Wine Tasting Verona: 5 wines with panoramic viewsYou tour the vineyard and cellar, taste five wines—white, Valpolicella, Valpolicella Superiore, Ripasso, and Amarone—paired with a platter of local cheeses and cured meats, all on a terrace overlooking Verona and the surrounding hills. The guide explains what makes each wine distinct, and the two hours include everything: entry, the tasting, the food, and the view.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Valpolicella and Amarone without the formality of a wine school, and if sitting on a terrace with the city in view matters as much as what's in the glass. The small group size and the location just outside Verona mean you get both the education and the setting in one afternoon.

Minimum two participants required.Is it for me?A small-group class with a local chef means you learn by doing, not by watching—the chef works alongside you, corrects your technique in real time, and answers questions as they come up, so you leave knowing how to make gelato, not just having watched someone else make it.

Minimum age 18; live guides speak English and Italian.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a free afternoon in Bardolino and want to see how wine is actually made rather than just taste it -- you walk the vineyard, watch fermentation and aging happen, then taste the finished wines with the context of where they came from.

Valpolicella: Amarone Wine Tasting & Vineyard Walk with WinemakerYou walk the vineyards with the winemaker, see how Amarone grapes dry in a centuries-old room, tour a 17th-century cellar, and taste three wines paired with local cheese and salami on a terrace overlooking Valpolicella. The winery is family-run and works directly with visitors — no intermediaries or tour operators — so what you're tasting is what they actually make.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in or near Verona who want to understand how Amarone is actually made, not just taste it. The winemaker leads the whole experience, so you're learning directly from the person who made the wine, which is what makes a small family winery different from a larger tour operation.

Children must be at least 14 years old; a minimum of 2 participants is required to run the class.Is it for me?Book this class if you want to learn techniques you'll actually use at home—the pasta, risotto and tiramisù you make are the lunch you eat, and the cookbook means you're not starting from scratch when you recreate them in your own kitchen.

The tour moves through the city's historic streets and squares—Piazza delle Erbe, Porta Borsari, and landmarks near the Basilica di Santa Anastasia—and covers the equivalent of a full meal: aperitif with crostini, a pasta course, a hearty main with polenta or fish, and a dessert or gelato. Small groups keep the experience personal, and three alcoholic drinks are included for guests 18 and over.Is it for me?Book the lunch or dinner option depending on when you want to eat and explore—both follow the same route and stops, so choose based on your schedule and appetite for the time of day. Small groups mean your guide can answer questions and adjust the pace to your interests, which matters if you're curious about Veronese food history or prefer to move quickly between stops.

A certified local driver leads the tour in English or Italian, and the experience lasts around five hours.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to taste Amarone at the source and meet the people who make it, rather than visit a crowded tasting room.
