Mille Grazie for helping to rebuild Abruzzo

Thank you to all of you who joined us (or are joining us) for a walk in 2009. As promised, for each of our Italian guests we donated to the British Red Cross Abruzzo Earthquake Appeal. You helped us to raise €2000. The rebuilding process continues - we have a couple of friends involved in this work and they pass on their thanks to you all.

Lazy Lunch - A Taste of Piedmont

Don't miss our Taste of Piedmont lunch on 20th February at the beautiful Buckland Cafe near Bright. Five delicious courses matched to premium Piedmontese wines. Delightful company and stunning views. Join us for a guided walk and picnic lunch on the Sunday. Our AccommodationPartners are offering great packages for the weekend

Hedonistic minus the Hiking in Sicily

Are you looking for an authentic experience in Sicily? We have brought together two of our partners: Carmellina of SicilianAdventures and George and Patrizia Simone of the eponymous award-winning ristorante in our home town in Australia. Pooling their culinary and local expertise they have created a fabulous 15-day tour, led by Patrizia. Contact Simones for more information.

Self Guided Walking in NSW

Many of you have walked the Great Ocean Walk with us. Did you know there is an equivalent great walk just north of Sydney. Three Hedonistic Hikers have completed it and written an invaluable and entertaining walking companion. From day walks to longer expeditions it is the perfect way to get in shape for your next Hedonistic Hiking experience!

Finally we raise a glass to those dear friends and loved ones who are sadly no longer with us. Let us toast them with Barolo from Piedmont, Tuscan Chianti and the many stunning Italian varietals we can enjoy here in Australia. Salute!

Tanti Auguri di Buon Natale

We wish you all a healthy and peaceful Christmas and look forward to seeing you in 2010
