In the AM, your own private chauffeured Mercedes will collect you from your Verona hotel and sweep you away to the lovely Valpolicella wine country.
First stop is to a top wine producer such as Allegrini in Fumane di Valpolicella. Enjoy a VIP visit and tasting of their superb wines such as the cult La Poja wine.
Lunch will follow and is an authentic and charming affair, with typical dishes such as “Sformatino di formaggio Monte Veronese con funghi e speck
d'anatra” (Cheese savory custard with mushrooms and cured duck), Risotto all'Amarone, Brasato di manzo all' Amarone con polenta (beef slow cooked in wine, served over polenta), all paired with Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Amarone of course and Recioto della Valpolicella. Stunning regional cuisine and you won´t be hungry for dinner tonight!
After lunch visit a boutique estate such as Villa Monteleone in Gargagnago, also famous for being the home of Dante Alighieri, Italy's most famous poet and playwright. The property houses a small winery, with a charming garden and pretty tasting room in the house. In this very cozy atmosphere, you´ll taste signature wines like the Valpolicella Classico, Valpolicella Classico Superiore, Amarone, Recioto, Amarone “Riserva” all served with some local cheeses. On the way back to Verona, depending on your interests, we can arrange a nice place to stop off and take in a walk, get some photos, etc.
After visit head back to Verona, hope you had a marvelous day.

Customer Feedback:
“The tour was very well organized and went off without any problems. It was very smooth and professional. Both wineries were beautiful and interesting, and different. I'm glad we only did two and had a driver - the amount of wine given was quite generous and it would have been hard to drink much more wine! Would recommend this tour.”
