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.
