Our Richmond coffee roastery is a short walk from the Birrarung, located in an old building that was one of the last tanneries to operate in this area. Guests will learn about the history of the building (including the darker parts), our environmental activities as a business, and the basics of coffee cupping, the standardised method of tasting coffee across the globe.

Accessibility: Our spaces are accessible, however the protocols around coffee cupping require moving around a waist high table with samples on it, making it difficult for people with mobility concerns. Riverfest welcomes everyone—we’re committed to making our events accessible and inclusive for people of all abilities. If you have accessibility needs and require support to attend, please email carolyn.tate@yarrariver.org.au
