Winery Tour & Tasting
followed by a Michelin-starred Dinner
Late afternoon we will offer an optional excursion with a supplemental fee.
Those who opt-in will travel one hour north to meet with BorgosanDaniele, an artisanal producer of the region’s signature wines, and one of the most award-winning boutique wineries in Italy.
Winemaker Mauro Mauri will guide us through his wines with passion and humility in one of the most tranquil winery setting we have ever visited. Then we will savor an elegant dinner at one of the region’s top Michelin-rated restaurants paired with beautiful wine pairings.
Winery Tour & Tasting
followed by lunch and comparative tasting
If you would like to break away mid-morning, there is an optional excursion with a supplemental fee. We will explore the wines of the Valpolicella, tasting the best this region has to offer.
We will visit L’Arco, a highly regarded boutique vineyard in the historic wine producing area of Valpolicella.
Winemaker Luca Fedrigo will lead a private tasting and tour of his small winery – rarely opened to the public – to underscore the ancient process of drying grapes and define the patience needed to produce this region’s hallmark wines.
Following our tasting at L’Arco, we will have a spectacular lunch high above the vineyards in a tiny village with some of the best pasta in Italy! In this humble trattoria, Francesco, Pierina, and their three sons will share their family story through the art of hand-rolled pasta.
We will have a comparative tasting of Valpolicella and Amarone by two of the most renowned producers, L’Arco and Quintarelli. We will return to Verona by 4 p.m. to give you your evening free.
