Beautiful area and the history so beautiful presented by lovely guide, than tasting 3 different wines and have a snack with the delicious olive oil, different cheeses & salami.

We visited as a couple for the wine tasting and vineyard tour, with others doing the truffle hunt. Rachele, our guide, was excellent; very knowledgeable, accommodating and her descriptions, in English, were fantastic. After a tour, we were treated to 4 of the wines produced, with bread and oil, cheeses, olives (the veggie alternative to the salami), the most wonderful sweet but spicy cherry chutney, and some almond cake. The views were spectacular and the experience one we will never forget, well worth the money. The organiser will put on a transfer from the bus stop at Piazza Cadorna, but be aware that the cost for this is 100E, split between however many take up the offer, so in our case we shared with a lovely German couple and paid 50E each couple. - tip: bring bug bite cream or spray ahead of time.

It was perfect. You can go to Italy just for this experience! The wine was amazing and so was the view and every one working there.

This tour was a dream experience! The small family-owned boutique winery is out of a story-book. We rode e-bikes (which we hadn’t done before - so fun!) while the winemaker himself shared stories of the vines and villages. It was peaceful and the perfect pace. We then shared a delicious lunch of homemade pasta with truffles while tasting their superb Valpolicella wines. The views were incredible and the whole day was perfect. I highly recommend this experience!

I had the best wine tasting experience I have ever had. The wine tour was amazing and wonderful with Olympia being very deep in her knowledge and history behind the Valpolicella winery. The wine tasting was delicious and to know that this winery only makes 15,000 bottles a year just shows how much time and care they put into making their wine taste so good. The views are stunning and I can’t help but recommend Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde wine tour/tasting enough! I will definitely be back :)

Very good experience with family of four on e-bikes for the first time. Guided tour adapted to level of experience. Lovely views with delicious mail afterwards in the garden accompanying the wines tasting. I would recommend this to my friends.

Our guide and winemaker Nicola took us in what we thought would be an e-bike ride through his vineyards, but which turned out to be so much more! We learned about the strategic importance of the Valpolicella region from pre-Roman times up to today. He showed us Roman ruins found in a vineyard. He shared the techniques of how he makes his wines, and at the end of the bike tour we enjoyed a delicious lunch tasting his amazing wines in a delightful garden back at the homestead Nicola's family has lived in for 7 generations. The service and ambiance were fantastic! We thought this tour would be fun, but it far exceeded our expectations!

We loved our visit! Welcoming employees, beautiful magical surroundings and the wine tasting (and food) was amazing. We enjoyed the history of the place as well as Albertino (cute little 🐕 ) who followed us everywhere! We highly recommend!

What a lovely experience! Beautiful views, great wine and the winemaker was full of historical information about the winery and wine making in Northern Italy.

As experienced “truffle hunters” in Italy (we also did it in Tuscany 2-3 years ago), the truffle hunting part of the tour was just OK. More of a hike than anything, but only found 4-5 very small truffles, maybe the size of a marble. Compared to 2 years ago in Tuscany, we found 15-20 in half the time, all very good size, like an average strawberry. Then, when they served us food, it was good, but there was hardly any truffle on it at all, maybe just oil, not 1 slice that you usually find. Again, compared to Tuscany, the guy shaved 5-10 slices on each dish. In Tuscany, he probably used 3-4 full truffles for only 4 of us. Here, I don’t think they used even 1, just oil with some truffle specs. The wine was very good. The people were super nice, although a little slow with the tasting. I would recommend doing the tasting only and save truffle for Tuscany or elsewhere. On their website, they show shaving the truffles on the food, but they did not do that.

This tour was amazing. Nicola was very enthusiastic and an outstanding host. We loved learning about his family’s rooted history in wine making and culture. The views of the valley during the tour were unbelievable and I recommend this to anyone wanting a full Italian wine country experience.

An excellent tour of the vineyard, production process and a lovely tasting. We love our wine and regularly do tours like this. So amazing to visit a winery with buildings dating back to the 1400s and to learn of their bio dynamic processes. A must to do when in the region.

Definitely mi highlight of the trip. If you love wine, outdoors and mountain bike, this is a must visit. This is a great experience, beautiful chateau and a very friendly host. Thank you Nicolai!

Brilliant experience, lovely family owned vineyard. We arrived via an organised mini bus with other guests, which was an additional cost but worth it rather than getting buses from Verona. Very knowledgeable, informative and relaxed tour, with far reaching views of their vines. Tasted four wines, together with fresh bread, local cheeses, salami and cherry chutney. Almond biscuits served with the final wine. A really lovely experience, highly recommend. 🍷 (I took my own gluten free bread)

We had such a wonderful afternoon here. The situation of the vineyard is up in the hills so the views are amazing. We learned about the history of this family vineyard, how the grapes are grown and .processed. Then we settled down in the courtyard overlooking the hills and tasted 3 types of wine. The glasses were very generous and bread, cheese and hams were provided. Everyone was very friendly . We would thoroughly recommend this trip - one of the highlights of our holiday in Verona.
