Personal and relaxed tour
Our super friendly guide Elisa brought us to two fantastic wineries where the experience was very personal and relaxed. The owners of the wineries presented their products and the surroundings in a very intriguing way. We learned a lot!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Fredrick! We are happy that you enjoyed your day with Elisa and loved the winery visits. Hope to welcome you back soon!

Small producers, big fun!
Really enjoyed this tour, we went to two small wineries and were fortunate enough to have our tour with the owner of the first one, and a family member at the second one. Our tour host was very kind and gave us good information as we drove through the different areas. We also were very lucky that it ended up being a private tour, because we went during the weak in the off season, but often times it’s groups of 8 or so people. You’ll love the wines!

Great way to spend an afternoon and learn about wine.
This was a fantastic experience and highly recommended. We got to visit two very different wineries and learn more about the wine-making process from passionate people, whilst sampling four wines at each destination. If you're into wine definitely check this out.

Fantastic experience
Fantastic afternoon spent visiting 2 vineyards. Anna our tour guide was excellent and spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable about the regions wines. The wines were lovely and we given good servings more than I expected. We booked it as the weather forecast was bad and it was a great thing to do as it's indoors but equally I'd say go anytime.

Great wineries, shame about the tour company
We have been on many Italian wine tours over the years and were very pleased to discover Pagus. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with how they managed our first tour: 1. Minibus with non functioning air conditioning in 38 °. 2. One seatbelt in the second row was broken and would not lock (we did not need it but a bigger tour would have done). 3. Inexperienced young male guide who gave us absolutely NO information about anything at all and in fact did not speak more than a handful of words to us for the whole 4 hours (he told us it wasn't far to walk to the first winery). In view of the awards they hold and the relatively high cost of the half day tour we did expect a more professional service and are very disappointed indeed. We emailed Pagus directly about our dissatisfaction but have yet to hear from them. We would give 5 stars to the 2 excellent wineries, but due to the unprofessionalism of Pagus can only award 2.

Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour cost?
+
Prices start at $167 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 Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 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 Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour?
+

Is Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour?
+
Around 9 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pagus Wine Tours® - Soave and Amarone - Half day wine tour 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?
+
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.
