This is the benchmark Valpolicella experience — intimate, unhurried, and genuinely educational. You will leave understanding not just what Amarone tastes like, but why it tastes that way.

Dine on a working estate as the Valpolicella hills turn amber in the late light. A seasonal menu built around local ingredients, paired course by course with wines from the property's own cellar. The kind of evening that takes on a disproportionate significance in memory.

Once a year, the fruttai — the drying lofts — fill with thousands of Corvina clusters. The entire region slows to the rhythm of the drying grape. Come in October, visit an estate mid-appassimento, and taste a Valpolicella alongside the grapes destined to become next year's Amarone. This tour runs for approximately six weeks and books out fast.

A table for two or four at a family estate. The winemaker cooks, pours, and tells stories across a long and unhurried afternoon in the hills. The most intimate Valpolicella experience available — and the one most likely to ruin you for ordinary wine tourism forever. Available year-round, subject to estate availability.
Check Availability on ViatorAppassimento season tours sell out months in advance. If you want to visit in October, book as soon as your dates are confirmed.
Group tours are better value and more social. Private tours give you full access to the winemaker's time and allow custom routing through the cellars.
Cellars are cool year-round — bring a light layer even in summer. Cobblestone and vineyard paths mean flat shoes are a genuine practical advantage.
Most estates are not reachable on foot from Verona. If you plan to drive yourself, designate a driver. Guided tours include transport from central Verona.
