Alfisti is the collective noun for people who share a passion for all things Alfa Romeo. This passion often starts as a gentle appreciation of the marque, but typically develops into a deep, almost irrational, devotion. It transcends nationality, age, gender, language, politics and religion. Each year, the Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Australia invites Alfisti who are members of any Alfa Romeo Owners Club, from Australia or afar, to gather and celebrate all things Alfa Romeo. This gathering is known as Alfesta.

Alfesta 2026 will be hosted by the New South Wales division of AROCA from Thursday 30 April to Monday 4 May 2026. The location will be Peppers Manor House at Sutton Forest in the Southern Highlands.

Remember, to attend Alfesta you must be a member of an Alfa Romeo Owners Club, in Australia or overseas. Your Alfesta booking is made up of two components ...

ACCOMMODATION BOOKING

JULY 2025 UPDATE - An autumn Southern Highlands Alfesta is certainly popular! All rooms have already been booked at Manor House, but that doesn't mean Alfesta is booked out. Overflow accommodation is available at Peppers Craigieburn in Bowral. Craigieburn is just as gorgeous as Manor House, and the Alfesta bus will run between the venues each evening so you won't miss out on anything. There is also a wait list for Manor House rooms should there be any cancellations. Accommodation bookings at both venues are to be made by contacting Michelle at Manor House on the number shown on the accommodation options page.
