Canberra is famous for a few things: politicians, public servants, and the many roundabouts. Ask anyone what Canberra is about and they will usually name at least of one of those things. However, anyone who has been in Canberra long enough will also let you in on Canberra’s not so well-kept secret: we have many incredible dining and drinking establishments. During your Fancy Pants Expedition of Canberra, you will get to experience many of Canberra’s fanciest offerings.

Over the course our 5 day expedition, you will be wined and dined in some of Canberra’s finest venues. You will learn to critique art with the best of them, eat delicious multi course meals, enjoy the most unique of specialist bars and show off your absolute fanciest of pants whilst exploring what Canberra has to offer for those with more of a gourmet taste. As well as wining and dining yourself into a food coma, you will have the opportunity to take on a masterclass in a culinary field of the group’s choice.
