Unique experience - Private tour of the museum and wine cellar. The small scale makes it a special experience. Guided tour is personal and adapted to your knowledge. There is plenty of room for asking questions and joking. All friendly staff. They all like to have a chat. We even got to taste an extra wine. Very personal. A unique experience we would not have missed in Verona. We will definitely be back here when we are around!

Montresor Wine Tour - Experience at Montresor Winery 21st July was well worth the visit, with a bus stop nearby. Leonardo made the afternoon very interesting and took time to explain when the winery started up until the present day. We didn't feel rushed during the tasting session and Leonardo certainly gave us the understanding of how the select wines are made. At the end of the tasting session we had some snacks to enjoy.

Loved it! - It was an amazing experience as a whole. Didn’t catch our guides name but she had long brown hair and glasses and was amazing and really friendly. Talked through everything really well and also gave us advice on the local area, as well as restaurant recommendations. The wine was amazing and also got some bread and cheese. Would 100% recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic - We had a fantastic time on the Amerone tasting, a great tour followed by tasting of the most incredible wines. We can’t wait to open the bottles we purchased which all made it home safely packed in our suitcase, thank you again for such a lovely day! Montresor Amerone is our favourite wine and was such a privilege to be able to visit this fabulous winery.
