1. Local Delivery Service

WineHoliday provides local delivery of wine, beverages, WineHoliday Boxes, BBQ Boxes, food products and selected fresh local products directly to villas, holiday homes, accommodations, private houses and second homes located within selected service areas in Piemonte.

WineHoliday local deliveries are currently carried out directly by WineHoliday using our own vehicle.

Third-party parcel couriers are not normally used for WineHoliday local delivery.


2. Delivery Area

WineHoliday delivery is available only in selected towns and service locations across Langhe, Monferrato, the Asti area and other currently active WineHoliday delivery locations in Piemonte.

Customers must select an eligible delivery town during the ordering process.

Delivery availability and conditions depend on the selected town and may include different:

  • minimum order values;
  • delivery fees;
  • free-delivery thresholds;
  • delivery windows;
  • available delivery dates.

The exact conditions applicable to the selected location are shown in the cart before checkout.

WineHoliday may update its service area, delivery schedule and future availability according to operational requirements, route planning, seasonality and capacity.

Changes to future availability do not remove mandatory rights relating to an already confirmed order. If WineHoliday needs to make a material operational change affecting a confirmed order, we will contact the customer.


3. Delivery Conditions

WineHoliday delivery conditions vary according to the delivery location.

Current delivery conditions start from:

  • Minimum order from €69
  • Delivery fee from €7.90
  • Free delivery from €120

Locations farther from our delivery base may have a higher minimum order, delivery fee or free-delivery threshold.

The customer does not need to determine the delivery area manually.

After the customer selects the delivery town, the applicable conditions are displayed automatically in the cart.

The conditions displayed for the selected delivery town before checkout form part of the applicable delivery conditions for that order.


4. Delivery Details Required

Before checkout, customers must provide the WineHoliday Delivery Details requested during the ordering process, which may include:

  • delivery town;
  • villa, holiday home, accommodation or private home name;
  • full delivery address;
  • delivery date;
  • WhatsApp phone number;
  • delivery or access notes, where relevant.

Shopify may also request a shipping address and billing address during checkout.

For WineHoliday local delivery, the Shopify shipping address must correspond to the WineHoliday delivery address.

If some delivery information is automatically transferred or pre-filled, the customer remains responsible for checking that it is complete and correct before payment.

The billing address may be different from the delivery address.

Incorrect, incomplete or inaccessible delivery information may delay or prevent delivery.


5. Delivery Windows

WineHoliday uses different delivery windows according to the selected delivery town and operational route.

These may include morning, late-morning and afternoon delivery windows.

The customer selects the delivery town and delivery date. The applicable delivery window is then assigned automatically.

The exact delivery window is shown in the cart before checkout.

Delivery windows are planning windows rather than guaranteed exact arrival times.

Actual arrival may vary because of:

  • traffic;
  • route conditions;
  • access to villas or rural properties;
  • weather;
  • previous delivery stops;
  • customer availability;
  • other operational circumstances.

Where possible, WineHoliday may provide a more precise estimated arrival time on the delivery day after the route has been organised.

Any estimated arrival time remains approximate.


6. Order Cut-Off

For standard WineHoliday delivery, orders placed by 23:59 may normally be eligible for delivery on the following available delivery day.

Delivery remains subject to:

  • the selected delivery location;
  • the applicable delivery calendar;
  • product availability;
  • operational availability;
  • any product-specific preparation deadline.

Orders placed after the relevant cut-off may be moved to the next eligible delivery date.

WineHoliday does not guarantee same-day delivery.


7. Delivery Days

WineHoliday deliveries are available on selected delivery days according to the delivery location and operational calendar.

There are no standard WineHoliday deliveries on Tuesdays.

Available dates are shown during the ordering process.

WineHoliday may modify future delivery availability due to seasonality, capacity, exceptional closures or operational requirements.


8. Customer Availability at Delivery

The customer must ensure that someone is available at the delivery address during the assigned delivery window.

The customer should also remain reachable using the WhatsApp or telephone number provided.

The customer is responsible for providing accurate and complete information where relevant, including:

  • full address;
  • villa or accommodation name;
  • gate or entrance information;
  • access instructions;
  • parking information;
  • other information reasonably necessary to locate the property.

