Overview

An immersive wine and art experience in the unique Amarone Venetian Villa and Chateau built between the 1500 and 1700’s at the center of Valpolicella’s history. You will taste the award-winning wines of brothers Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani, whose family is among the founders of the wine region. Your guide will take you through the splendid neoclassical architecture, frescoed rooms, romantic gardens and the ancient vineyards of the Clos. The visit will continue on to the natural grape drying rooms, the original vinification area of the Amarone Classico Riserva, and down to the monumental ageing cellars with barrels that are over two hundred years old. Each tour will include a seated wine tasting.

Amazing Wine, Easy Travel

Michael_B, Aug 2025

Fantastic wine and a beautiful villa. For those traveling without a rental car, go to Piazza Brà and use a taxi to get to the villa. The vineyard staff is extremely helpful and will call a taxi to return you to the Plaza at the end of the tour. Fantastic experience all around; I cannot recommend it enough.

Beautiful property with great wine

This was a beautiful property with great wine! The guide, Greta, was also very knowledgeable and friendly. All around, this was a great experience & I highly recommend doing this tour!

An afternoon of Amarone discovery

Jessica_C, Dec 2024

It was a wonderful afternoon spent getting to know about the wine region especially the original story on how Amarone was discovered and made. Guide was very knowledgeable and wine tasting is generous too.

Great wine tasting!!

Janet_E, Oct 2024

Great wine tour with Zoe. She was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. There were 2 ladies that arrived 45 minutes late to the tour and were quite demanding. Zoe handled this situation with grace even though they were rude.

Amazing location & good wine

Alexander_H, Sep 2024

Deep knowledge transfer of the wine production process. Great wines! Amazing location! I would do this tour again!

Passionate and professional experience

Jamie_M, Aug 2024

Sara was a great tour guide and very informative! Great hospitality, I would love to come back for another tasting some day!

Excellent wine tour at a great price

Henri_K, Jul 2024

Wonderful estate, great wine and professional tour guide. The tour guide spoke perfect english and was really kind and helpful.

Drink the wine & enjoy.

Chris_V, Jun 2024

It was a great tour and very beautiful grounds. Very easy to get to by bus or driving. The guide Magdalena was extremely knowledgeable. The family still operates this winery according to the guide. Its only about 30 minutes from the city center and the area opens up to beautiful wine country. Go for the tour drink the excellent wine and make a day of the area. The landscape is breath taking. Enjoy!

Worth a visit

Melissa_K, Oct 2023

Rebecca was a wonderful guide/host. The wines were varied and very enjoyable and the estate is beautiful.

Very disappointed!

Fiorella D, Sep 2019

We wanted to surprise our friends to do a Bertani winery tour. First of all The Bertani winery was sold to a pharmaceutical company years ago, we found out after the fact. We requested an English tour the young inexperienced girl spoke very poor English she brought us to see the vineyards and inside of the villa where they were putting up a wedding venue. The barrel basement room which hasn’t been used in years is more of a museum and it smelled so musty. She took us to the wine tasting room and someone else took over to explain the wines in fluent italian, speaking so fast that I being of Iitalian heritage couldn’t catch on. It is definitely not a Bertani wine tour. This tour is highly misrepresented, the Bertani label and production was sold, the villa was kept by one of the brothers who is producing his own wine not Bertani wines and using this Villa to host events such as weddings.

This was a great trip! it is the most beautiful setting, the tour was interesting and it was lovely to meet the others from Germany, Sweden and New Zealand. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and chatting to our new friends! We bought a bottle of their delicious Amerone which we haven't enjoyed yet but it made it back to the uk in one piece tucked away in the suitcase!!!

Iris S, Nov 2017

One of my favorite wine tours I've taken. A very easy taxi ride from Verona and the Villa will call you a taxi to come pick you up once it is done. I especially liked this tour because it wasn't about the making of wines but rather the history of the villa and the winemakers. It is family full of drama, love, lust, and everything else you feel would go into the passion of making wines. What a great experience and very happy we signed up for this opportunity. Also, the wine was delicious!

Very friendly and informative guide...

The tour was fantastic!!! All the family enjoyed so very much. The people very professional and with a great knowledge of the wines and history of the Bertani family. Also we had the pleasure to meet Mr. Bertani himself. Congratulations! Great job!

Fortunato D, Jun 2016

Complete waste of time. Very little of what was promised in your publicity material was actually delivered by the owners who seemed to have little notion of what we had signed up to and treated us as an inconvenient nuisance and distraction to the main activity of organising functions

Super hotel

Henrik_L, Aug 2023

Dejlig hotel og virkelig fine værgelse søde værter Rigtig dejlig morgenmad Ligger godt i forhold til byen

Lo raccomando

Antonio_I, Jul 2022

Ottimi vini con descrizione dettagliata e supportata da immagini su schermo. Bellissima location con visita della villa antica, delle cantine e parco. Guide molto preparate e con ottimo inglese (qualcuno anche di madrelingua).

Molto consigliata

Marco_S, Apr 2022

La villa e i giardini molto belli da visitare, interessanti da vedere gli strumenti e le botti che venivano usati anticamente per fare il vino, assaggi di vino con spiegazione fatta in maniera chiara e professionale

Weinverkostung

Claudia_S, Jul 2019

Die Führung durch die Villa Mosconi war sehr interessant und aufschlussreich. Auch die anschließende Weinverkostung hat uns gut gefallen. Allerdings hatten wir extra eine deutsche Führung gebucht, die jedoch auf englisch stattfand.
