Full description
I’ll have a glass of Amarone – just like my life. Ah, wasn’t that how it went?
Join our food and wine experience in Verona: accompanied by a guide, you’ll visit the wine museum and a historic winery that has been producing wine since 1892. Finally, you’ll taste five vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG from the last 20 years, taking a journey through time and flavour.
An experience lasting over an hour, all centred around your favourite wine!
What we will do
Please arrive 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Verona. The experience takes place at Cantine Giacomo Montresor, a historic winery that has been producing Valpolicella wines since 1892.
On arrival, we will meet the guide and the other participants. We will then begin with a tour of the Wine Museum: we will get to handle the antique 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 vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG from the last 20 years , including Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Satinato “2022”, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Riserva Satinato “2013”, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Capitel della Crosara” 2016, Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Capitel della Crosara” 2007, and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico “Capitel della Crosara” 2006. If you choose the “wine tasting + local specialities” option, you’ll be served a selection of local produce, such as cured meats and cheeses from Lessinia, along with homemade bread and olive oil.
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours in total.
