While a trip to Italy is off the agenda, get your fix right here at home with these destinations that are short on travel and long on Italian vibes.

Nestled on 93 hectares in Victoria’s picturesque Yarra Valley, Zonzo Estate is a little touch of Italy right here at home. While away the afternoon over an authentic Italian family-style feast in the restaurant, enjoy the estate’s Prosecco Di Aria among the vines or simply wander through the vineyard and take in the view.

Redleaf Wollombi is a luxury Italian-style country estate that’s just a short drive from the Hunter Valley vineyards, yet feels miles away from the rest of the world. Set among manicured gardens on a 40-hectare property, the cosy private villa makes an ideal weekend escape for those seeking a little Tuscan magic.

Longview Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills township of Macclesfield is a little taste of Italy, but within easy reach. As the name suggests, panoramic views await from the four-star suites perched high above the vines: an ideal home base for exploring the region further, or a place to simply enjoy the peace and quiet for a few days. Longview is South Australia’s biggest grower of nebbiolo, but equally worth taking home are the Kühl Grüner Veltliner, Macclesfield Chardonnay or (our favourite) the Queenie Pinot Grigio, which takes its title from the nickname of the founding Saturno brothers’ nonna, Tarquinia.

Italian-style bistro Fico in Hobart is equal parts food lover’s must-do and Italian gourmet paradise. Chefs and owners Federica Andrisani and Oskar Rossi source all their produce locally and seasonally, pairing classic Italian dishes such as risotto and pasta with a touch of Australian flair.

The King Valley Prosecco Road is a vino lover’s paradise in Victoria’s King Valley, combining unspoilt Australian landscapes, fresh produce and prosecco, naturally. At the heart of the story is Dal Zotto family patriarch Otto, who is credited with planting the first prosecco in Australia. Whether you start with Brown Brothers’ private prosecco brunch, tastings and share plates at Sam Miranda King Valley or a visit to prosecco pioneers Dal Zotto Wines you can’t go wrong.
