This was such a fantastic experience. The tour guide Emanuele was exceptionally knowledgeable and did everything possible to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable. The tours of the vine yards and wineries were very interesting and the wine was excellent as was the cheese and hams included alongside the wine . It was also lovely to escape the mid August crowds - it was very peaceful. Would definitely recommend!
Very friendly tour guide and visited 2 nice wineries, tasted very good wines and nice local cheese and meats.
Great to go to two different wineries and be able to compare different wines. The guide was very helpful and informative.
Great tours and tastings at two boutique wineries with both a great guide and passionate and knowledgeable winemakers. The wine and snacks were delicious and the locations perfect!
It was an excellent tour that I highly recommend. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and everything related to it, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The hosts at the wineries were also very knowledgeable and did a great job sharing their expertise and passion. We especially enjoyed being part of a smaller group, which made the experience much more personal and relaxed. We were also lucky to have a wonderful group of fellow travelers, which made the day even more enjoyable.
We booked the morning session of this small group wine tour. It ended up a private tour with just two of us!!! Leo was our guide and driver. He was very knowledgable about the wine produced and the history of that area. Because it was just two of us, we had a wonderful time chatting with Leo and also the winery guides!!
I just completed the Amarone Wine Tasting Tour from Verona with Private Transportation by Waystours (a B Corp which I was so excited to see!), and it was absolutely amazing! This was one of the highlights of my time in Italy. Our tour guide was outstanding. Knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the region and its wines. They took us to two fantastic properties where we enjoyed beautiful storytelling, excellent wine tastings, and wonderful hospitality. The combination of learning the history and traditions behind Amarone while sipping world-class wines in such stunning settings was unforgettable. I especially loved how the experience fostered a sense of connection and friendships among the group. The private transportation made everything seamless and comfortable, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the day without any stress. If you’re in Verona and love wine, history, and great company, I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Waystours delivered a perfect balance of education, tasting, and genuine warmth. Thank you for an exceptional experience—we’ll definitely be back!
