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.
Verona: Amarone Wine Tasting & Valpolicella Winery TourYou meet your guide at Teatro Ristori and travel by private minivan to two family-run wineries in Valpolicella, where the producers themselves lead you through their cellars and guide you through eight wines paired with local products. The group stays under eight people, transport and tastings are included, and you're back in the city by early afternoon.Is it for me?Book this if you want to taste Amarone and understand where it comes from without arranging your own transport or navigating between wineries — the small group and winemaker-led tastings are what make the difference between a tasting room visit and actually learning the wine.
Verona to Sirmione & Lake Garda: Boat Cruise & Spritz TastingYou travel from Verona to Lake Garda by car, board a private boat cruise that passes the Scaliger Castle and Roman grottoes, then spend free time exploring Sirmione's streets and waterfront before returning for a spritz tasting in Verona. Transport, the boat, and the tasting are all included; you just need to decide how much time to spend wandering the town.Is it for me?Book this if you want the main Lake Garda experience without arranging a boat, transport, or figuring out where to taste a proper spritz — the fixed itinerary handles all three, and the free time in Sirmione means you're not locked to a schedule once you arrive.
Verona to Valpolicella: Amarone Wine Tour & TastingsYou’ll leave Verona for an afternoon among Valpolicella’s vineyards, tasting Amarone and other local wines where they’re actually made. With a guide who knows everyone by name, you’ll sample six wines paired with cheese and salumi, hear stories from winemakers themselves, and maybe find yourself quietly smiling at the view between sips.
