Amarone & Soave Wine Tour with Italy Tours and More | Guided Tour | Food Tour

Set against the rolling hills and historic heart of Verona, Italy Tours and More offers an immersive eight-hour journey through the renowned wine regions of Valpolicella and Soave. Departing from Venice, this private tour pairs remarkable wines with authentic local culture, delivering a day that blends sensory delight and cultural immersion in northern Italy’s Veneto region.

The experience begins with a guided walk through Verona’s storied streets, a city known for its Roman arena and Shakespearean romance, providing a vivid backdrop that primes the palate. Then the tour moves into the lush vineyards of Valpolicella, where a family-run winery opens its cellars to reveal the complex heritage behind world-famous wines like Amarone, Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso, and Recioto. Here, expert sommeliers lead tastings that break down the distinctive production methods, from grape drying to fermentation, allowing guests to taste the full spectrum of flavors and aromas unique to the region.

Lunch complements the tasting with a curated selection of salami, cheeses, and freshly baked pizza, creating an ideal harmony of food and wine. The afternoon transfers guests to the medieval town of Soave. Set amid limestone cliffs and historic architecture, Soave’s renowned whites offer a crisp, fresh contrast to the rich reds of Valpolicella.
