Taste & Temptation and Bishopscourt Garden: Double Tour

Spend a morning in East Melbourne and visit the exhibition at Fairhall and gardens of Bishopscourt.

Taste and Temptation
Food and drink in the 1700s was more than mere sustenance. A table could display wealth, style and luxury, be the setting for gossip and social intrigue, and reveal powerful political allegiances.

Experience The Johnston Collection transformed into a series of atmospheric tableaux. Period-appropriate sights, sounds and scents bring each room to life.

Bishopscourt Gardens
Bishopscourt is one of the oldest properties in East Melbourne, and the last intact urban estate within the City of Melbourne. Currently the official residence of the Archbishop of Melbourne, it has been the home of an Anglican Bishop, later Archbishop, of Melbourne since 1853. Established in 1848 by Bishop Perry and his wife, the garden has seen contributions from various residents and architects, including a design influence by Walter Butler in 1903.
