Full description
If you’d set off at a gallop for a glass of wine, this experience is for you.
Join our horse ride and wine tasting in Verona: first you’ll ride through the stunning scenery of the Adige Park, then you’ll visit a historic winery where you’ll be treated to a tasting of Valpolicella wines.
An experience lasting over 2 hours – a ride through the world of flavour!
What we will do
Please arrive 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Verona. Once there, we’ll meet the riding guide who’ll be accompanying us on this adventure!
Once all participants have gathered, we’ll be given our equipment and our horses will be allocated. We’ll then mount up, learn the basics of horse riding and all the information we need to ensure a worry-free experience.
And here we are, ready for our horse ride: we’ll set off into the Parco dell’Adige Nord, an urban park where trees have been planted to celebrate every new birth in the city of Verona. We’ll ride alongside the River Adige, enjoying panoramic views of the hills of Verona and Monte Baldo. The horse ride lasts approximately 1 hour.
Afterwards, we’ll each return to our own transport to head to the nearby 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 in the experience. We’ll then begin with a visit to the Wine Museum: we’ll get to handle the ancient 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. These will be accompanied by a selection of local produce, including cured meats and cheeses from Lessinia, as well as homemade bread and olive oil.
The experience lasts approximately two and a half hours in total.
