Calling all wine lovers! Travel with Chefs Joe &Angela Cicala through northwestern Italy in autumn. Home to world class vineyards, truffles, castles, and some of the best views of the Italian Alps, this is an exquisite tour. Grab a glass and get cozy.

Spend 4 nights in the vine covered hills of Piemonte at Villa D'Amelia, then we move closer to the Alps for 4 nights in Val d’Aosta, at the majestic Bellevue Hotel & Spa. All rooms have a balcony with a view over an Alpine field or the snow covered Gran Paradiso in the distance. Taste cheese and wine fireside, or relax at the spa.

Excursions around the area include medieval castles, wineries, and local artisans’ workshops tucked away high in the mountain villages. Being so close to the French and Swiss borders, expect the local cuisine to blur the lines of France, Switzerland and Italy. Think polenta, rich cheeses, juniper and mountain herbs, warm raclette, prosciutto, and pastas with a foreign flare.

1. RESERVING YOUR TOUR/PAYMENTS A deposit of $1,000.00 per person is required to reserve your space.(Travelers may also pay in full at time of booking.)

All payments are due in US dollars. If your balance is not paid 60 days prior to the trip’s departure date, Antico reserves the right to cancel your trip and charge a fee.

2. HEALTH & CAPABILITIES The physical requirements of each tour may vary. We recommend you select a tour that is suitable to your capabilities. Our tours often require a considerable amount of walking and steps which may pose difficulties for travelers with impaired mobility. Americans with Disabilities Act does not apply abroad and service providers may not be able to accommodate special equipment that may be needed, therefore all travelers on Antico tours must be in good health. Any condition that may require assistance or special medical attention must be reported at the time of your reservation. As our tours are gastronomic, please alert us in advance to any food allergies.

The trip price is a package cost and refunds and credits are not available for services not used. There are no exceptions to this cancellation and refund policy, including for reasons related to weather, terrorism, civil strife, personal, family or medical emergencies or any other circumstances beyond our control. For this and other reasons, we encourage you to purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance and travel protection (i.e., travel medical insurance and emergency evacuation services).

Antico is not responsible for expenses incurred by participants in preparing for a trip (i.e. non refundable advance purchase air tickets, private transportation, etc.) or for any additional arrangements pre- or post-departure date. The term applies whether the tour is altered, modified, or canceled by us or by you for any reason.

Because the tour may be canceled when a minimum number of participants have not signed up, we recommend that you either purchase refundable air tickets or purchase trip cancellation insurance.

CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES MADE BY US Antico reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason, and in such an instance, we will refund all payments received, which will constitute full settlement of any claims you may have against Antico or our suppliers. Antico reserves the right to refuse, block or cancel a booking at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion. Antico reserves the right to cancel, alter, or modify a trip prior to departure for any reason, including insufficient participant reservations. Antico and its suppliers reserve the right to substitute hotels, restaurants, routes or other services listed in the itinerary with comparable services if necessary. In the rare event that Antico is forced to cancel or reschedule a trip for any unforeseen circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Antico, such as, but not limited to, acts of nature, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, pandemics, quarantines, international travel restrictions, national emergencies, etc., Antico will reschedule your trip departure, and your booking will automatically transfer to the rescheduled date.

If you are unable to travel on the rescheduled date, you may keep 100% of your booking value as a credit, to be used on any Antico trip in 2026. Otherwise, if you elect to cancel your booking, the following cancelation terms apply, based on your trip’s original travel date:

120 days or more from departure date: Receive a full refund, minus a $350 per-person service fee

61 to 119 days: Receive a 50% refund

60 days or less: There is a 100% cancelation fee.

When you cancel a booking for any reason, including electing not to travel on your trip’s reschedule travel date, there is a $350 per-person service fee. This is to offset unrecoverable costs to Antico including credit card fees, non-recoverable deposits, non-refundable permits and booking fees, local taxes and administration costs. Antico commits non-refundable, non-recoverable trip payments well in advance of scheduled departure dates. We will use reasonable efforts to recover and refund booking balances to guests when possible. However, Antico does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and the use of reasonable efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. For this and other reasons, we encourage you to purchase trip cancelation and interruption insurance.
