Headwater specialises in walking and cycling holidays and amongst their varied programme are two that will appeal to foodys.
Sorrento, on Italy’s spectacular Amalfi Coast, is famed for its sweets, cakes, gateaux and pastries, with local specialities often linked to key events in the religious calendar. Visitors at Easter can sample the delicious casatiello and pastiera Easter cakes. Headwater’s self-guided Amalfi to Sorrento Easter walk departs 31 March and costs £1187 (tour only)/ £1369 (inc return BA flights Gatwick-Naples) including: eight nights’ hotel accommodation (3 and 4 star hotels), all breakfasts and three evening meals, local transfers, transport of bags between hotels, all maps and route notes and 24/7 local support.
Chianti: From 20 March until 20 June, Cantine Aperte (“Wine Days”) are held throughout Italy – with some of the largest taking place in Chianti – and include parades, music, street food stalls and, of course, some serious tasting! On 26 May (International Wine Day), wine estates everywhere throw open their cellar doors to the public. Headwater’s Chianti cycling and walking holidays depart every two days from 9 May to 14 October with prices from £1049 (tour only)/ £1349 (inc return BA flights Heathrow-Pisa) including: eight nights’ half board hotel accommodation; local transfers; all maps and route notes; transport of bags between hotels, and 24/7 local support.
