Top 10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Verona, Veneto

December 23, 2021 Karren Gelb

So splendid was medieval Verona that its reputation alone inspired Shakespeare to set two plays here (Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona). Though its connection to the actual Capulets is tenuous at best, the so-called Juliet's House draws half a million tourists per year, many of them keen on reenacting the balcony scene. Don't miss the Roman amphitheater and the Palazzo Barberi.

My wife and I visited as part of a Titan Travel holiday. Our host, Sylvia, was really friendly and helpful and we were treated a selection of bread, meat and cheese to go with the samples of wine to taste. The Valpolicella reds were delicious and my wife considers the Prosecco the best she's ever tasted so we just had to buy a mixed case. Delivery charges are paid separately to the shipper but everything was arranged brilliantly by Sylvia and the wine arrived perfectly packed within days of our return home. Great wine, great service.

I wanted to send a gift of wine to someone in Verona, and I reached out to Sara for help. She was extremely helpful and very generous with her time, and always replied quickly and kindly to all of my questions. With her excellent wine knowledge, she helped me put together a selection of local Italian wines and get them delivered (with no charge for the local delivery!). She even took the time to translate and hand write a beautiful letter to include with the wines. I can't say enough about her gracious professionalism. I look forward to a day when I can travel to Verona again and enjoy some of the wine and food tours that Sara and Virginia offer. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would!

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!

I loved the whole experience! I have never done anything like this before, and it felt simply relaxing and liberating! I want to repeat it as soon as I have the chance. The guide tour, Fabio, was the kindest person for the whole tour. He was so patient to explain us how to use the e-bikes and how to go through the entire ride. ¡Best tour ever!

I booked this tour for me and my husband on a whim just to give us something to do for the weekend...and it was an excellent decision! Our guide Cristina responded to us within an hour to inquire about our food preferences and to also ensure that we didn’t have any allergies which we found to be very helpful and thoughtful. Once we met up at the designated time, she was very informative about each place we went to and she showed us some different restaurants that we may not have ventured into had we visited Verona on our own. At each place, she asked us if we wanted photos and let us take our time to marvel at everything after explaining the history behind it. We even got to see the arena which was sooo beautiful in person. If you want a tour guide that is going to show you more than just the typical tourists routes, book with Cristina. She made our experience worthwhile.

The vineyard also features a small BnB with a small restaurant (that serves a great breakfast) and rooms with French doors opening up to the olive trees and views of Verona city below. Splendid, splendid!! I stayed there one night with friends - the room was large, well appointed. The reception was friendly ('have a glass of bubbly in our lobby seating area while we review your passport, as per tourism rules' - how hospitable!). The bed was comfortable, the breakfast delicious.

My husband and I did the private Online Fresh Pasta and Tiramisù Cooking Class today and it was simple incredible. It was our first cooking class of any kind and it was perfect. So well paced, easy to follow along, and fun! It felt so natural at times I forgot we were on Zoom. Definitely recommend, and would do it again.
