5Boutique winery experience
This small group tour visits two small family run wineries so the vibe is much more personal than a large tour going to wineries that can handle coach loads . It’s charming, you’ll learn all about the winemaking process and there’s lots of opportunity to ask questions. The minivan is clean and comfortable and our guide Emanuel very knowledgeable.
5Excellent wine tasting....
Excellent wine tasting. We visited two beautiful wineries. Aleksandra was a fabulous host. Really liked the small group and traveling by small van.
5Absolutely a well spent afternoon
A fun and easy way to learn about and enjoy the Valpolicella area and wines! Stefano, our guide, was a blast of positivity eagerly sharing his passion for Italy and its wine heritage. Making the most of the short drive into the vineyards, he shared just enough history and information about the area to entice our curiosity (and palettes!) by the time we arrived at the first property. We visited two very different vineyards, learned all about their production, got out in the vineyard, and enjoyed several tastes with local products. Our hosts at both properties were delightful and my fellow visitors asked very interesting questions. Stefano was very generous with his local knowledge about restaurants, tours, etc, as well. We all came back much more knowledgeable and ready to continue our Veronese wine journey! Absolutely a well spent afternoon.

5This tour was fantastic,...
This tour was fantastic, it includes visiting two wineries with different approaches to creating the same style of reds. Lorenzo the tour guide was amazing and very friendly and informative. It’s a tour of eight so feels really exclusive and intimate.
5Wine tasting in a beautiful setting.
Despite being very early in the day to drink wine ( we did the 9am departure) it was excellent. First stop small family run vineyard. Our guide/ driver was great. The owner was so helpful and the setting just fabulous. Second stop almost as good. Highly recommend.

About Verona
Verona, in Veneto, is a Roman and medieval city on a loop of the Adige, with a vast arena, Juliet's balcony and Lake Garda close by.
The Adige curves around Verona's old centre, and the city's Roman past is plain to see in the Arena, an amphitheatre of the first century that still stages open-air opera in summer. Piazza delle Erbe, the market square on the old Roman forum, is lined with frescoed houses and has a column topped by the lion of Venice, and the Torre dei Lamberti beside it can be climbed. The historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Top-ranked sights in Verona: Verona Historic Center (Verona Centro Storico) , Piazza delle Erbe, Verona Arena.
