    An amazing visit to two family run vineyards. Stefano was our guide for the afternoon. He gave us lots of information about the Valpolicella region as he drove us. We stopped first at Farini where Sylvia guided us from the vines through to the bottling. Then we tasted 6 different red wines. All equally delicious. These were accompanied by copious amounts of meat and cheese. Next we visited Villa Borghetti where we were again shown their winery. During the tasting of 5 wines we were given meats, cheeses, polenta, chocolate and biscuits to accompany each different red. And all of this in a 16th century cellar. Highly recommend this trip. Worth every cent.

    An Absolutely Incredible Tour!

    We had such an amazing time on this tour, with our fantastic guide, Leo. He was genuinely enthusiastic about wine and this area in particular, and he was so well-informed about the history of the region, and about wine. His friendly, professional and engaging approach made the tour entertaining and informative throughout. The two wineries we visited were both beautiful and unique. We were given a delicious antipasti platter at each, along with our tastings, filled with amazing local cheese, meats, bread and other treats. We also had a fantastic pasta dish at our second stop. The wines themselves were very good, and we had a chance to sample a great array at each. The tour was well organized and superbly run. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in wine in the area!

    Great experience & great value for money!

    This tour was worth every penny we paid. Driven to and from Verona, to 2 different vineyards - with wine tastings and food at each one. Very informative guide and we learned so much about the wine-making process...and which wines suited our own tastes. Would highly recommend! If you're thinking of taking a tour - make sure you check if there's a Verona pick up point (like there was with this tour), otherwise - with the cheaper tours - you'll need to get yourself to the vineyards and back which could cost you more.
