Best Tour Ever - My wife and I just finished the Romeo & Juliet Valpolicella Wine & Cheese tour with 3 other couples. Our tour guide was VIRIGINA and she was absolutely the best. She knew the history of the wines and their origin as well as the owners at the 3 wineries visited and worked in perfect harmony with them. Besides her knowledge she had a great sense of humor and helped the 8 of us have an unbelievable trip. The lunch served at one of the wineries was a truly memorable experience. There was no pressure to purchase anything but after tasting the wines you definitely purchased something and Virgina coordinated everything for your wines to be shipped home. We have done many tours on our travels but this ranks as one of the best and worth every penny.

Incredible itinerary! - It's been an amazing tour: it's always nice to find out about local products and gems of a zone, but our guides have done an incredible job to explain every speciality . Highly recommended!

Fun day outside the city - Decided to book this tour after going on the Valpolicella one, to do something different before leaving Verona: best decision ever! I usually do not enjoy cheese that much, but this trip made me change my mind completely! The cheese factory is located in a beautiful area between hills and mountains, that I would’ve never find on my own. Later we also visited another winery (that we didn’t go to in the other tour!) where we discovered the family’s secrets to make the best valpolicella wines.
