Great tour of a beautiful winery and great wine to sample
We feel that no holiday is complete without a wine tour and this one looked good. I am happy to report that it was good. It started bang on time and lasted an hour and a half as advertised. The chateau is beautiful but you only see one room in it, the magnificent entrance hall. The vineyard at the back is an oasis of peace and the brief tour of the cellars very interesting. We went on to taste 4 wines beginning with the cheapest Soave-not a bad wine-and going on to an expensive Amarone-a superb wine. Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the making of the different styles of wine. A very pleasant, educational experience.

Great Tour!
This activity/tour was EVERYTHING! OMG, our tour host was absolutely amazing! I am sorry I don't remember her name. She is so passionate about wine and the whole process, and she explained it all to us thoroughly. We got to taste 4 of the most amazing wines. I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my European trip.

Winery tour
It's almost impossible to get a taxi back to the city from the winery. We were told taxis would come to the winery anytime to pick you up, however that was not the case.

Great tasting experience for newbies and self professed experts!!!
We were a group of 4 friends (40s and 50s!) - some seasoned wine tasters and others who were enjoying the experience for the first time. We really enjoyed the wine tasting experience. The sommelier (Sara) was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer all our questions. The wines themselves were excellent, though I would have liked a bit more to taste! We ended up purchasing some wine and a cookbook afterwards. Overall, a lovely experience — thank you!

Why this scores 65

The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella 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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 108 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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella?
+
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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella 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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella?
+
Around 38 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 The Amarone Chateau guided tour and tasting in Valpolicella 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.