WineHoliday deliveries form part of an organised daily route.

For this reason, WineHoliday cannot guarantee:

  • extended waiting times;
  • major route changes;
  • an immediate second delivery attempt.

When WineHoliday reaches the delivery location, we will use the address, accommodation name and delivery notes provided by the customer.

If necessary, we may attempt to contact the customer by WhatsApp or telephone.

Where route timing allows, the driver may wait briefly, but this cannot be guaranteed where doing so would materially affect other scheduled deliveries.


9. Alcoholic Products and Age Verification

WineHoliday sells alcoholic beverages.

Alcoholic beverages may not be sold or supplied to persons under 18 years of age under Italian law. Where the buyer's age is not manifest, identification may be requested.

By ordering alcoholic products, the customer confirms that they are at least 18 years old.

An adult aged 18 or over must also be available to receive alcoholic products at delivery.

WineHoliday may request age verification at delivery.

WineHoliday may refuse to hand over alcoholic beverages if:

  • the recipient is under 18;
  • no adult recipient is available;
  • satisfactory proof of age cannot be provided where requested.

10. Failed Delivery / Customer Not Available

A delivery may be unsuccessful where, for example:

  • nobody is available at the delivery address;
  • no adult aged 18 or over is available to receive alcoholic products;
  • the customer cannot be contacted;
  • access to the property is not possible;
  • the address provided is incorrect or incomplete;
  • essential access instructions are missing;
  • the customer provides a delivery address different from the location confirmed during the ordering process.

Where delivery cannot be completed for reasons attributable to the customer:

  • a second delivery attempt is not guaranteed;
  • WineHoliday may offer redelivery where operationally possible;
  • an additional reasonable delivery charge may apply if agreed with the customer;
  • suitable products may be returned to Enoteca Assetati in Asti for possible collection.

A failed delivery caused by the customer does not automatically entitle the customer to a refund for costs or services that have already been properly incurred or performed, subject always to mandatory consumer rights.

Nothing in this section excludes any statutory right that cannot legally be excluded.


11. Collection After an Unsuccessful Delivery

Where appropriate, intact and suitable products may be made available for collection from:

Enoteca Assetati
Via Cavour 83/A
14100 Asti (AT), Italy

Collection must be agreed with WineHoliday in advance and is subject to opening hours and product suitability.

Fresh, chilled or rapidly perishable products cannot be guaranteed to remain suitable for later collection.


12. Redelivery

Redelivery is not guaranteed.

Where WineHoliday can reasonably organise another delivery, the customer will be contacted before a new attempt is made.

An additional delivery charge may apply where the failed delivery resulted from customer absence, incorrect information or inability to access the property.

Any such charge will be communicated before the redelivery is confirmed.


13. Discretionary Credit After a Failed Delivery

Where delivery has failed for reasons attributable to the customer and no statutory refund is due, WineHoliday may voluntarily offer a credit for certain intact, sealed and resellable non-perishable wine or beverage products.

Any such credit is a discretionary goodwill solution.

It may take into account reasonable preparation, handling, return or failed-delivery costs actually incurred where permitted by applicable law.

Fresh, perishable, chilled, made-to-order, opened, damaged or non-resellable products will normally not be eligible for such voluntary credit.

This voluntary credit does not replace or restrict any mandatory statutory right.

Io eliminerei completamente il vecchio forfait fisso di €40.


14. Fresh Food Products

Some WineHoliday food products are fresh, chilled or perishable and must be stored correctly after delivery.

These may include:

  • BBQ meat products;
  • fresh Tajarin;
  • Agnolotti del Plin;
  • sauces;
  • cheeses;
  • other fresh local food.

Customers should make sure someone is available to receive fresh products during the assigned delivery window.

Fresh or rapidly perishable goods may fall within an exception to the normal 14-day withdrawal right applicable to distance purchases.

This does not remove the customer's mandatory rights where a product is defective, incorrect or otherwise non-conforming.

WineHoliday is not responsible for deterioration caused by improper storage after delivery.

Customers should follow all refrigeration and storage instructions shown on the packaging.


15. BBQ Boxes and Sunday Delivery

BBQ meat products are freshly prepared by our trusted local butcher.

