A booking is not final or confirmed until you receive a confirmation from us by email. Early bookings are recommended because our group size and departure dates are limited.

We reserve the right to decline any booking for any reason permitted by law, including those described in other sections in this agreement.

Do not book your airfare and other travel tickets until notified by Isabelle Corneaux, or a designated officer of the Company. All deposits paid to WINE DETOURS and trip fees paid to WINE DETOURS LLC are non-refundable after you receive a notification to purchase your airfare.

5. Price.
The trip price is based in U.S. dollars for double occupancy and includes only those services specified in the daily itineraries, such as meals, accommodations, admission fees and guided activities.

Prices do not include any item not specifically listed above or in the itinerary. Items not included in the purchase price include airport fees and taxes, airfare and transportation to and from your destination point, any services and meals not listed in your itinerary, all personal expenses and leisure time expenses, passports or other travel related documents, travel insurance or travel protection, and gratuities.

Single rooms are subject to availability at the time of booking and require additional fees.

Tours are generally for the given number of days listed. No refunds will be given if a participant decides to shorten their tour for any reason.

6a. Cancelation by you and refunds.
To cancel your Booking or Trip Deposit, you must email us your complete booking details at .

Cancelation fees will be applied per person, based on the date we receive your written notification. Unless otherwise noted for specific departures, cancelation fees are based on the following schedule:

Days before departure date / Cancelation fee per participant

  • 120+ days / Deposit payment
  • 61 – 119 days / 50% of trip price*
  • 0 – 60 days / 100% of the trip price*

*Trip price is the listed trip price including single supplements. Departure date is the date the trip begins regardless of the date that you may depart from your location of origin.

We will refund the applicable balance to you using the original payment method for your Booking or Trip Deposit.
No refunds will be provided for any reason for unused portion of a trip once the trip begins, including if you leave a trip for any reason or have to be removed from a trip. The trip price is a package cost and refunds, and credits are not available for services not used.

There are no exceptions to this cancelation 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).

WINE DETOURS is not responsible for expenses incurred by Participants in preparing for a trip (eg. nonrefundable advance purchase air tickets, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements pre- or post-departure date. The term applies whether the tour is altered, modified, or cancelled by us or by you for any reason. Because the tour may be cancelled when a minimum number of Participants have not signed up, we recommend that you either purchase refundable air tickets or wait until we have confirmed with you approximately 3 months prior to the tour that we have a sufficient number of Participants.

Due to requirements that our tours have a minimum number of travelers, we do not allow changes in departure dates after we confirm your reservation. In addition, our outside suppliers, including hotels, often impose additional fees or penalties for changes and cancelations.

It is imperative that you contact Isabelle Corneaux at if you have any issues with the tour dates. We will work to assist you at our sole discretion in cases where changes may be made without resulting in additional fees to WINE DETOURS or other tour participants.

6b. Cancelations or changes by us.
WINE DETOURS reserves the right to refuse, block or cancel a Booking or Trip Deposit at any time, for any reason, at its sole discretion. WINE DETOURS reserves the right to cancel, alter, or modify a trip prior to departure for any reason, including insufficient Participant reservations. WINE DETOURS and its suppliers reserve the right to substitute hotels, restaurants, routes, or other services listed in the itinerary with comparable services when necessary.

If your tour is canceled for any foreseeable reason, you agree that a full refund of trip payments made to us will constitute full settlement of any claims you may have against WINE DETOURS or our suppliers, partners, or travel intermediaries.

In the rare event that WINE DETOURS is forced to cancel or reschedule a trip for any unforeseen circumstance beyond the reasonable control of WINE DETOURS, such as, but not limited to, acts of nature, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, pandemics, quarantines, international travel restrictions, national emergencies, etc., WINE DETOURS 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 Trip Credit, to be used on any WINE DETOURS traveling within 12 months of the issuance date. 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 $500 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 rescheduled travel date, there is a $500 per-person service fee. As WINE DETOURS commits to non-refundable, non-recoverable trip fees and payments well in advance of scheduled departure date, the service fee offsets unrecoverable costs to WINE DETOURS.

