Why we chose this tour

Valpolicella means "The Valley of Many Cellars", and the name couldn't be more apt. It's an area snugly fit between the Alps to the north and sloping valleys to the south, offering a sheltered micro-climate that allows local vineyards to grow singular grapes. You'll walk through a local vineyard that has perfected the art of traditional wine production, following them from the vines themselves to the cellars. Learn about how wind-drying grapes, double processing skins, and the rich alluvial soil all combine to make Valpolicella one of the best wine-making regions in the world. Once you've learned how vintners in this singular region produce such diverse wines, a sommelier will talk you through the particulars of each tasting - savoring the piquancy and sweetness of the different wines for yourself.
