Delight in an integrated wine and art affair in the distinct Amarone Venetian Villa and Chateau, established between the 1500 and 1700’s. This is the very heart of Valpolicella’s history.

Your tour leader will escort you through the grand neoclassical buildings, rooms adorned with frescoes, enchanting gardens and the timeless vineyards of the Clos. Following that, the tour takes you into the natural wine drying spaces, the original production area for the Amarone Classico Riserva, and into the imposing ageing cellars housing barrels that are over two centuries old. Every tour encapsulates a sit-down wine tasting.

Drink the wine & enjoy. - It was a great tour and very beautiful grounds. Very easy to get to by bus or driving. The guide Magdalena was extremely knowledgeable. The family still operates this winery according to the guide. Its only about 30 minutes from the city center and the area opens up to beautiful wine country. Go for the tour drink the excellent wine and make a day of the area. The landscape is breath taking. Enjoy!

Wine tasting in a beautiful villa - Nice, quite standard wine tasting, including tour in the cellar and tasting (Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone). Easy access from Verona also by bus.

Nice chateau with nice wines - It's a beautiful chateau. The run-in was a little tricky. The tickets booked through the tour ticket. You can therefore easily adjust the number of tickets (31 euros) but that was not possible via the app. Called the castle and it was no problem and she had already adapted it for me (2 less). Unfortunately on arrival it was again no problem but I had to reclaim the 62 euros myself via the my ticket. They didn't say that on the phone. After an hour of chatting up and down, there is now a commitment that the money will be refunded, but the money is not yet in. The tour could have been a little longer. We didn't see the new wine barrels. Only the very old ones that are no longer used. Also not been to the vineyard itself. That's a shame. The explanation about the wines was in a nice cool location with great explanation and PowerPoint. The wines were fine but certainly not cheap. With a few small adjustments, they can improve it. I wouldn't go back now for 31 euros.

Very disappointing tour - I apologize because I was a noisy group..:...we arrived a little late...the tour had already started...there was a girl explaining, but we couldn't understand anything.. In the tasting room we were poured a wine and explained the next one..., lots of smoke and nothing concrete... Don't go there, it's a waste of money

Very bad experience. - The incorrectness should be noted: we arrived late, but no one pointed it out to us! They managed to grab the sum of a group of almost thirty people. The amount paid by each of us included the visit to the Villa and the tasting… Instead they served us the wines and told us we had ten minutes to drink. Then they rudely invited us to go out if we didn't intend to buy!
