A fantastic day in every way!! - We were on a full day in 3 valleys in the valpolicella area with visits to 3 different vineyards. What an amazing day it was! We happened to be alone in the group, when other registered did not show up, so it was a private tour. Perfect! So professionally arranged, lovely wines and snacks and we learned a lot. We can really recommend this and would gladly do it again.

3 Wonderful Wineries - Perfecto! - The three wineries that our guide, Laura, took us to were lovely. All family owned wineries and a family member explained their wine-making process and showed us their vineyards. The various Valpolicella regions were represented in the wineries we visited and our group was small (only 10 people). It was a great day and everything was perfecto!

WONDERFUL TOUR, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - I highly recommend the experience to any wine enthusiasts visiting the area.
The tour in the vineyards makes you understand how the winemaking processes take place.
The tour guide we had was awesome at explaining both the nature and meaning behind the different wines made in the area, gave a fantastic tour of the buildings and grounds along with history. We were then us to an amazing and generous tasting with tasty and sweet food to go with the 5 different wines we sampled.
Recommend to anyone in the area to book and pay for this experience and you will not regret it!!

Valpolicella done right - This tour is highly recommended for wine connoisseurs and newbies alike. I came into it knowing very little about Valpolicella wine and Sara, our expert tour guide, helped provide a wonderful experience. She included elements of the region’s history, topography and soil, information about the wine-making process, and her own personal and family experience. The Mercedes van was very comfortable and the winery owners were very gracious and hospitable and explained their processes and shared with us their family history on the land. Overall the tour was enjoyable.

Don’t book, cheaper & better options - This tour is overpriced, waste of money. The first winery ‘Franchini’ was fantastic, Marta was welcoming & knowledgeable, atmosphere wonderful.
Second winery ‘Vigneti’ was okay, Barbara rushed us through, the lunch was small, nothing special. No wine discussions.
Third winery was like a pit stop, cheap & ordinary. No atmosphere, straight into a noisy small room opposite a petrol station. Sara our host for the day, did her talk - underwhelming. Don’t book!
