Semi-Private Amarone Wine Tasting Tour From Verona
Taste Valpolicella reds, tour family owned cellars, and meet the winemakers behind the iconic wines
Valpolicella built its legend on a bold idea: let grapes dry, concentrate their sweetness, then give the wine time to become something powerful. Amarone carries that patience in every sip, but it only makes sense when you see the craft behind it. This guided tour from Verona takes you to two wineries for cellar visits and tastings, with winemakers or expert sommeliers at both stops. You will compare traditional and modern styles and leave fluent in flavor.
