LOVED this. Been on many wine tours and Alessandro was not only so informative but so kind and passionate about what he does. The tour itself is the perfect balance of history/education but fun and interesting. It’s so close to Verona so it’s easy to get to and they have a massive parking lot if you drive. Great value and great quality!

Wonderful- informative and interesting and fun. Great wine tasting. We had our tasting in an oversized wine barrel which made the experience even more fun.
Very great service, excellent tour in English. Exciting information about the wines from Verona and the surrounding area. Great bread, salami, and cheese - we recommend the tour!
A chance to learn more about wine making and history of the vinery. Very friendly enthusiastic young people.
Hi Carol, thank you for your kind review! We’re happy you enjoyed learning about the winemaking process and the history of the winery. Meeting passionate people behind the wines makes the experience even more special.
Although we can't drink too much for obvious reasons we tasted excellent wines and welcome appetizer
Grazie per la sua recensione! Siamo felici che abbiate comunque potuto apprezzare i vini e l’aperitivo di benvenuto. Anche con una degustazione più leggera è sempre un piacere scoprire i sapori della Valpolicella.
Very pleasant experience, very competent guide and excellent explanations, beautiful winery and interesting history
Very quick review. Not worth spending money on Tapas dry bread and get slices of dull sausage. Showed only the expensive wines. It could have been made better

Wonderful visit, great tasting and exciting visit with Leonardo. History of winery is very interesting.
An outstanding excursion from start to finish! The guides were true professionals — knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly attentive. They shared fascinating insights into the winemaking process, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. The winery visit was well-organized, and the wine tasting was simply amazing — rich, complex Amarone paired perfectly with local treats. A must-do for anyone who appreciates great wine and top-notch hospitality
We learned a lot about wines from the area, as well as what the wines would pair best with. The history of the winery and the founders was fascinating. The tasting was lead by a winery family member, who was very knowledgeable and entertaining too. We would have liked to stay longer, but we had a train to catch!
