Great experience
We were very pleased with our experience at Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde. They arranged a pick up and return to the train station for this tour and it was truly appreciated. Just sitting on the outdoor terrace, enjoying the views, tasting the oils, wine, and delicious food was a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to visit us. We're delighted that you enjoyed the Discover DOP Olive Oil experience, from the transfer service to the tasting on our panoramic terrace. Sharing our extra virgin olive oil, wines, local flavours and the peaceful beauty of Valpolicella with our guests is always a pleasure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again for another authentic experience in the future.

10/10
Myself and my partner had the most perfect late morning tour of the vineyard followed by carefully selected pairings of wine, cheese, meats and jams. The scenery was incredible, the venue itself was spacious, clean and well decorated. The highlight of the visit for us though was spending time with Claudia who was very friendly, informative and accommodating. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Verona/the surrounding areas, a very enjoyable few hours in a tranquil setting.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you and your partner had such an enjoyable experience with us. It's a pleasure to know you appreciated the beauty of the vineyard, the peaceful atmosphere, and the selection of local pairings. Your special mention of Claudia will make her very happy—she is passionate about sharing the history and flavors of our estate with every guest. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience in the heart of Valpolicella!

Valpolicella at its finest
Verona was in a travel meltdown - literally as the temperatures were in the high 30s and there were no trains from Verona to Valpolicella! Thankfully the hosts offered to organise separate transport for us which meant we were able to attend the tasting at the house. Claudia our host was just brilliant - she showed us around the vineyards and the cellars and shared a very generous platter and array of olive oils first, followed by some very fine Valpolicella made by the house Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde. And that view too - what a delightful way to spend a half day in Valpolicella 🧀🍷
Response from the operator: Dear Debra, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are truly delighted that, despite the unexpected travel difficulties, your visit turned into such a memorable experience. It means a lot to hear that Claudia made you feel so welcome and that you enjoyed discovering our vineyards, cellars, olive oils and Valpolicella wines. Sharing the history and passion of our family is what we love most. We are especially happy that the panoramic view became part of such a special day for you. We hope to welcome you back to Valpolicella soon for another relaxing experience—perhaps in a different season, when the vineyards reveal a completely new atmosphere. Warm regards, The Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde Family

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover DOP Olive Oil: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Discover DOP Olive Oil cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 Discover DOP Olive Oil take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Discover DOP Olive Oil worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 63 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 Discover DOP Olive Oil?
+
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 Discover DOP Olive Oil suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover DOP Olive Oil?
+
Around 22 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover DOP Olive Oil start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Verona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Verona?
+
On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. 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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Anna bread and chutney; Meet the locals at this 5-generation family run winery; and Tasting of a Selection of the best Italian DOP Extra Virgin OLIVE OIL.

+
