About this experience

Amarone wine… Here’s one of our most popular wine tours!

We will take you through the glorious Valpolicella land to discovering all the secrets of our traditional red wines. On the wine route you will stop at two different wineries and you will taste the entire range of their DOC (Controlled Denomination of Origin) and DOCG (Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin), such as Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone and Recioto with their different styles.

An opportunity to know the Amarone wine making process and the famous appassimento method.

On the way the great scenery of our hills and their vineyards: every season is different but always an extraordinary show on Earth!
