It was a really fun... - It was a really fun experience. They tell you the history of Montresor as you go through a museum and at the end you get to try some of their wines. Would definitely recommend.

Pleasant tour recommended! - The visit begins with a tour of the museum, history of the Montresor family and the winery. Fun little experiential break and visit to the production. Silvia was welcoming and made the visit enjoyable even for non-experts. Tasting of 5 Valpolicella and Amarone wines accompanied by a cheese platter. Everything perfect, highly recommended!

Winery experience close to Verona City center - A very good opportunity to know more about Valpolicella wines so close to the City of Verona. We enjoyed the visit, all the explanation we received and the tasting of different wines. Really good.

Great wine tour - We booked for 10 am English tour and we had a great welcome by all the staffs. They were expecting other people but they didn't come, so we had a private tour with Emmanuel. His English was great and clear, and he answered all our questions. He let us see the room where they dry the grapes. The wine tasting comes with some cheese and bread. We tried some Valpolicello and Amarolla. They were very good wines. We recommend it, if you like wine.

Journey through flavours - This experience was enlightening. The very professional and informed guide told the story of the Montresor family in a fascinating and engaging way. The visit was interactive and ended with a tasting of five Venetian wines, accompanied by some local cheeses, cold cuts, oil and balsamic vinegar. The professional explanation allowed us to enter even more into this fascinating world we are recently entering... Thank you! Truly recommended to everyone!

Great wine experience close to Verona - Fantastic tour! We went down to the lower level and saw the wood and steel tanks, walls of wine racks, and a great display on how Amarone wine is made and how it is so different. We also were given a great overview of the different wine regions in the area. We then had a fantastic tasting of 5 different wines in the large and modern tasting room. The store/showroom is beautiful and we of course bought some wine! This winery is a short cab ride from Piazza Bra in Verona off a busy 2-lane road. You won't see grapes - this is the "factory" if you will, but you get to see where the wine is made and taste the wines.

A moment in heaven - OMG! I thought I loved their wine before. The passion, engagement and energy from the staff is intoxicating, almost more than the wine. When we arrived, there was an event taking place and they could not start our experience on time. Did we wait outside until they were ready? NO! Coffee, Prosecco, wine, dolce and casual conversation were offered while we waited. Then when the tour begun we were very well taken charge of by Emanuel. Then with the wine tasting at the end we were provided some of the best cheese and salami I ever tasted. If you get the chance, DO reserve a tour and tasting. You won’t regret it!
