An outstanding day trip outside of Venice - 10/10. Our tour guide Riccardo was friendly knowledgeable and really took care of us. The hosts at Tessari and Gamba vineyards were welcoming with generous pours and charcuterie spreads. The break for tour in Verona was concise but hit the highlights of the quaint romantic town. I will be recommending Riccardo to any one visiting Venice looking for an amazing day trip outside of the area to Soave, Valpolicello and Prosecco.

Wonderful Day! - We were treated to a wonderful experience by our guide Ricardo. We first visited a lovely Soave winery. It is family run and they were all delightful. The wine was delicious. We then headed to Verona. What a beautiful city. Ricardo gave us an excellent walking tour of the city and provided so much interesting history. We then headed to another beautiful vineyard that produces red wine. It was a spectacular setting in the hills surrounded by beautiful scenery. Wines were delicious and they graciously made arrangements to ship to our wine home . I can’t say enough good things about the private tour provided by Ricardo.

Tour Verona and wineries with a Sommelier - Pick up from Venice was simple and direct. Ricardo our tour guide was knowledgeable and want us to have a great experience, which we did. We visited two family-owned wineries and received plenty cheeses, salami and bread at each. Ricardo allowed us to be flexible with our tour which was nice but we also wanted to see Verona which was impressive. Well worth the price of this tour!

Awesome wine tour with Riccardo! - This was exactly what I was hunting for. I am a big red wine fan and it was not easy to find someone doing tours of Amarone vineyards leaving out of Venice. Riccardo is extremely knowledgeable, incredibly kind and a great driver which is important because you are spending 3+ hours in a car with someone you have never met before. The vineyards were wonderfully selected and family owned and operated so you get a relaxed experience with time and a lot of focus. I highly recommend touring with Riccardo!

Had a great day out with... - Had a great day out with Riccardo. We didn’t realize that this was a private tour when we booked it. Visited two very unique wineries. Both were very small and family owned. A great experience at both. Riccardo then spent the time walking us around Verona sharing the history with us. This is a definite must do tour.

Amazing service! - Ricardo was amazing and went over and above to ensure we were comfortable every step of the way. He had clearly researched each stop and was open to adjusting the tour to fit our needs. He quickly learned our wine tastes and advised the wineries accordingly, providing top notch service. Would highly recommended

Brilliant wine tour - Ricardo was a great guide. He had amazing wine knowledge and was very friendly, we went to two fantastic wineries which were family owned. Both of the guides we had at the wineries, Taylor and Sonia spoke amazing English so conversations were easy and they were both very knowledgeable. Nice snacks at both. We also stopped at Verona which was great to see - a nice city with some lovely spots for a drink. Would definitely recommend this tour, the only thing to be aware of is that the driving time is quite long on the return journey but it was worth it to see more of Italy.

Great day tour for a small group with private driver/tour guide - This was a good day tour of the area and wine regions. The wineries visited were excellent. Plenty of tastings to be had. The hosts were very friendly and there was some small nibbles provided at both wineries. The Verona tour felt somewhat rushed due to a street race going on that day and that took some time away from our guide. There was also a delay at one of the wineries. Both of those occurrences shortened our available time in the center of town and our guide, Riccardo, was keeping us at a quick pace. This was to keep on schedule with the second winery. Whilst we, and the other couple on this tour with us, appreciate the effort in keeping on schedule, it was difficult to truly appreciate our time in Verona. It was an unfortunate couple of circumstances, however, we still appreciated the effort Riccardo put into fitting everything in. I would recommend this tour. Riccardo was quite knowledgeable about the surroundings, the wineries and Verona. In the end, a good time was had by all.
