What is Geisha 2.0?

Japanese Geisha are artists in the field of entertainment and hospitality, trained in the arts of calligraphy, musical performance, dance, and tea ceremonies. Whilst not as common as in pre-war times, in modern Japan Geisha are still engaged for social gatherings and to create an environment of fun and hospitality.

Geisha 2.0 merges the Geisha concept with the rich culture of Melbourne, creating hospitable natural adventures for travellers and locals alike. In place of traditional artforms, Geisha 2.0 provides excellent hospitality and unveils the flavour of Melbourne – the culture, people, and diverse food, wine and coffee.

  • In town for a short time and want to sample as much as possible?
  • Lived here forever but don’t know where to go?
  • A regular on the dining and drinking scene in Melbourne and want to meet other interesting people?

A Geisha 2.0 experience can be created especially for you, or you can choose to come along on a pre-determined date and meet other adventurous people. Our Experiences page outlines some of the adventures on offer.

5 Hour Premium Evening Adventure

IMG_1248

A premium Geisha 2.0 experience starts at a pre-determined location (communicated to participants 24 hours beforehand), before naturally evolving over the evening – depending on the desires and dynamics of the group being entertained. Melbourne is discovered by foot, tram and taxi with a number of venues taken in, much like a progressive dinner, but without a formal structure or pre-determined locations.

A typical adventure lasts around 5 hours and includes four to six venues, with one or more drinks and a number of delicious shared dishes at each. Our select party size provides great opportunities for conversation with good company. A Geisha 2.0 adventure aims to provide a satisfied stomach, new tastes, and an unforgettable Melbourne experience.

This is the super indulgent, long night on the town and makes an awesome gift for that friend who has everything; or for those looking for the ultimate immersion in the Melbourne food scene.

This adventure runs on October the 11th between 6.30 and 11.30pm.

$250 ($100 deposit via the website and $150 cash on the night)

*Note this adventure has a maximum of five participants and requires a minimum of two to go ahead.
