all the things I’m naturally good at; hosting, finding great food, educating, making new connections with people and promoting great businesses.
I grew up in Melbourne’s north and when I realised that nobody was promoting the area, I decided to start my own tours.
Eating in the north feels like you’re travelling the world & I love the unpretentiousness of places like Coburg. I think it’d be a shame to visit Melbourne & never venture off the bright & shiny tourist trail.
Or at least if you do take the tourist route, try to find those hidden gems, whether it’s an amazing tour guide, that makes your day, an unforgettable dish or those less obvious details that you’d miss on your own.
That’s what I genuinely love to do & I do it with passion! What’s yours? 🙂
