Wineries on Lake Garda offer tastings overlooking the water with Lugana and Chiaretto, while the wineries in Valpolicella welcome you with the rich flavours of Amarone.
To discover what to see in Valpolicella, explore abbeys and orderly vineyards, or choose the wineries of Soave, where Garganega tells a story of fresh wines and ancient traditions.
Along the glacial moraines that slope gently toward the water, the wineries of Lake Garda welcome guests on elegant terraces with lake views.
In the Lugana DOC, between Sirmione and Peschiera, the Turbiana whites stand out for their crisp minerality and citrus notes; farther east, between Bardolino and Garda, the sandy soils produce light reds and rosé Chiaretto, best served chilled.
Arrive at sunset, when the golden light amplifies aromas and colours: it’s the moment when the sun’s reflection on the lake makes every tasting a truly unforgettable experience.
North of Verona, the hills of Valpolicella guard the age-old art of Amarone.
In the historic drying rooms, Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes shrivel until February, concentrating aromas and sugars before long oak ageing.
A winter visit lets you observe this ritual and taste the entire family of local wines: from the fragrant Valpolicella Classico, to the more structured Ripasso, to the various vintages of Amarone, sumptuous and velvety.
Each glass tells the passion of generations of vintners and transforms a pause into a toast to Veronese tradition.
Nestled at the foot of Soave’s Castle, volcanic terraces host Garganega, the foundation of Soave Classico.
Soave wineries in Verona, often modern inside yet historic outside, offer tastings that range from fresh, floral expressions to the most mineral cru.
Climbing onto the ancient walls with your glass in hand means embracing the vine-lined slopes below and closing the experience in perfect harmony of history, landscape and taste.
