“The patio in which we drank wine was noisy due to hotel guest noise nect to us. Speaker shoud have microphone and speaker so we can hear about the wines. Also trim the bushes so we ca enjoy the beautiful view. We had many half naked people coming from the pool thru our prrsentation, guide them another way. The guide(Elizabeth) was very knowledgeable and you could tell she had a passion for wine...but she could have poured a little more freely”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 217 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $34Best value

Visit Montresor Winery just outside Verona for a 90-minute guided museum and cellar tour. Learn how Valpolicella, Ripasso, and Amarone are made, test your nose in the aroma room, then taste red wines or Lake Garda whites with a sommelier. Guides such as Emma, Leonardo, and Silvia have led engaging visits, though access is easiest by taxi or car.

“We have just come back from an absolutely wonderful visit at the Montredor winery. We were hosted by Emma and Leonardo who were both really knowledgeable and engaging throughout. Emma was great, explaining the origins of the vineyard and wines and gave us a really entertaining quiz, challenging us all to identify various aromas, synonymous with the wines. Leonardo then led the visit to the cellers and the wine tasting. The wines were absolutely beautiful and Leonardo's descriptions and explanations were both evocative and poetic. It was an absolute pleasure throughout and both guides represented the winery with passion and enthusiasm. An absolute must for anyone visiting Verona!”
