Boutique winery experience
Meg_E, October 2026
This small group tour visits two small family run wineries so the vibe is much more personal than a large tour going to wineries that can handle coach loads . It’s charming, you’ll learn all about the winemaking process and there’s lots of opportunity to ask questions. The minivan is clean and comfortable and our guide Emanuel very knowledgeable.
Response from the operator · Waystours Thank you, Meg! We’re delighted you enjoyed the personal atmosphere of our small-group tour and the chance to learn more about winemaking at family-run wineries. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with Emanuele!

Excellent wine tasting. We visited two beautiful wineries. Aleksandra was a fabulous host. Really liked the small group and traveling by small van.

Absolutely a well spent afternoon
Kelly_E, October 2026
A fun and easy way to learn about and enjoy the Valpolicella area and wines! Stefano, our guide, was a blast of positivity eagerly sharing his passion for Italy and its wine heritage. Making the most of the short drive into the vineyards, he shared just enough history and information about the area to entice our curiosity (and palettes!) by the time we arrived at the first property. We visited two very different vineyards, learned all about their production, got out in the vineyard, and enjoyed several tastes with local products. Our hosts at both properties were delightful and my fellow visitors asked very interesting questions. Stefano was very generous with his local knowledge about restaurants, tours, etc, as well. We all came back much more knowledgeable and ready to continue our Veronese wine journey! Absolutely a well spent afternoon.
Response from the operator · Waystours Thank you, Kelly! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering Valpolicella and its wine traditions with Stefano. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with him and our winery partners!

Ami_G, October 2026
This tour was fantastic, it includes visiting two wineries with different approaches to creating the same style of reds. Lorenzo the tour guide was amazing and very friendly and informative. It’s a tour of eight so feels really exclusive and intimate.
