What to expect

Your morning begins with a guided wander through Verona's compact core, taking in porticoed streets, piazzas, and the amphitheatre that defines the skyline. After an hour or so absorbing the city's Roman bones and medieval character, you'll travel by private car into the rolling Valpolicella hills. At a cellar, a tasting unfolds across five wines—moving through lighter varieties toward Amarone's dense, dried-fruit intensity. Alongside each pour comes conversation about production methods and terroir. A simple meal built from regional cured meats, cheeses, and vegetables anchors the tasting, letting food and wine sit together as locals know them.
