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.

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!
Small family winery with lots of charm and good wines

5.00The visit was very interesting, explained everything very well without being too technical. We have come away with a clear idea of what wines and how they are made in Valoolicella. Besides all this the place is very nice. L
