Spectacular Valpolicella in Vino
Virginia Conta knows how to put together a wine tour! We arranged a private tour for four with Romeo and Juliet Guides, and Virginia, one of the co-owners, met us at the railway station in Verona. From beginning to end, the day was exceptionally well organized, informative, relaxed, and great fun. Our first stop was Quintarelli Giuseppe, a high-end winery renowned for its phenomenal Amarones. The estate is beautiful, surrounded by vineyards with wonderful views across the Valpolicella countryside. We learned that the prized grapes used for Amarone grow on the slopes, and one of the winery’s small staff gave us an in-depth explanation of how tightly controlled their winemaking process is and how much care goes into producing wines at this level. At the end of the educational portion of the tour, we were taken into a room in the wine cellar that Giuseppe Quintarelli himself once used to sit down and talk business over one or more bottles of wine. There we tasted several wines, including, of course, the prized Amarones. The wines seemed to progress from excellent, to superb, to outstanding, and finally to exquisite. And then you have the opportunity to buy some—which we most certainly did. The second half of Virginia’s tour took us to Monte Santoccio, whose owner and master winemaker had worked for Quintarelli for years before establishing his own label. This was a completely different but equally memorable experience. We enjoyed an assortment of homemade hot dishes, locally produced cheeses, finely sliced charcuterie, olives, olive oil, tomatoes, and fresh bread on a terrace overlooking the surrounding vineyards. After lunch, the owner and winemaker joined us personally for a tour of his winemaking facilities and tastings of his excellent wines. We enjoyed them so much that I believe we ultimately purchased five cases. Virginia arranged to have the wine shipped back home for us and can even assist with ordering more after you inevitably run out. We had an outstanding time. Virginia is knowledgeable, personable, and an excellent host who clearly knows the wineries, the wines, and the people behind them. I highly recommend this tour, particularly for anyone who wants to learn more about Valpolicella wines while enjoying some phenomenally good wine, wonderful food, spectacular scenery, and genuine Italian hospitality. This was unquestionably one of the highlights of our trip to Italy.
Response from the operator: Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart 💜 it’s been a pleasure organizing for you and your friends a great trip here! Take care and I wish you a happy life Virginia romeoandjulietguide

Wonderful day in the vineyard
This tour was not only educational but done at one of the most beautiful wineries in the region. Sara was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful. We couldn’t have imagined a more pleasant day experiencing these fine Valpolicella wines and would highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It’s been a great pleasure meeting and hosting you. Have a great day life

The first winery was...
The first winery was lovely and the wines very nice. The second winery and lunch were disappointing. We booked as it was a maximum of 12 people but there were 16 on our group. We were expecting as per our itinerary to have a main local dish but we only had platters of cold meat, cheese and bruschetta which were tasty but for the price expected a bit more.
Response from the operator: Dear lady, We just received a review from the other group with you at the same tour on Sunday September 27 and they were actually very happy about the lunch and all the selections of food ( see the review below 👇) so I think it’s very personal .. and in our description it’s clearly written that we serve a delicious light lunch based on local products km 0 ( wineries are not restaurants) so I am sorry for your disappointment about that. We hope BTW you had a nice day.. Anyway thank you so much for your feedback and I wish you a great life ! Thanks again Romeoandjulietguide team

Great experience at 2 local wineries
Sara was an excellent guide and took us to two great wineries. The first was a smaller winery where we got to meet owner and hear more about the wine making process for amarone and reposse. The second was a larger winery with a beautiful lunch spread. Overall, great experience, lasted just over five hours and the wine was amazing. Pick up in central Verona. About 12 people total on the tour and it felt small enough for a great experience. Sara was very knowledgeable and fun. Option to purchase wine and have it shipped home if you’re interested (we did!)
Response from the operator: Thank you so so much for your lovely feedback. We appreciate it ! Take care all the best Romeoandjulietguide team

Wonderful day tour
Absolutely a great experience our tour guide was the best. Visited 2 wonderful Valepocella region Amarone wineries and snacked on wonderful food offerings we sang in the car to “Volare” by Dean Martin and other Italian pop artists. Got back to my hotel with a lighter wallet as I purchased wined from both places and had shipped home. Great day. Grazie Mille
Response from the operator: Thank you so so much for your amazing feedback. We wish you a great vacation in Italy All the best Romeoandjulietguide team

Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $237 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 Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 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 Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 177 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 Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch?
+
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 Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch?
+
Around 62 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Grand tour of Valpolicella : Amarone focus, 2 Wineries and Lunch 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.