For Sunday delivery, BBQ Boxes must be ordered by Friday at 23:59.

BBQ Boxes ordered after Friday at 23:59 cannot normally be prepared for Sunday delivery and may need to be moved to the next eligible delivery date.

Other products in the order may remain subject to the normal WineHoliday delivery rules.


16. Damaged, Missing, Incorrect or Defective Products

If an item is damaged, missing, incorrect or appears defective, customers should contact WineHoliday as soon as reasonably possible.

For fresh or visibly damaged products, we recommend contacting us within 24 hours where possible, because this helps us investigate promptly.

This recommendation does not limit statutory rights concerning defective or non-conforming goods. EU consumer rules provide legal remedies for goods that are defective or do not conform to the contract.

Please provide where possible:

  • order number;
  • photographs of the affected product;
  • photographs of the packaging;
  • a short description of the problem.

Contact:

hello@wineholiday.it

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, an appropriate remedy may include replacement, refund, partial refund or another legally required remedy.


17. Operational Changes

WineHoliday may modify, postpone, suspend or cancel a delivery when reasonably required because of circumstances such as:

  • severe weather;
  • unsafe road or access conditions;
  • vehicle or route problems;
  • force majeure;
  • unexpected product availability problems;
  • safety issues;
  • circumstances outside WineHoliday's reasonable control.

If WineHoliday cannot complete a confirmed delivery for reasons not attributable to the customer, we will contact the customer and offer an appropriate solution according to the circumstances and applicable law.

This may include:

  • a new delivery date;
  • an alternative arrangement;
  • cancellation and refund where required;
  • another reasonable solution agreed with the customer.

18. Changes to Delivery Areas and Conditions

WineHoliday may periodically change:

  • towns served;
  • minimum order values;
  • delivery fees;
  • free-delivery thresholds;
  • delivery windows;
  • delivery days;
  • future delivery availability.

The conditions shown in the cart for the customer's selected delivery location should be checked before completing an order.

Changes to the service for future orders do not automatically change the conditions of an already confirmed order.


19. Returns and Refunds

Returns, cancellation rights, withdrawal rights, damaged products and refunds are governed by the separate WineHoliday Refund, Cancellation & Returns Policy and applicable law.

For eligible online purchases, consumers generally have a 14-day withdrawal right, subject to statutory exceptions including certain rapidly perishable products.


20. European or Courier Shipping

This Shipping Policy applies primarily to the WineHoliday local delivery service in Piemonte.

If WineHoliday introduces separate national or European courier-shipping services in the future, the applicable countries, delivery methods, delivery times and costs will be communicated separately before purchase.

Those future services may be subject to separate shipping terms.


21. Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Shipping Policy excludes or limits mandatory consumer rights under applicable Italian or European Union law.

Where any provision of this Policy conflicts with a mandatory legal right, the mandatory legal provision will prevail.


22. Contact

Quello che abbiamo corretto

I cambiamenti più importanti rispetto alla tua versione sono:

  • eliminato “morning delivery only”;
  • eliminati i soli due vecchi slot AM e sostituiti con fasce assegnate automaticamente, comprese quelle pomeridiane;
  • €69 / €7,90 / €120 diventano “from”, perché le condizioni cambiano per località;
  • eliminato qualsiasi riferimento pubblico ad A–G;
  • eliminato il credito meno €40 fisso;
  • 24 hours diventa una raccomandazione utile, non una perdita automatica dei diritti;
  • precisato che i prodotti freschi possono essere esclusi dal recesso, ma non dalle tutele per prodotto difettoso/non conforme;
  • chiarito che le modifiche future alle aree non possono semplicemente riscrivere retroattivamente un ordine già confermato;
  • reso più prudente il blocco sulla mancata consegna.

Questa è quella che metterei online al posto dell'attuale Shipping Policy.

Dopo questa controllerei Terms of Service: lì probabilmente troveremo gli ultimi riferimenti vecchi a €69, €120, fasce mattutine e mancata consegna.

Sì. Questa Terms of Service va aggiornata, e più della Shipping Policy perché contiene ancora diversi elementi del vecchio assetto: solo finestre mattutine, €69/€7,90/€120 come condizioni universali, una formulazione troppo larga sul recesso e perfino il riferimento alla piattaforma europea ODR, che è stata chiusa definitivamente il 20 luglio 2025.

