Full description
Cycling is easier when a glass of wine is waiting for you at the finish line.
That’s exactly what you’ll be doing on our self-guided e-bike tour and wine tasting in Verona: you’ll cycle through the Veronese hills until you reach a historic winery, where you’ll be treated to a tasting of Valpolicella wines.
And if you’d like to continue exploring, why not opt for the full-day experience!
What we will do
We’ll meet at the selected time at the meeting point in Verona.
On arrival, we’ll be given our hire e-bike and an app to download onto our mobile phones, which will contain the route to follow. We’ll cycle through the Valpolicella region, over hills dotted with vineyards and old farmhouses. As this is a self-guided e-bike tour, we’ll be able to cycle at our own pace and enjoy the scenery.
After about 2 hours, we’ll reach Cantine Giacomo Montresor, a historic winery that has been producing Valpolicella wines since 1892.
On arrival, we’ll meet the guide and the other participants on the tour. We’ll start with a visit to the Wine Museum: we’ll get to handle the old winemaking tools and discover the aromas of Valpolicella in the Aroma Room. This will be followed by a tour of the winery: we’ll explore the production process, from the pressing and fermentation facilities, through the grape-drying room, and down to the underground cellars where the great wines are aged and refined.
Finally, we’ll take our seats in the tasting room: we’ll taste five Valpolicella wines, including Lugana DOC Satinato, Valpolicella DOP Classico ‘Capitel della Crosara’, Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOP Primo Ripasso ‘Castelliere delle Guaite’, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Satinato, and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Riserva Satinato.
At the end of the winery tour, we’ll get back on our bikes and cycle back to the meeting point; the experience lasts approximately 4 hours in total. If you select the “full-day” option, after the winery tour we can continue exploring the area by bike until 6. 00 pm, before returning to the meeting point.
