Giovanni was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He was exceptionally kind and conveyed his passion for his family business in such a genuine and heartfelt way. The wine was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was truly unforgettable.

Highly recommended! As part of our visit to Verona, we took a trip out to the Valpolicella Vineyards. The tour was engaging and informative, with providers who were welcoming and extremely friendly. The setting was beautiful, the wine exquisite and the food moorish! The only downside was Viator in its App error not explaining how to get to the vineyard. It had a ‘meeting point’ link to google maps, which directed us to a location that had nothing to do with the excursion. Thankfully the providers were still able to accommodate us despite a late arrival and costly journey for us. Full marks to the Vineyard tour. 2/10 for Viator and it’s App for causing confusion, stress and ‘emergency’ high travel costs.

Had a bit of difficulty with booked transport so visit was moved back a day. The visit was interesting and we learned a lot about Valpolicella. The actual tasting involved two large glasses of dinner wines and a small glass of “pudding” wine, all accompanied by a selection of meats and cheeses. Overall it was fine but we have had better experiences in Tuscany.

I loved this tour!!!! The scenery was unbelievably beautiful but the hospitality of the staff and owner was amazing. The wines and cheeses were delicious. Claudia, our guide was fantastic . It was the highlight of my stay in verona. Value for money fantastic

I did not expect to take public transport - alone - the end point of the bus trip (j took a taxi) was not the right stop. Luckily a local told me where to go - and another local helped me call the host! I wanted to return but persisted. The host came and got me after many calls to Viator!!!!! No answer!!!! The experience there was nice. I was not part of any tour - it was advertised as one??? Luckily for me a couple there drove me back to Verona otherwise I don’t know how I would have got back!!! Stuck out there, alone on a Sunday in an organised tour - very strange. It should be explained better . I had no idea I was doing a paid tour with no transport!!! Monika johnstone

We haven’t stopped talking about it! It was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on holiday. A family-run business with heart at its core, everything about this place felt warm and welcoming. The team was incredibly friendly, the setting was stunning, and the food paired with the wine tasting was simply unforgettable, everything you’d hope for (and more) in Italy. We loved the wine so much that we had a few bottles shipped home for my dad’s 60th birthday, and they were enjoyed and appreciated just as much as when we first tasted them there. This was an experience filled with authenticity, passion, and unforgettable moments! Thank you

Exceptional experience. Claudia made everything run smoothly. We had booked another activity that overlapped slightly with the wine tasting. Claudia made sure we got a chance to sample everything. Very accommodating.

Excellent tour, amusing and informative guide, nice wines (Amarone and Ripasso) and lunch (pasta Bolognese and wild boar) was very good.

Lovely experience! Idyllic location with a beautiful vista. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere- a very authentic setting and experience… Rachael and Claudia were superb hosts. The wine , cheese and salami were all very good. The highlight was the mostarda cherries! To top all this off we met 4 very cute Italian Truffle Hound puppies, and Albertino the family dog 🐾.. we would all recommend this tour.
