3.00Beautiful 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.

5.00Wonderful 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!

5.00We had an amazing time at the vineyard. Before we went I was contacted asking if we needed help with transport, which we did, and it was all arranged for us (at our cost). The setting was absolutely stunning. We spent some time in the vines learning all about the grapes, climate and processes before we went to the wine garden for the tasting. I LOVE Italian wine and this did not disappoint. We were given snacks (which we needed!) to accompany the tasting that were delicious. It was relaxed, fun, informative and a really great way to spend 3-4 hours if you’re in the Verona area. Massive thanks to Ilaria for making us so welcome.
Wonderful immersive experience.

5.00The hostess, with care and passion, shared stories about Valpolicella (a beautiful land) and the wine from this region during the visit to the vineyards, the cellars, and also during the tasting of all their produced wines.
Great experience

1.00We arrived at the designated meeting point in Verona only to be called by the vineyard and told to get in a taxi. Additional Cost of around €40-50 each way. Furious and disappointed as this was a birthday trip for my husband’s 50th birthday.
Wonderful experience and owners

5.005 star experience, or 6 or 7. The vineyard is amazing, full of history and wonderful people. The tour was full of facts about the region and wine making process. The tasting was accompanied by very delicious bites to eat. We are so thrilled with the experience we are heading back in a few days for their olive oil tour! I cannot stress enough how welcome we felt at the owners table, perfetto!
