Join us for a memorable excursion at our familial vineyard with the wine cultivator!

We are a unique boutique winery nestled in the center of Valpolicella, conducting activities to convey our love for Valpolicella and Amarone wines to our visitors (we provide it personally, without the intervention of third-party brokers or tour guides).

We’ll kick off by strolling through the vineyard, sharing the ancestral narrative of the winery and the estates. You’ll understand how to dry Amarone grapes in a traditional drying room, in a method known as Appassimento. We’ll explore our farmhouse and the 17th-century cellar used for wine fermentation and maturation. The finale will include a tasting session of a range of our exquisite wines such as Valpolicella, RIPASSO, and the exquisite AMARONE, learning to critique them visually, olfactorily, and gustatorily.

You’ll also relish our organic EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, local cheese known as Monte Veronese, and Soppressa Valpolicella (a variant of salami).

Looking forward to welcoming you on our breathtaking terrace overlooking Valpolicella!
