“Hidden Gems” Tours
• Love good food?
• Want to know what the latest or greatest is?
• Want to know how to cook and serve unfamiliar produce?
• Want to know where very special items are hiding?
Then you must come on our new “Hidden Gems” Tour!
Prahran Market is proud to launch new Tours around the Market. The tours are aimed at local customers to encourage them to know this fabulous Market better and all the culinary delights that often remain unnoticed.
Many of us are creatures of habit and we tend to look for the same types of food, at the same places when we shop. On this tour we promise you will see new things in the Market you weren’t even aware of. We will take you around other places and point out where to find it, what to do with it, get you to taste it and let you in on Market secrets along the way. At only $25 per person for 1-1.5 hours (depending on numbers) – why not get a group together for a “Hidden Gems” Tour.
Prahran Market is known as “the food lovers market” of Melbourne and has arguably the most passionate and knowledgeable Traders and finest produce. Let us take you around Prahran Market and show you all the exciting “Hidden Gems” of Prahran Market!
Fridays – run by Pauline Leonard
Saturdays – run by Jackie Middleton

“Dietary Education” Tours
If you or a family member have been newly diagnosed with a medical condition and need advice on what is best for you to eat/not eat, or you have an existing condition and need inspiration and advice on a more varied diet – Prahran Market has the answer!
In what we believe is an Australian first, Prahran Market, in conjunction with Dietician and cookery demonstrator Joanna Shinewell, have launched a personalised service of guided tours in front of the produce about foods that will help you with your specific health concerns. For example if you are a newly diagnosed diabetic, “if its not OK to drink orange juice – can I eat oranges?” “Is there a food that can help me bring my blood sugar level down naturally?”
Specific tours will be run with respect to:
* Managing diabetes * Living with cancer
* Kidney disease * Controlling cholesterol
* Heart disease * Boosting immune systems
* Pregnancy/breastfeeding * Other tours on request
Joanna will take tour participants around the market and give advice, address your questions and even give tips on how to cook unfamiliar produce. Tours in a group (max 8) can be taken in a group for $50 for 1 hour or Joanna is happy to arrange a personalised tour one on one for $75 dollars an hour. As Joanna is a registered health practitioner, participants with health insurance may be able to claim on this service. Call Prahran Market office to make a tour booking Tel: 8290 8220.
