Your luxury travel experience begins from the moment you select your tour.
Give yourself peace of mind by purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance package to cover you for cancelations, baggage delays or loss, medical expenses and activities. You can do this through your preferred insurance provider.
It is important to stay well-informed about travel restrictions and guidelines for the countries you wish to visit. To help you stay up-to-date, visit the https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/ website. As travel guidelines tend to change quite frequently, it is best to check for the most current travel restrictions as you get closer to the departure of your tour.
Our tours are perfect for solo travellers. Our smaller group size is ideal for meeting like-minded travellers while your host tends to all the details and personalises your experience. Please note, there are limited places for solo travellers on our tours due to the configurations of some of the accommodation we stay in.
The prices on our website cover everything mentioned in the itineraries: all luxury accommodation, all tours, entry fees, and access costs; all transport; the expertise of a professional guide; all meals and fine dining as specified in the itinerary; and any luggage handling services form collection to drop-off.
When you book, specify any special dietary requirements so that your Host can notify hotels and restaurants in advance so that they can do their best to provide a suitable menu alternative. Please note that such requests cannot always be guaranteed.
If booking your own flights, make the airline aware of any special dietary requirements.
Connect with fellow guests who will be travelling with you before you travel by getting an invitation to our dedicated Whatsapp group. This platform is a great way to seek advice from your host and fellow travellers before you go, share your travel highlights, and stay in contact with friends after your tour.
Each guest is allowed one main bag with maximum dimensions of 77.5cm (30.5in) x 56cm (22in) x 32cm (12.5in) and a weight limit of 23kg (50 lbs). Additionally, a smaller hand luggage bag up to 30 x 28 x 14cm (12”x11”x6” ) is permitted, which must fit under your coach seat or in the overhead compartment. This hand luggage must not have wheels or a telescopic handle. If you need to bring an extra piece of luggage, please let us know when you book. Extra fees will be charged for this.
Ensure you know the dress code for the places you'll be visiting to pack appropriately for your tour. For places of worship, you'll need to cover your shoulders, so bring a wrap or shawl along.
Before your vacation, it's important to consult your doctor about any necessary vaccinations or health measures. Verify that your regular medications are allowed in the destinations you're visiting, and consider bringing a prescription note for them. Ideally, keep your medicines in your carry-on luggage.

Providing the answers to your questions about the Artemis Luxury Wine Tour. Before, during and after your tour.
Your host is there for you throughout your tour. Their role is to understand your tastes and preferences and to offer personalised touches to ensure your tour is as individual as you are.
Your Host is the ultimate travelling companion, helping you to build an understanding of new places.
All Artemis Luxury Wine Tours are small group tours, with an average of 12-14 guests. In such a small group, you'll receive more personal attention from your Host, and you'll benefit from access and experiences not available to larger groups.
You can arrange a private door-to-door transfer service as soon as you're ready to depart. Our travel partner can organise a transfer, where they will collect you from your home and take you to the airport. On arrival, a private transfer will transport you to your hotel. This is at an additional cost to you.
On a Artemis Luxury Wine Tours tour, we handle everything to do with your luggage.
When you arrive at your luxurious hotel, your suitcase will be taken directly to your room. And when you leave, the concierge will ring your room to transport your luggage down to our transport. There is no need to move your suitcase out of your room.
Free time is built into every Artemis Luxury Wine Tours tour, enabling you - with the assistance of your Host - to personalise your tour and discover a destination in the way you choose. You can go shopping, relax by the pool or immerse yourself in a cultural activity of your choice.
There is moderate walking as part of our experiences. We do incorporate walking tours and as some of the old town we visit are not accessible by cars, notably Siena, we park the vans and then walk. Siena in particular has elevators up the steep hills. We encourage walking where possible as this is the best way to see most places
Travelling solo with Artemis Luxury Wine Tours combines the peace of mind of guided travel with the exhilaration of independent discovery. All tours offer the option of travelling solo, staying in a room of your own. Please note that these are limited.
With Artemis Luxury Wine Tours, you'll travel aboard a specially configured coach with plentiful legroom. Despite travelling in an average group of size of just 14, we've opted to retain a full-size coach rather than downsizing. So, you'll have plenty of personal space to enjoy the journey.
We seldom travel longer than a couple of hours or so without a stop. Often your days won't involve the coach at all as we build in multiple days at leisure into your itinerary.
Artemis Luxury Wine Tours utilises a carefully curated range of hotels. We are extremely selective, choosing only the very best hotels offering exceptional levels of service.
From historic Villas to premium hotels, our properties are an experience in their own right. And with multiple night stays in many locations, you'll have the opportunity to take advantage of all they have to offer.
To access the true heart of any destination, look no further than its cuisine. At Artemis Luxury Wine Tours, we provide exceptional and varied dining experiences for our guests.
From Michelin starred restaurants, to rustic farm-to-table experiences and guided street-food adventures, every meal is memorable.
Unless otherwise stated, breakfast will be served at your hotel every morning. Lunch and dinner may not be included every day. This allows guests to explore the local food scene for themselves, your Hosts will always have a wealth of recommendations.
We encourage all guests to advise us about any specific dietary needs that they may have (vegetarian, diabetic, gluten free, etc.) and we will do our best to accommodate them.
We kindly request that you advise us of any dietary requirements when completing the 'About You' form. Please also discuss your needs with your Hosts at the start of your tour. Where possible, we will endeavour to make arrangements with our suppliers however requests cannot be guaranteed on every occasion.
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our business.
Coach and Luxury Van travel has been proven to reduce congestion and create less pollution per passenger kilometre than any other form of transport.

Your Host will assist you with a doctor's visit or hospitalisation should you require.
