Todd Alexander's Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga: A not-so-perfect tree change

Join us as for an evening with Todd Alexander as he discusses his hilarious and heart-warming new book, Thirty Thousand Bottles of Wine and a Pig Called Helga: A not-so-perfect tree change.

About the Book

Once I was the poster boy for corporate success, but now I’m crashing through the bush in a storm in search of a missing pig. How the hell did we end up here?

Todd and Jeff have had enough of the city. Sick of the daily grind and workaday corporate shenanigans, they throw caution to the wind and buy 100 acres in the renowned Hunter Valley wine region, intent on living a golden bucolic life and building a fabulous B&B, where they can offer the joys of country life to heart-weary souls.

Todd will cook, Jeff will renovate. They have a vineyard, they can make wine. They have space, they can grow their own food. They have everything they need to make their dreams come true.

How hard can it be?

Praise

"This joyously honest account will make you laugh till it hurts, and you’ll shed more than a few tears while being captivated by Todd, Jeff and their menagerie of lovable animals." - Bradley Trevor Greive AM, international bestselling author of The Blue Day Book and Penguin Bloom.
