Very disappointing.......nobody there when we arrived at winery.
My husband and I were really looking forward to this tour. Received confirmation the day before, travelled by bus and taxi to winery and to our surprise nobody was there conducting a tour. In fact it took us about 20 minutes to hunt someone down at the winery. Apparently, they lost power in the morning but why we weren't notified was never explained. The 3 people we finally found at the winery were extremely gracious and helpful in getting us transport back to Verona. We had a slight language communication problem which we all worked hard to figure out. While waiting for our return taxi they poured us 2 glasses of wine and gifted us a bottle of one of their wines. Tripadvisor is refunding the cost of the tour, but we are hoping for an additional reimbursement for our travel expenses. I do not hold the winery responsible for this. The winery - Franchini - went out of their way to help us find our way back to Verona.

Highlight of our trip
Lovely experience! The wine was outstanding. The tasting was on a beautiful property with the kindest hosts. They even recommended a local restaurant and ordered us a taxi. We had a case sent home. And it was truly a highlight of our trip.

A gem of a vineyard in the Valpolicella region close to Verona
This was an unforgettable experience led by Marta, who explained how the Valpoicella, Amarone and a unique blend are produced at Franchini vineyards. We would highly recommend this tour. Marta was kind, interesting and thorough in her explanations.

6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Verona is not rushed.
Is 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Verona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Wine Tasting in Valpolicella Classica: the cradle of Amarone start and how do I get there?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Verona?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Verona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
