NELSON EXHIBITORS

Nevis Street, Petone in Wellington. We sell and serve the best Italian products in a true Italian atmosphere. From the moment you walk through the door you will feel like you are in Italy! We are also available for Demonstration Dinners and Hands on Cooking Classes.

At House of Travel we're travellers too. Our team have explored and fallen in love with Italy's legendary charms many, many times. We'd rather you didn't waste hours trawling the internet to end up in a villa with no plumbing and a train howling past at midnight. Instead, we have a tried and tested collection of stunning villas, apartments and character hotels from Venice to Sicily, the Cinque Terre to the medieval towns and rolling countryside of Tuscany & Umbria, not to mention the Eternal City of Rome itself. Your first step to a great Italian holiday should be with a House of Travel consultant for a free travel planning session. See you at the Festival.

Neudorf is one of Nelson's finest vineyards, with Australia's Good Wine naming Neudorf as New Zealand's best Piniot Gris producer. At the Festival, try the Neudorf Maggies' Block Pinot Gris 2010 - "one of the finest dry pinot gris ever made in NZ." Five Stars. Michael Cooper, NZ Listener, July 2011. This wine was grown on the Waimea Plains, with the low cropping vines being harvested by hand.

Enjoy both original Italian lager, and locally brewed Italian-style lager at the Festival.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro is an intensely crisp and refreshing lager with an unmistakable touch of Italian style brewed in Italy to the original recipe conceived in 1963. Crisp and lightly sparkling, its unique taste is dry with a clear-cut, clean character.
Be the first to try La Bionde - a special lager brewed for the New Zealand Italian Festival by Stoke’s McCashin’s Brewery. A distinctly Italian-style lager with a light golden yellow, with cereal and a little biscuit, with a slight hint of nuts; backed up with light hop aromas.
