Event Details
Haberfield is a glorious Italian village full of small family businesses with all the ingredients for a feast. We explore delicatessens full of olives, cheeses, small-goods, olive oil, aged vinegar, pasta and sauces; a bakery famous for crusty pane di casa bread and arancini; a fresh pasta maker; artisan cheese maker, some of the best Italian fruit and vegetables and a perfect handmade chocolate shop. We enjoy a generous lunch of homemade pasta, wood-fired pizza & salads including wine (of course!) and finish with a specialist liqueur shop. Magnifico!

Hello Suzie and Maeve
Just to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed the Haberfield Italian walking tour and all else that was on offer. Although we live close to Haberfield and do venture there occasionally the tour introduced us to a number of the venues that we would normally just pass without appreciating their history or really knowing and understanding the variety of food items/goods they have to offer.
The lunch and wines served were excellent and we were lucky enough to come home with a doggy bag that provided us with a lovely snack for the evening.
Sam our guide for the day is a great ambassador for everything Italian and of course Gourmet Safari. He clearly has a well established kinship with the area and the shop keepers/proprietors that we visited.
Thank you again Gourmet Safari for broadening our horizons. Best wishes, D and L

Dear Suzy, Maeve, Sam and Team,
I would like to thank you for this wonderful day we just spent in Italian Haberfield!
The food, the people the commentary everything was fabulous. We were 3 generations, Hungarian background at the tour, we learned so much about what we thought we knew, everything from the smell of our first coffee to the finishing limoncello was perfect.
The hospitality of the shop owners, Sam’s passion for history and fine foods, loyalty to farmers and small business, interesting facts about Italian cuisine made our day unforgettable.
This was not only the best – as Sam likes to hear but authentic and traditional.And we loved it all! – AK
