Excellent experience

We had visited Tenuta Santa Maria Vanverde. It is family run winery of more than a century of tradition. They keep producing wines in traditional way. The owner guided us to vinyard, cellars including the one that keeps old bottles exclusively for family use. The light lunch was served on the yard looking out over the valley. We taste 3 wines including amarone 2016. Just keep in mind that “30 minutes by bus from Verona” is false statement ( you can check it on Google map).

Operator response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very happy that you enjoyed discovering our family winery, the vineyards, the cellar and our wines, as well as the light lunch overlooking the Valpolicella valley. Thank you also for your note about the travel time from Verona. Depending on the starting point, traffic and transportation, the journey can take longer, and your feedback is very helpful for us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future for another glass of Amarone! Warm regards, Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde

Outstanding experience in hospitality and wine tasting

We enjoyed a great experience in Italian hospitality. The tour guide gave us a personal tour in a 5th generation family winery with interesting insights. We tasted excellent wines in a wonderful scenery in Valpolicella and we got a ride back to Verona to help us with our afternoon plans. We definitely recommend this experience and we plan to come back when we get a chance.

Operator response

It is a true pleasure to know that you appreciated not only our wines and the beauty of the Valpolicella landscape, but also the warm hospitality and the opportunity to discover the history of our family's winery. Creating authentic and personal experiences is what inspires us every day. We are also delighted that the transfer back to Verona made your day even more enjoyable and convenient. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit whenever you return to Valpolicella. Cheers! 🍷

Ilaria and team were the...

Ilaria and team were the most gracious hosts to my friends and me. We decided to book a tour during the heatwave a couple of weeks ago and hoped to escape to a little cooler weather. They gave us a tour, which included learning the history of the winemakers in the region as well as their own property. We stayed much longer than expected as we were really enjoying getting to know everyone, and we enjoyed the wine so very much! Fully recommend this tour to see a bit of a different side of Verona and explore outside the city. I If we make our way to Verona again, I know we will be back to visit this beautiful location.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your time with us and that our winery became such a special part of your visit to Verona. It was a pleasure to share our family history, our wines, and our passion for Valpolicella with you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again one day for another memorable experience. Safe travels and cheers from all of us! 🍷

Beautiful views. Casual experience.

Beautiful winery with rich history and priceless views. Wasn't totally what I expected. Tour was more of a casual chat around the place and wine tasting was very informal. Note the transport isn't a shuttle or a bus but collection by the owner in the winery's private vehicle.

Operator response

Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the beauty of the estate, its history, and the panoramic views. Our Discover Valpolicella experience is intentionally designed as a relaxed and authentic visit rather than a formal guided tour. Guests are welcomed into our family estate to enjoy an informal conversation while exploring the vineyards and winery, followed by a wine tasting in a friendly and personal atmosphere, exactly as described in the experience details. Regarding transportation, we also specify in the booking information that guests choosing the transfer option are collected directly by a member of our team in a private winery vehicle rather than by a shuttle bus. We appreciate your comments, as they help future guests better understand the style of experience we offer, and we hope to welcome you again someday.

Wonderful experience. We are not wine experts, but precisely for this reason, we appreciated the tour that opened our eyes to the great work behind every bottle of wine and every label. So much work and so much passion. Wonderful wines, accompanied by small delicacies... wonderful hospitality and kind, attentive staff. Definitely worth repeating!
