Intrepid Italy is your inspirational guide to discovering the most engaging and fulfilling experiences from across the country – for locals, and new and repeat visitors alike.

Whether it's your first time exploring this vast country, or you're looking for new corners to discover, this guide is not simply a checklist of things to do, but instead offers insight into the tapestry of things that make Italy such a popular destination – its rich history, art and culture; diverse natural landscapes and regions; unmissable (and outside-the-box) food and wine experiences; and fun and vibrant festivals and events. Whether you're dipping into one of Italy's many historic cities or looking to deep-dive into regions and islands away from the throngs of tourists, this guide will provide all the inspiration, ideas and information you need to discover Italy in all of its facets.

This guidebook will help you gain greater insight and understanding of Italy's people, places and culture, to learn from locals who can help you discover the authentic, the eccentric, the rare and the astonishing. All done with an eye to sustainability, to celebrating the planet and protecting its unique environments, and making ethical choices that give back to the local makers and communities.

Lou, Ange and the WG team x

Founded by sisters Ange and Lou, Woodend General was born from a childhood love of playing shops and a shared dream of creating a store of their own in the heart of Woodend. After years working in retail, buying and visual merchandising, they brought that vision to life as a beautifully curated local store they had long wished
existed — a welcoming place to find a thoughtful gift and card, linger over a
gentle browse, and enjoy the quiet pleasure of discovering something truly special.

We now share that vision with customers all around Australia and New Zealand via our online store. We work hard to curate a unique collection of handpicked goods & gifts that will bring joy to your life. Our small team of local ladies personally pack all orders out of our Woodend Store and send them with love.

Thank you for being here and hopefully trusting us with your purchase.
