Wonderful vineyard tour!! - Beautiful vineyards, friendly owners, delicious wines - don’t think twice about booking this tour. Davide at Eleva was definitely the highlight of the day. His mini masterclass was both fun and informative. If you love Amarone, or even if you don’t, you’ll be in wine heaven. I can’t wait for my case to arrive at home!!!

Really unique Amarone testing - My family and I had a great Amarone experience during the tour in September. We’ve tasted 19(!) wines in three wonderful wineries and had a unique opportunity to speak with their owners. Our tour guide Linda was awesome: very friendly, knowledgeable and took care of all aspects of our adventure. Great tour overall, well done!

The Perfect Wine Tour! - Absolutely worth it to have a full day of wineries, transportation and an incredible guide. Two of our three tastings were hosting by the owners, making the experience unique in hearing the origin and history of the wineries. Our lunch was one of the favorites of our whole vacation with tortellini that was to die for. The tour also combines all the wine orders into one shipment in order to save on cost and enjoy the bottles back home! The guide is extremely knowledgeable not only on wine, but the Verona area and history as well. Totally recommend!

Valpolicella and Amarone tour - Amazing experience! The 3 wineries were each a little different but all were equally excellent, clearly proud of their products and their family businesses. The winemakers were knowledgeable and interesting without being “too much” or too serious. I would give this experience 15/10 if possible!

Wine is life - Who could go wrong with tasting wines? The wines were delicious. We went to Franchini, Vigna 800, and Venturini. Franchini had a wonderful assortment of foods to accentuate their wines as we sipped. One of the owners talked us through their wines, which was an excellent idea. Vigna 800 had an interesting lunch for us and an open wine barrel tasting; which was given by one of the owners. At Venturini we tasted wines; our tour guide was the moderator for the wines.
