The Antinori Family has been making wine since Giovanni di Piero Antinori became part of the Florence vintner's guild, the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri, in 1385. Throughout its long history, which now spans 26 generations, the family has always personally managed the business from its offices in Florence, making innovative, and sometimes daring choices, but always with unwavering respect for tradition and the land.

In addition to their Italian estates in Tuscany and Umbria, the Antinori family also operates Antica Napa Valley. Two couples are invited to join the Antica team for a once-in-a-lifetime Napa Valley experience. Spend three days at the Hotel Villagio, located in the heart of Yountville. The property boasts a sophisticated and passionate vibe while providing the highest levels of service in an environment of casual glamour.

Spend a day exploring the beautiful Antica property before indulging in an evening at Bottega Napa Valley where Michael Chiarello's cuisine brings together the best of Italy and California, complemented with a selection of Marchesi Antinori's Tuscan wines.

The lucky winners will receive a carefully curated selection of Antinori and Antica wines as well as a one-year membership to the Antica Wine Club and a copy of Marchesi Antinori; a book written to reflect on both the impressive tradition of the family and the important history of the House of Antinori wine business.
