An Italian cooking class in Victoria

Victoria, Australia

Indulge in a hands-on culinary journey into the flavours and traditions of Italy with a private cooking school experience at Pizzini Wines in Australia.

Your day of foodie indulgence begins with a cellar door morning tea hosted by Katrina Pizzini.

Then it's on to the winery’s A Tavola! Cooking School for their secrets to preparing exceptional traditional Italian dishes.

From there, you’ll taste Italian wine varietals direct from the Pizzini barrels before heading to a delicious multi-course lunch with your choice of wine – anything from a fresh Prosecco to an aged Nebbiolo!

House of Travel Lower Hutt

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.

With nearly two decades at House of Travel, I’m always dreaming of the next adventure. The more I explore, the longer my bucket list grows! The thrill of planning a new journey and learning from each experience excites me.

Discussing travel daily is my passion, I love helping clients realize their travel dreams and living vicariously through their experiences.

Getting to know my clients and understanding what matters most to them is something I truly enjoy. This insight allows me to craft itineraries that are as unique and special as the travelers themselves.

There's nothing more satisfying than a client returning with tales of their adventures. I love hearing their stories, as each journey is different—there's no one-size-fits-all approach to travel.

For me, travel offers the opportunity to learn more about the world around us. With every journey, I find new perspectives, cultures, and places to love.

Travel isn’t just about the places we visit—it's about the growth we experience along the way.
