Antica VIP Members Update
August 2023. Reservations for September open. Introducing Antica Travel Co.
Hello everyone -
August is fully booked (Antica is closed for the last weekend of August for a short break), so we are now opening reservations for September & October.
Good news too - our Friday night dinner sessions are back on from Friday 8 September!
In our biggest news, we are slowly gearing up to re-introduce our food and wine cultural adventures to Paolo’s home region of Ciociaria after a three year hiatus.
We have rebranded our original tour company to Antica Travel Co. and our immersive small-group travel experiences will commence from September 2024.
More details below.
We would love for you to join us at Antica Australis in Carcoar if you can over the next few months. Spring is in the air in the village!
Don’t forget to plan ahead for accommodation - you can find more details on the Stay Carcoar page on our website.

SEPTEMBER SET MENU » salumi e formaggio to start, followed by artisanal pasta with a parmesan fondue. Rack of lamb with mushroom sauce & thrice-cooked potatoes and decadent Zuppa Inglese for dolce (savoiardi biscuits soaked in Alchermes pink liquor of Arabic spices, layered with chocolate mousse & lemon cream).
ANTICA TRAVEL CO. » you’ve heard the stories, tasted the food, had a crash course in the thousands and thousands layered years of history…now follow us to the Wild Heart of Italy.
We are now taking Expressions of Interest from our Antica VIP Members (that’s you) to join us for a cultural travel experience in Paolo’s home region of Ciociaria.
We will be staying in a 1,000 year old monastery in the mountaintop village of Veroli, which was originally a Samnite fortified city before being overtaken by the ancient Romans. Itinerary will include forest walks, organic vineyard visits and meeting all of our Ciociarian friends who run their own locandas (in their own unique way).
You can choose to join us from Sunday 1-8 September 2024 or Sunday 22-29 September 2024. Small groups maximum 10 guests. Return transfers to Ciociaria from Rome.
No other details yet, just let us know if you’re interested by return email and we will make sure you are first to find out more when we open for reservations in September.
