VENETO WINE TOURS
A Luxury Journey Through Veneto’s Vineyards, Cuisine, and History
VALPOLICELLA, AMARONE, SOAVE, PROSECCO, AND LA DOLCE VITA
The Veneto region is home to the famous wines of Prosecco, Soave and Valpolicella, including the richest and most intense of all Italian wines, Amarone. It is also home to some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe – such as Lake Garda – and an unrivalled patrimony of historic medieval towns and villages.
With captivating Venice as your point of departure and the beautifully bucolic Valpolicella hills as your base, we have carefully curated a five-day journey to experience the very best of this captivating corner of Italy.
Accompanied by your Master of Wine host, you will visit some of the leading producers of the region, before finishing in the glorious hillside vineyards outside of Valdobbiadene, Prosecco.
Along the way, you will also discover the romantic and historic city of Verona, magnificent villas, castles, fortified towns, and partake on a private boat tour on Lake Garda. In true Italian fashion, food is an integral part of life here, and we will dine at not one but two Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as enjoy traditional fare alongside locals in more relaxed settings.
Veneto is an exceptional choice for a luxury tour showcasing fine wines and outstanding Italian cuisine, set against a backdrop of beautifully preserved medieval heritage and striking natural landscapes.
This is a trip for lovers of wine and lovers of all the good things in life.
La Dolce Vita!
You will be part of an intimate group of maximum 20 guests.
I invite you to join us.
