Newcastle Food Tour: Wickham & Carrington

Come wander the harbourside streets of Wickham and Carrington with me, two of the five villages that make up Newcastle's Throsby precinct, and see them through their food. This award-winning, four-hour walking tour covers about 2.5km at a relaxed pace, and it's all about the people behind every bite. You'll meet the makers, hear their stories, and discover places you've probably walked past a hundred times.

We start beside Newcastle's working harbour with two stops serving fresh local seafood, including a seafood plate paired with Indigenous flavours. Next, we step inside a hidden converted warehouse for locally roasted coffee and house-made gelato. Save room for dessert at a must-visit Japanese cheesecake and pancake café, then finish with a local winemaker or at Earp Distilling Co, Newcastle's family-owned craft distillery with roots dating back to 1883. Across five food stops, you'll enjoy generous serves of the dishes each venue is proud of, plus two drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).

All dietary requirements can be catered for.

You come for the food. You leave seeing Newcastle a little differently.
