This was the most pleasant and beautiful experience, by the most gracious and friendly hosts ,from start to finish this was thoughtful and charming over laid with all the relevant information and interesting facts of the area and the production of wine and olive oil. It's a must if your in verona and wish to experience the love that is self evident in their wine production,and the first class product they lovingly produce.
We enjoyed a great experience in Italian hospitality. The tour guide gave us a personal tour in a 5th generation family winery with interesting insights. We tasted excellent wines in a wonderful scenery in Valpolicella and we got a ride back to Verona to help us with our afternoon plans. We definitely recommend this experience and we plan to come back when we get a chance.

Ilaria and team were the most gracious hosts to my friends and me. We decided to book a tour during the heatwave a couple of weeks ago and hoped to escape to a little cooler weather. They gave us a tour, which included learning the history of the winemakers in the region as well as their own property. We stayed much longer than expected as we were really enjoying getting to know everyone, and we enjoyed the wine so very much! Fully recommend this tour to see a bit of a different side of Verona and explore outside the city. I If we make our way to Verona again, I know we will be back to visit this beautiful location.

Beautiful winery with rich history and priceless views. Wasn't totally what I expected. Tour was more of a casual chat around the place and wine tasting was very informal. Note the transport isn't a shuttle or a bus but collection by the owner in the winery's private vehicle.
Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the beauty of the estate, its history, and the panoramic views. Our Discover Valpolicella experience is intentionally designed as a relaxed and authentic visit rather than a formal guided tour. Guests are welcomed into our family estate to enjoy an informal conversation while exploring the vineyards and winery, followed by a wine tasting in a friendly and personal atmosphere, exactly as described in the experience details. Regarding transportation, we also specify in the booking information that guests choosing the transfer option are collected directly by a member of our team in a private winery vehicle rather than by a shuttle bus. We appreciate your comments, as they help future guests better understand the style of experience we offer, and we hope to welcome you again someday.
Wonderful experience. We are not wine experts, but precisely for this reason, we appreciated the tour that opened our eyes to the great work behind every bottle of wine and every label. So much work and so much passion. Wonderful wines, accompanied by small delicacies... wonderful hospitality and kind, attentive staff. Definitely worth repeating!
