Tour of Melbourne Market 2026

Explore the Heart of Fresh Produce and Florals at Melbourne Market in Epping.
Hosted by Melbourne's North Food Group in collaboration with Melbourne Market Authority.

Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Melbourne Market, one of Victoria’s most important fresh produce hubs and home to the National Flower Centre.

Opened in 2015 and operating from a purpose-built 67-hectare site in Epping, Melbourne Market plays a vital role in our food and flower supply chain. It connects local growers, wholesalers, and independent retailers, moving millions of dollars in fresh produce across Victoria and beyond every single day.

• 🍎 Explore the fresh produce trading floor – See the Market in action and take in the vibrant sights, sounds, and energy of this early-morning hub.

• 👩‍🌾 Meet local vendors – Chat with passionate traders and get up close with the wide variety of colourful fruits and vegetables on offer.

• 💼 Learn about the economic impact – Discover how the Market supports over 2,750 businesses and more than 2,000 individual buyers in the fresh food ecosystem.
