Small Group Half-Day Wine & Food Tour in Amarone

One of northern Italy's most beautiful cities, Verona, best known for its association with Shakespeare’s Juliet balcony, in addition to regional wine and cuisine and art heritage. If you are a connoisseur of good food and wine, you can book the Amarone wine and food tour. Accompanied by your guide, you will drive in a comfortable (air-conditioned) minibus through the delightful Veronese landscape. You are headed towards the Valpolicella Valley, which lies between hills and lush vineyards.

You will see the pretty villages scattered throughout the area and listen to narration about the wine and food traditions of the area. Your Amarone half-day tour will take you to a winery, where a sommelier will give you a tour of the cellars and explain the intricacies of wine production and storage.

Next on the agenda is a wine tasting session of various fine wines, including the local specialty, Amarone. This is a rich red wine with a very powerful taste and an alcohol percentage of up to 15-16 percent. You will also get the chance to explore the vineyards and cellars.

After this, the Amarone wine tour carries on to a second winery, where you will sample more wines along with a traditional lunch of local produce, including salumi, fettunta (bread drizzled with olive oil) and cheeses. Following the Amarone food tour, on the way back, you will have the opportunity to admire the eye-popping views of the Valpolicella valley, sprawling vineyards and little hamlets.
