Vulcano Gelato, Sorrento

At Love the Pen, we’ve never hidden our bias: gelato, done properly, beats ice cream every time. It’s denser, more expressive, less about sugar rush and more about flavour, texture and restraint. When it’s good, it doesn’t need explaining. It just lands.

Create your own Festive Wreath at Heronswood House and Garden

Prepare for the festive season with Domenica Vavala, floral designer and artist, as she guides you through the making of a festive wreath using both dried and fresh locally sourced flora and foliage. Invite a friend and catch up while learning from a true artist. Domenica’s work draws on a love of floriculture, natural history, sustainability and the organic forms of Japanese and Korean floral design. You will leave with a beautiful, sustainable festive wreath, all ready for the season of joy.