WINE DETOURS will use reasonable efforts to recover and refund booking balances to guests when possible. However, WINE DETOURS 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.

7. Trip credits.
WINE DETOURS may, at its sole discretion, offer Participants a Trip Credit that can only be redeemed through WINE DETOURS or before the Expiration Date. When you make your next Booking or Trip Deposit, WINE DETOURS will reduce the amount up to the current balance of your Trip Credit. If your Trip Credit balance is insufficient, WINE DETOURS will require payment to cover the difference. You are not required to apply the Trip Credit to your next booking and may elect to apply it to a later booking, subject to the Expiration Date.
If you apply a Trip Credit to a Booking or Trip Deposit for a future booking and cancel your Trip, your credit will NOT be reinstated for a future use. If WINE DETOURS cancels your Trip, the amount of the Trip Credit for the canceled booking will be reinstated for a future use.

Trip Credits:

  • are non-refundable and non-transferable;
  • are not cash, currency and not a stored value, gift card or store credit product;
  • cannot be redeemed for cash, check or credit, except where required by law; and
  • cannot be used or reissued past the Expiration Date. You may not purchase or sell Trip Credits and WINE DETOURS does not sell Trip Credits. Trip Credits are the property of WINE DETOURS.

WINE DETOURS reserves its right to refuse, void, cancel, reject, or hold for review your Trip Credit, for any reason at its discretion.

If for any reason you believe that there is a discrepancy regarding your Trip Credit, please contact us. WINE DETOURS may require you to submit additional information in order to make a determination regarding your Trip Credit.

By accepting a Trip Credit, you are agreeing that the Trip Credit is in lieu of any refund you might be entitled to receive in connection with canceling the Booking or Trip Deposit. You release WINE DETOURS from any and all claims and liabilities, without limitation, relating to the Booking or Trip Deposit, and/or any refund or compensation you might be entitled to in relation to canceling the Booking or Trip Deposit.

8. Health requirements and Medical care.
Please note, our trips are physically active, with varying levels of demands and fitness requirements. By making a booking, you represent that you do not have any physical or other conditions that would create a hazard for you or other Participants or affect other people’s enjoyment of the trip.

If you have a physical condition, dietary restrictions, or other conditions that will require special attention during the tour, you must inform us in the Additional Information section when making a booking. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to accept, decline, or remove anyone from a trip (at departure or during the trip) who we judge to be incapable of meeting the trip’s physical demands.

9. Medical certification.
I certify that I have appropriate and adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating in the Tour, and I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage. I further certify that I have no medical or physical conditions that could interfere with my safety in the Tour, and that I am willing to assume the risks of and bear the costs that may result, directly or indirectly, from any medical condition.

10. Complaint procedure.
If you have a complaint during your trip, you must promptly notify WINE DETOURS or your trip leader/host of the problem so that they can attempt to remedy the situation and allow you to enjoy the remainder of your trip. While we strive to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable trip, your notice to WINE DETOURS or its suppliers of a complaint does not mean that we will accept liability or responsibility, and we will evaluate each complaint as it arises. At the same time, failure to raise a concern or complaint while you are on the trip will extinguish or reduce any ability to claim recourse from WINE DETOURS or its suppliers. Further, if you attempt to address the problem on your own without using this notice procedure, you assume responsibility for any added costs you may incur and forfeit any potential remedy.

If you are not satisfied after using this notice procedure, you must submit your complaint in writing to WINE DETOURS or its in-country supplier within fourteen (14) days of the trip’s end date. However, WINE DETOURS and its suppliers will not accept any liability for claims received after the fourteen-day period.

11. Trip Safety and Trip Etiquette.
You must strictly comply with all local laws, respect local customs and culture, accurately assess your abilities, respect other trip members’ privacy, and follow the suggestions and advice of any assigned guide.