Ho controllato il testo che mi hai fornito. Le modifiche principali che farei sono:

  • eliminare i vecchi slot solo AM;
  • rendere minimo/tariffa/free shipping variabili per località;
  • non trattare genericamente un ordine di vino come “date-specific service” escluso dal recesso: per un contratto misto in cui il bene è la prestazione principale, le regole relative ai beni continuano normalmente a essere rilevanti; restano invece le eccezioni per prodotti rapidamente deperibili e determinati servizi leisure a data specifica.
  • rendere le 24 ore per danni una raccomandazione, non una decadenza dalla garanzia;
  • rendere più prudente il diritto di WineHoliday di sostituire prodotti;
  • togliere il riferimento alla vecchia piattaforma ODR;
  • mantenere la giurisdizione italiana, ma senza privare il consumatore delle eventuali protezioni inderogabili applicabili.
  • confermare correttamente il divieto di vendita di alcol ai minori di 18 anni e la verifica dell'identità quando necessaria.

Io sostituirei la policy attuale con questa.

1. About WineHoliday

WineHoliday is a service operated by THE GRAPE SCREAM DI DOMANDA LIUBA E PISTAMIGLIO OMAR SNC, also operating Enoteca Assetati in Asti.

These Terms of Service govern purchases and bookings made through the WineHoliday website, including:

  • wines and other alcoholic beverages;
  • non-alcoholic drinks;
  • food and fresh food products;
  • WineHoliday Boxes;
  • BBQ Boxes;
  • local delivery services;
  • private wine tastings;
  • related WineHoliday products and services.

By placing an order or booking a service, the customer agrees to these Terms together with the applicable:

  • Shipping & Local Delivery Policy;
  • Refund, Cancellation & Returns Policy;
  • Privacy Policy;
  • any product-specific or service-specific conditions displayed before purchase.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts mandatory consumer rights under applicable law.


2. Age Requirement and Alcoholic Products

WineHoliday sells alcoholic beverages.

Alcoholic beverages may not be sold to persons under 18 years of age under Italian law. A seller must request identification where the buyer's legal age is not manifest.

By purchasing alcoholic products, the customer confirms that they are at least 18 years old.

An adult aged 18 or over must also be available to receive alcoholic products at delivery.

WineHoliday may request proof of age.

WineHoliday may refuse to hand over alcoholic beverages where:

  • the recipient is under 18;
  • no adult recipient is available;
  • satisfactory proof of age cannot be provided where requested.

Any consequences of an unsuccessful delivery will be handled according to these Terms, the Shipping Policy, the Refund Policy and mandatory law.


3. Products, Services and Prices

All prices displayed on the WineHoliday website are in Euros and include VAT unless otherwise stated.

The price applicable to an order is the price displayed when the customer completes the purchase.

WineHoliday may change, for future orders:

  • product prices;
  • product selection;
  • delivery areas;
  • minimum order values;
  • delivery fees;
  • free-delivery thresholds;
  • delivery schedules;
  • service availability.

Changes made after an order has been confirmed do not automatically alter the agreed conditions of that confirmed order.

Product availability may vary according to stock, seasonality and supplier availability.


4. Product Availability and Substitutions

WineHoliday aims to supply the products ordered by the customer.

If a specifically ordered product becomes unavailable after purchase, WineHoliday may contact the customer and propose:

  • an equivalent alternative;
  • a higher-value alternative at no additional cost;
  • removal of the unavailable item with an appropriate refund;
  • another solution agreed with the customer.

For WineHoliday Boxes or assortments whose product description expressly states that individual contents may vary according to availability, WineHoliday may make reasonable substitutions consistent with the nature, style and value of the box.

WineHoliday will not materially alter a specifically ordered product without an appropriate basis or customer agreement where required.

Mandatory rights relating to conformity of goods remain unaffected.


5. Orders and Confirmation

An order is confirmed only once payment has been successfully completed.

Unpaid, pending, failed or abandoned transactions:

  • are not confirmed orders;
  • do not reserve products;
  • do not reserve delivery availability;
  • do not reserve tasting availability.

