Exploring Valpolicella

A day trip in the Valpolicella countryside, visiting wineries and tasting wines.

The best way to taste and understand wine is from the source. Our guided vineyard discovery takes wine lovers away from the city on a beautiful drive to the Valpolicella countryside.

Enjoy a day exploring the majestic Valpolicella region of Italy. Leave Verona in your private transfer to reach Valpolicella, the land of Amarone.

Your expert guide will introduce you to two different vineyards where you will meet the winemakers as they welcome you into their production. From here you will tour the grounds, gain an understanding of how Amarone is made before you sit back and taste Valpolicella wines from Classico to Ripasso and Amarone, paired with local snacks.

In between your vineyard experiences you will stop for lunch at an authentic and elegant restaurant to dine upon seasonal local food paired with beautiful wines from Valpolicella. It is a full day focused on introducing you to the beauty that is Valpolicella.
