Wow, what a gem of a place or should I correctly say Palace, just north of Verona in the village of Bure just a short bus ride from central Verona. We travelled to the vineyard to sample some of their wines and tour the estate. What we actually experienced was a first rate tour of the estate, meeting the owners and hearing their story and their connection to the area, plus a tour of their beautifully restored home that was once an actual Palace. The history and the amazing frescoes of this building make it worth the visit alone. But then we were wowed by their amazing wines, olive oil and charcuterie board- what a great day! Needless to say we left with several bottles to enjoy back at our accommodation ( it would have been more but we had carry on luggage so couldn’t take any home). They do provide a service to transport bottles to your home address. We will return, especially as they also run an agriturismo. Thank you again for a great experience and a big thanks to Valentina for looking...
Read moreMariangela arranged for my girlfriend and I to visit a small, boutique winery in Valpolicella. We tasted Valpolecilla Classico, Ripasso, and the famous Amarone alongside some lovely local dishes of cured meats, pistachio spread, fresh bread, and delightful cookies. The views from the 450m high winery were breathtaking. Most importantly, Mariangela was sweet, knowledgeable, attentive, and full of delightful recommendations for Verona and the rest of our trip. If in the Verona area, go taste Valpolicella with Mariangela!...
Read moreWe had an amazing experience with Mariangela. Very professional, friendly, knowledgable and hospitable. Picked us from the hotel and accompanied us to the three wineries in Valpolicella that they had booked.
The choice of wineries was exceptional - we would have not discovered or booked any of these on our own. High quality, family run, small production wineries - at two of the three wineries we had the owners giving us the tour and tasting.
Would recommend Valpolicella Tasting...
