4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

Soak in the world of whisky and cultural delicacy – Melbourne

This is the recipe for a night to remember. Perfect for groups or as a date idea, this experience puts a spin on your usual pre-drinks with Japanese whisky tasting at an intimate bar. From there, you’ll find a four-course menu at an izakaya venue just around the block. Serving up shareable plates, each round is better than the last, with delicious bites like baked Hokkaido scallop, chicken yakitori and akamiso duck. We promise, you’ll be left dreaming – and talking – about this food-coma for years to come.

Enjoy a peaceful river paddle followed by a boozy spread – Brisbane

Feeding both body and soul, this experience is one your future kids will hear about. Kicking off with a 90-minute kayak tour of the Brisbane River, you’ll fit in a solid yap as you paddle around, getting a whole new perspective of South Bank. Once you’re done working up an appetite, your reward is a well-earned feed just around the corner. Picking from hand-stretched, gourmet pizzas or a classic burger and fries, you’ll have all you need to recover post-paddle with a tasting flight of four beers (or gin) to top it off.

Awaken your spirit with art and a hearty feed – Brisbane

Overdue for a catch up with your bestie? Then this experience is a must. Warming up with a clay and sip class, you’ll bring your new favourite mug or bowl to life, sipping on drinks as you go. Then it’s over to European brasserie for a two-course specialty menu. Hitting the spot, you’ll obsess over dishes like the burrata with mushrooms, oxtail ragu pasta and chicken chasseur. Between the food and the class, you’ll have one a sentimental piece to take home and a wholesome memory to play on repeat.

Battle it out with trivia then finish with a feast – Perth

Matching your energy, this experience has fun and quirky all over it. Not your average trivia night, you’ll love the theatrics of this game–show–style quiz room almost as much as the friendly competition. After putting your knowledge to the test, you’ll shuffle on over to a nearby bar for a curated set menu. Keep the banter coming as you graze on focaccia, dips and a variety of delicious, shared plates. A solid group activity, these moments – and dishes – will continue to live rent-free in your mind.
