During this tour, you will be able to broaden your horizons by visiting 2 wineries and tasting wines, including famous Amarone, from different producers.
You will start with a visit to a family-run winery in the very heart of Valpolicella Classica to have a guided walk among the vineyards, to visit historic and modern cellars and learn something new about wine-making process. The experience finishes with a guided tasting of 6 wines accompanied by a selection of cold cuts and cheese from small local producers.

Finally, you will be welcomed in the second historic winery, located in a country house dating back to 1917 and surrounded by beautiful hills full of vineyards, cherry trees and olive trees.
