What to expect
You'll start with a drive through vine-covered slopes toward a family winery where tastings happen in the cellar or tasting room. A guide talks through each wine—production, ageing, what to look for. You'll then visit an olive oil producer and cheese maker, tasting their goods alongside cured meats and fresh produce. Lunch is substantial: carpaccio, local cheeses, fruits, and bread, paired with wine. A leisurely walk follows through nearby countryside before returning to Verona. Expect around two to three hours of tasting and food, the rest travel and touring.
Good to know
