Poor value for money
This trip was more wine sampling than tasting. On arrival we were taken down to the cellar, given a brief talk about the wine production which couldn’t hear much of. Was expecting a proper tour round the cellar but then we were taken back upstairs for the “tasting”. We had 3 wines, a rosé and 2 reds with of course the option to buy at the end. The tasting was poorly led, we have done wine tastings before but there was no guidance on sniffing, swirling, or sipping, nothing about the tasting notes, how it’s made, what it goes best with etc and they also just poured all 3 wines into the same glass after each other. Lunch was nice, we had a pasta dish and then veal with polenta and coffee, wine and water was included. It was not made clear that the coach will drop you off at the top of road and you will then need to walk down (and then back up) a fairly steep dusty and rocky path to the restaurant. On the drive to the church, the guide said she had been in contact with the town office who said the church may not be open! When we got to the church, we had another steep walk up to the church which again wasn’t mentioned. The church was ok but nothing remarkable (we had seen more impressive churches on our travels round Lake Garda) and not worth the walk up in 36°C heat. Also randomly the lights would only come on if you put money in the box! Coach was uncomfortable, made worse by the fact the air conditioning had clearly been turned off on the way back and it was unbearably hot at the back where we were sat. Was not impressed the guide started joking about it being hot - when we got off the coach it was actually cooled outside than on the coach. There was an older gentleman at the back with us who was struggling and did not look well, we told the guide this as we got off at our stop but she didn’t seem that bothered with what we were saying. Wouldn’t recommend.

Great value for money day out.
Enjoyable day, fantastic views, wine tasting was great and meal was too! On the bus for quite a long time but that can’t be helped, travelled from Malcesine. Difficult to hear the tour guide when on the bus, which was a shame.
via Viator
Brilliant experience
The trip was really nice and the farm food was fantastic..got a couple of bottles of red to take home. Well worth the price.
via Viator
Long long long bus ride
The 3 hour bus ride to and from the vineyard each way makes it hard to be objective about the vineyard experience itself There should have been more information about the length of the bus ride and the small seats on the bus I thought there was a vineyard at every town listed, there was only one vineyard. I could have made my way by ferry to the last onboarding location and saved hours which would have made the experience much more enjoyable
via Viator
Not worth the time to get there.
This trip was a little disappointing. Fortunately for us we were the last pick up and first drop off, but some people had a whole day travelling. The guide was great, funny, friendly. The tour was short and no tour of the place just the cellar. Which was a shame. The wine was lovely and the trip to the farm house was nice. I would say that the organisers need to advise that there is a steep walk up from the farm house that was not suitable for everyone. But the lovely hosts did drop them off at the top.

From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $102 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 From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 19 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 From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip?
+
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 From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Lake Garda: Full-Day Valpolicella Wine and Lunch Guided Trip?
+
Around 7 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

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?
+
