Transport from Verona comes only with the option that includes it. 4.74 from 362 reviews at €70 per person for 2h 30m. ## Overview Join an unforgettable tour in our family Winery with the winemaker! We are a Winery boutique in the heart of Valpolicella and we organize activities to share our passion for Valpolicella and Amarone wines with our guests (we offer it directly, without intermediaries or tour operator). We’ll start with a walk in the vineyard, telling you the family history about the winery and the estates. You’ll learn how to dry Amarone grapes in the traditional drying room, a process called Appassimento. You'll visit our rural house and the cellar from the 17th century used for winemaking and refinement. At the conclusion, the tasting of a selection of our fine wines Valpolicella, RIPASSO and the great AMARONE, learning how to evaluate them by sight, smell and taste. You’ll also enjoy our organic EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, local cheeses called Monte Veronese and Soppressa Valpolicella (a kind of salami). We’ll be waiting for you on our amazing terrace with a stunning view of the Valpolicella! ## Before you book - Meeting point: For information about transport from… - 4 start times: between 10:00 and 16:00 - Food included: Amarone wine tasting with the winemaker - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age 18+: minimum age to join ## Key facts - Price: from €70 per person for the Wine tasting in Valpolicella option; other options up to €90 - Duration: 2h 30m - Rating: 4.74/5 from 362 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 94% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: TENUTA SANTA MARIA VALVERDE ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Wine tasting in Valpolicella | €70 / person | Italian, English | Go by public transport: Take a direct bus with the help of our service: 30min. easy-trip from Verona centre and VR Porta Nuova station Go by your own car: Meeting point in Valpolicella at: Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde... | | W.T. + transport -> Winery | €90 / person | Italian, English | 2 pick-up points in Verona: A.
