Newcastle: Food and Street Art Walking Tour with Tastings｜Australia

Meet your local guide at the Newcastle Visitor Information Centre and set off on foot into Newcastle East, one of the city's most characterful corners. This is a small-group walking tour built around two of Newcastle's best loved things: great local food and bold street art.
As you wander at an easy pace, you'll stop at a handful of local venues to taste your way through the city, from craft beer to fresh local produce, while your guide shares how Newcastle's makers and producers are reshaping the food scene. Between bites, you'll discover laneway murals, public sculptures, and hidden creative details that most visitors stroll straight past.
More than a food tour and more than an art walk, this is a chance to understand Newcastle rather than just see it. You'll hear the real stories behind the artworks, the venues, and the people who helped transform a working harbour city into one of regional Australia's most exciting cultural destinations.
With small groups, a relaxed pace, and a guide who genuinely loves this city, it's an experience that feels personal, sociable, and authentically local. Ideal for food lovers, art fans, curious travellers, and anyone wanting to see the side of Newcastle the guidebooks miss.

What you'll eat:
Sample tastings include three locally made craft beers served as a tasting paddle, half an Italian gourmet panini, handmade dumplings, locally caught panko crumbed prawns, and Newcastle made ice cream. Stops may vary from time to time, but the quality and generosity never do.
