This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Stephano, was so knowledgeable, kind, fun. His love for his job and for wine shines through! The wineries we saw were small and it made for a beautifully private and intimate tasting that made you feel like you were truly getting to see the process and passion behind the wines. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

Alessandra made our wine tasting in Verona absolutely perfect. She's incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about Italian wines. We visited beautiful, family-run vineyards away from the tourist crowds. The wines were excellent, and she explained everything in a fun, easy-to-understand way. Transportation was seamless, and the whole experience felt personal and relaxed. Highly recommend booking with her through

Jennifer_D, Apr 2026
Very informative, great guide and the wineries visited were excellent. We saw a contrast of different styles of wine making and tried some excellent wine
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback, Jennifer! We’re happy you enjoyed discovering different winemaking styles and tasting such excellent wines. Experiencing that contrast between wineries is what makes this tour so special 🍇
NORMA_D, Apr 2026
The tour guide is knowledgeable, polite, funny & respectful of the country, regions, vineyards & wine itself. The vineyards were nearby so we didn’t drive for most of the time.
We were the only 2 so it was essentially a private tour; he had to “keep us company” during the tastings because there was no one else in the group for us to converse with. That’s more work for him.
In any case, we coukd not have asked for more. He even dropped us off at the train station; saved is a walk.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed such a personal experience. Having a very small group really allows for a relaxed pace and meaningful conversations. It’s wonderful to hear the day felt smooth and comfortable.

This was a super convenient way to visit a couple of wineries in Valpollicella without having to drive ourselves. Both wineries provided very good wine and light food, and provided interesting information about how the wine was produced. Our driver was great and provided a list of recommended restaurants in Verona to our group.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Excellent tour with Stefano. Knowledgeable, personal service.
Great choices of winery. Managed to visit two different style of winery.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you appreciated the personal approach and the selection of two different winery styles. Experiencing diverse realities of the Amarone region truly makes the tour special.
Kathryn_B, Dec 2025
We had a great experience! You could tell our guide and the wineries we visited were very passionate about their wine and region! We loved the natural methods the wineries use in their vineyards and we could really taste the difference. And even though our tour was later in the day and right before Christmas, we weren’t rushed but instead encouraged to take our time and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Would recommend this tour to anyone who is wanting to visit authentic wineries of the Valpolicella wine region.
Pam_M, Dec 2025
This is a super tour o visit two very different wine makers. Both produce outstanding wine and are really very different. The welcome and warmth received from Sophie at the first vineyard was more than I would have expected from a short visit, what a warm welcome, your passion is clear in your excellent wines. The second a large Vineyard, was also welcoming, more business like but very much appreciated nonetheless.
Stefano our guide and driver for the afternoon was punctual, pleasant and informative and a superb driver as well.
I recommend this tour, Stefano is a knowledgeable friendly guide and Nicholis winery was a lovely treat.
Barbra at Borghetti wines is a truly inspirational lady.
This is a lovely excursion and highly recommended
LeeAnn_P, Nov 2025
Our tour guide was Stephano on the Valpolicello Amarone tour...he was very knowledgeable polite and accommodating..took us to 2 wineries where the sights sounds tastes and the people that ran their businesses were everything you could hope for..Perfect!
Benedict_L, Nov 2025
Very comfortable ride, the guide was very knowledgeable in wines and the wineries we went to were small businesses and were extremely friendly, definitely recommended
Jennifer_A, Nov 2025
Alessandra brought us to two small family owned wineries. On the way she gave us some facts about the area and the wine. We were able to see the process of wine making and taste many local wines and enjoyed some snacks. But the best part was the passion that was evident at each winery. They take great pride in their wines. After the tastings Alessandra was kind enough to give us a recommendation for dinner which also turned out to be great. I would highly recommend this tour.
Corinne_T, Nov 2025
This was an amazing experience. Allesandra and the wineries were wonderful. It was great to learn about the wine production and to taste the different wines.
Seth_S, Oct 2025
Perfect tour for an afternoon learning about the favorite wines in this region. Scenic and informative.
Larry_T, Oct 2025
Excellent small group tour, highly recommend, guide was knowledgeable, wineries were excellent, Wished we lived here so we could come back!
Emily_B, Oct 2025
This experience was amazing!! It was small group, our guide was personable and knowledgeable, and the ride felt safe and comfortable. The two wineries were perfect compliments to each other, with the first focusing on the production of the wine and a tasting with a gorgeous view of the countryside, and the second winery we were out in the field a bit with the tasting in a beautiful wine cellar.
I would, without a doubt, do this tour again and recommend it to family/friends.
Carolyn_D, Oct 2025
Wonderful intimate experience, longer than anticipated 4-5 hours vs 2 hours we had thought when book
Anne_B, Sept 2025
This wine tasting tour was fantastic! We visited two small wineries and had tours with our guide and by a staff or owner of each winery. Our tour guide provided interesting history of the area and each winery, and the winery personnel shared personal stories and more in-depth history of their own winery. We appreciate that the wineries were small and we were the only group there. It was a very personal experience. I highly recommend this activity!
Mary_R, Sept 2025

it was very entertaining and fun. Learned a lot and tasted a lot of wines, Would do it again for sure
Sally_D, Sept 2025
Excellent tour of two wineries and a quick stop in a vineyard prior to the first visit. Guide helped us understand the two main growing methods and a bit about the three types of grapes before we arrived at the first winery. The two wineries had fantastic wine. We shipped 6 bottles back to the US. Definitely worth the price!!!
Alain_J, Sept 2025
4 hours to visit 2 wineries is plenty of time, did not feel rushed, learned a lot. Loved our experience.