WineHoliday may refuse or cancel an order for a legitimate reason, including:

  • product unavailability;
  • obvious pricing or technical errors;
  • an unavailable delivery location;
  • incorrect or incomplete customer information;
  • operational impossibility;
  • suspected fraud or misuse;
  • inability to provide the ordered service.

If WineHoliday cancels a paid order for reasons not attributable to the customer and cannot offer an acceptable alternative, the appropriate amount will be refunded.


6. Payment

Payment must be completed using one of the payment methods available during checkout.

WineHoliday is not required to prepare, deliver or reserve an order or service before successful payment.

Payment processing may be provided by Shopify or other authorised payment service providers according to the methods displayed at checkout.


7. WineHoliday Local Delivery

WineHoliday delivers selected wines, beverages, food products, fresh products and WineHoliday Boxes directly to:

  • villas;
  • holiday homes;
  • accommodations;
  • private houses;
  • second homes;

within selected WineHoliday service locations in Piemonte.

WineHoliday local deliveries are currently performed directly by WineHoliday using our own vehicle.

The local delivery service is subject to the Shipping & Local Delivery Policy.


8. Delivery Areas and Conditions

WineHoliday operates in selected towns and locations across Langhe, Monferrato, the Asti area and other currently active service locations in Piemonte.

The customer selects an eligible delivery town during the ordering process.

Delivery conditions vary according to the location and may include different:

  • minimum order values;
  • delivery fees;
  • free-delivery thresholds;
  • available delivery dates;
  • delivery windows.

Current delivery conditions start from:

  • Minimum order from €69
  • Delivery fee from €7.90
  • Free delivery from €120

The exact conditions applicable to the selected location are displayed during the ordering process before checkout.

Internal WineHoliday operational area codes are used to manage the service but do not alter the delivery conditions displayed to and accepted by the customer.


9. WineHoliday Delivery Details

Customers must provide accurate delivery information during the ordering process.

This may include:

  • delivery town;
  • villa, holiday home, accommodation or private home name;
  • full delivery address;
  • delivery date;
  • WhatsApp phone number;
  • access or delivery notes.

Shopify may also request shipping and billing information at checkout.

For WineHoliday local delivery, the shipping address must correspond to the intended WineHoliday delivery location.

If address or municipality information is automatically pre-filled or transferred during checkout, the customer remains responsible for checking its accuracy before completing payment.

The billing address may be different from the delivery address.


10. Customer Responsibility for Delivery Information

The customer is responsible for providing sufficient and correct information to locate and access the delivery property.

This may include, where necessary:

  • road and house number;
  • villa or accommodation name;
  • gate information;
  • access instructions;
  • parking information;
  • useful directions;
  • a reachable WhatsApp number.

WineHoliday is not responsible for delays or unsuccessful delivery caused solely by materially incorrect, incomplete or inaccessible information supplied by the customer, subject always to mandatory consumer rights.


11. Delivery Dates and Windows

WineHoliday deliveries operate according to a delivery calendar and route system.

Customers select a delivery date.

The applicable delivery window is assigned automatically according to the delivery town and operational route.

WineHoliday delivery windows may include:

  • morning;
  • late morning;
  • afternoon.

The exact applicable window is displayed during the ordering process.

Delivery windows are approximate planning windows and not guaranteed exact arrival times.

Arrival may vary because of circumstances such as:

  • traffic;
  • road conditions;
  • access to rural or private properties;
  • weather;
  • previous delivery stops;
  • customer access issues;
  • other operational circumstances.

Where available, WineHoliday may communicate a more precise estimated arrival time on the delivery day.


12. Delivery Days

WineHoliday deliveries operate on selected available days.

There are no standard WineHoliday deliveries on Tuesdays.

The available dates shown during the ordering process are the dates currently offered for the selected location.

Future availability may change according to:

  • capacity;
  • seasonality;
  • closures;
  • operational requirements.

13. Order Cut-Off

For standard WineHoliday delivery, orders placed by 23:59 may normally be eligible for the following available delivery day.

Delivery remains subject to:

  • delivery location;
  • available delivery calendar;
  • product availability;
  • applicable product-specific cut-offs.

Orders placed after the applicable cut-off may need to be scheduled for the next eligible delivery date.

WineHoliday does not guarantee same-day delivery.

Some fresh or specially prepared products may have earlier preparation deadlines.


14. Customer Availability at Delivery

The customer must ensure that someone is available at the delivery location during the assigned delivery window.

The customer should remain reachable through the contact information supplied.

For orders containing alcohol, an adult aged 18 or over must be available.

WineHoliday deliveries are organised as part of a daily route.

WineHoliday cannot therefore guarantee:

  • extended waiting at a property;
  • major changes to the route;
  • immediate redelivery;
  • free second delivery attempts.

Where possible, WineHoliday may briefly wait or attempt to contact the customer, but this cannot be guaranteed where doing so would materially affect other scheduled deliveries.


15. Failed Delivery

A delivery may be unsuccessful where, for example:

  • nobody is available;
  • no suitable adult is available to receive alcohol;
  • the customer cannot be contacted;
  • access to the property is not possible;
  • the supplied address is materially incorrect or incomplete;
  • essential access information is missing.

Where a delivery fails for reasons attributable to the customer:

  • redelivery is not guaranteed;
  • an additional reasonable redelivery fee may apply if a second attempt is agreed;
  • suitable products may be returned to Enoteca Assetati in Asti for possible collection;
  • fresh or perishable products may no longer remain suitable for later delivery or collection.

A failed delivery does not automatically create a right to reimbursement for services or costs already properly incurred, subject always to mandatory consumer rights.

Full conditions are set out in the Shipping and Refund Policies.


16. Fresh, Perishable and Made-to-Order Products

Certain WineHoliday products are fresh, chilled, rapidly perishable, made-to-order or prepared specifically for a confirmed order.

These may include:

  • BBQ meat products;
  • fresh pasta;
  • certain sauces;
  • cheeses;
  • other fresh local products.

Fresh or rapidly perishable goods may fall within statutory exceptions to the normal 14-day withdrawal right for distance contracts.

This does not affect mandatory rights where products are:

  • damaged;
  • defective;
  • incorrect;
  • otherwise not in conformity with the contract.

Fresh products must be refrigerated and stored according to the instructions provided after delivery.

WineHoliday is not responsible for deterioration caused by improper storage after delivery.


17. BBQ Boxes

BBQ meat products are prepared fresh by our trusted local butcher.

For Sunday delivery, BBQ Boxes must be ordered by Friday at 23:59.

Orders received after this deadline cannot normally be prepared for Sunday delivery and may need to be scheduled for the next eligible delivery date.


18. Right of Withdrawal

Consumers purchasing online generally have a statutory right to withdraw from an eligible distance contract within 14 days, without giving a reason. For goods, the period normally runs from delivery.

Statutory exceptions may apply, including to:

  • goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
  • certain sealed hygiene-sensitive goods after opening;
  • clearly personalised goods;
  • certain fully performed services where the statutory requirements are met;
  • accommodation, catering and leisure services contracted for a specific date or period.

WineHoliday does not automatically treat every local delivery order as excluded from the withdrawal right merely because it has a delivery date or delivery window.

For mixed contracts where goods are the principal subject of the contract and delivery is ancillary, applicable consumer rules concerning the goods remain relevant.

Customers wishing to exercise an available statutory right of withdrawal should contact:

hello@wineholiday.it

Further details are contained in the Refund, Cancellation & Returns Policy.


19. Change of Mind

Where a statutory withdrawal right applies, the customer may exercise that right according to applicable law even if they have simply changed their mind.

Where a statutory exception applies — for example to certain rapidly perishable goods — the withdrawal right may not be available.

Opened or used goods may be subject to rules concerning diminished value or may be excluded from return where a statutory exception applies.

Customers should consult the Refund, Cancellation & Returns Policy or contact WineHoliday before returning products.


20. Damaged, Missing, Incorrect or Defective Products

If an item is damaged, missing, incorrect or appears defective, the customer should contact WineHoliday as soon as reasonably possible.

For fresh or visibly damaged goods, we recommend contacting us within 24 hours where possible, as this helps us investigate promptly.

This 24-hour recommendation does not remove or shorten mandatory statutory rights.

EU consumer law provides a minimum legal guarantee for goods that are defective or do not conform to what was agreed.

Customers should provide where possible:

  • order number;
  • photographs;
  • photographs of packaging where relevant;
  • a brief description of the problem.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, the appropriate remedy may include:

  • replacement;
  • refund;
  • partial refund;
  • another remedy required by law.

Contact:

hello@wineholiday.it


21. Private Wine Tastings

Private tastings are available:

  • in selected service locations;
  • on selected dates and times;
  • subject to availability.

Customers must provide the correct tasting location when booking.

Private tastings are booked for a specific date, time and location.

WineHoliday voluntarily allows customers to request cancellation or rescheduling up to 48 hours before the scheduled tasting, subject to availability.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the tasting may not be refundable, subject to mandatory rights.

No-shows may be non-refundable.

A no-show may include situations where:

  • the customer or group is absent;
  • the provided address is incorrect;
  • access to the location is not possible;
  • the customer cannot be contacted;
  • the required adult participants are not available where alcohol is involved.

Because a private tasting is a leisure service booked for a specific date and time, the statutory exception applicable to certain date-specific leisure services may apply.


22. Weather and Private Tastings

Private tastings are intended to take place at the booked villa, holiday home, accommodation or private house, normally indoors or in another suitable protected area.

Normal bad weather does not automatically require cancellation.

If severe weather, unsafe conditions or other exceptional circumstances make the tasting impossible or unsafe, WineHoliday will contact the customer and may offer:

  • rescheduling;
  • an alternative arrangement;
  • cancellation and refund where legally required;
  • another appropriate solution.

23. Service Area for Tastings

Private tastings are available only in selected Piemonte locations.

The customer must provide the tasting address.

If WineHoliday determines that a confirmed tasting cannot be performed because the requested location is outside the available service area, WineHoliday will contact the customer and provide an appropriate solution, which may include cancellation and refund.


24. Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for:

  • providing accurate order information;
  • providing accurate delivery information;
  • checking automatically pre-filled information;
  • providing a reachable contact number;
  • ensuring reasonable access to the property;
  • being available during the delivery window;
  • ensuring an adult aged 18 or over receives alcohol;
  • checking the order confirmation;
  • storing fresh and chilled products correctly;
  • respecting reasonable rules of the property where delivery or tasting takes place.

25. Liability

WineHoliday is not responsible for failure or delay caused by circumstances outside its reasonable control, including where relevant:

  • severe weather;
  • unsafe road conditions;
  • force majeure;
  • unexpected access restrictions;
  • customer-provided incorrect information;
  • customer absence;
  • supplier disruption.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful.

I would remove the current blanket sentence saying WineHoliday's liability is always limited to the value of the order. Consumer-contract limitations of liability can be legally sensitive, and there is little commercial benefit in trying to establish such a broad limitation here.


26. Privacy and Delivery Data

WineHoliday processes personal data according to its Privacy Policy.

For local delivery or booked services, this may include information reasonably necessary to fulfil the order, such as:

  • delivery town;
  • delivery address;
  • accommodation name;
  • contact details;
  • WhatsApp number;
  • delivery or access notes.

If WineHoliday introduces a location/address checker using device location or Google-based address services, the relevant Privacy Policy and consent/information mechanisms should be updated before that functionality goes live.


27. Governing Law and Consumer Protection

These Terms are governed by Italian law.

However, nothing in this choice of law deprives consumers of mandatory protections that may apply to them under applicable consumer law. Under EU conflict-of-law rules, a contractual choice of law cannot remove mandatory consumer protections that would otherwise apply in qualifying consumer contracts.

Any dispute will be handled by the competent court determined according to applicable law.

I would therefore not write simply “all disputes are exclusively subject to the Court of Asti” for consumer purchases.


28. Alternative Dispute Resolution

Where applicable, consumers may have access to recognised alternative dispute resolution bodies under applicable Italian and European rules.

Do not include the old European Commission Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform link.

The EU ODR platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025, and Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 was repealed from that date.


29. Amendments

WineHoliday may amend these Terms for future purchases and services.

Updated Terms will take effect when published on the website or from any later effective date indicated.

Changes do not retroactively alter the contractual terms of an already confirmed order unless:

  • required by law;
  • necessary to correct an obvious error;
  • expressly agreed with the customer.
