Amarone & Verona Tour — Romance, Wine, and the Timeless Charm of Veneto
Imagine a day that begins in the floating beauty of Venice and ends among vineyards, villas, and Romeo and Juliet’s Verona — all wrapped in the elegance of Italian wine and culture.
This is your invitation to experience the heart of the Veneto region like never before. Our private Amarone and Verona Tour blends the best of both worlds: a journey through one of Italy’s most prestigious wine regions and an intimate exploration of Verona — a city that has inspired poets, lovers, and dreamers for centuries.
🚗 From Venice to the Hills of Valpolicella
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Piazzale Roma in Venice. In the comfort of a private car or luxury van, your personal driver and guide will lead you through the rolling countryside of Veneto — a landscape painted with vineyards, olive groves, and hilltop villas.
As you leave the lagoon behind, the scenery transforms. The land rises gently into the Valpolicella wine region, where the air carries the scent of grapes and oak barrels. Here, winemaking is more than tradition — it’s a way of life.
🍇 Private Amarone Wine Tasting in Valpolicella
Your first stop is a historic villa estate surrounded by manicured gardens and endless rows of vines. This is where the magic of Amarone della Valpolicella comes alive — a wine known for its power, elegance, and depth.
Inside the villa’s ancient cellars, the winemaker will guide you through the unique appassimento process, where grapes are slowly dried to concentrate flavor before fermentation. You’ll sample a curated selection of local wines — from velvety Valpolicella Ripasso to the iconic Amarone itself — all paired with regional delicacies.
Every sip tells a story of patience and passion, of families who have cultivated these lands for generations. Take a quiet moment to enjoy the panorama — soft hills, cypress trees, and the golden light of Veneto — before continuing toward Verona.

🏛️ Exploring Verona — City of Love and Legend
Next, step into Verona, a UNESCO World Heritage city that feels like a living stage set. Elegant, walkable, and brimming with history, Verona enchants visitors with its romantic energy and timeless architecture.
Highlights of Verona:
- Piazza delle Erbe: Once the Roman forum, now a lively square surrounded by frescoed palazzi and colorful market stalls.
- The Arena di Verona: A perfectly preserved Roman amphitheater that still hosts open-air opera performances each summer.
- Piazza dei Signori: The “noble square” framed by medieval buildings and Dante’s statue watching over the city.
- Juliet’s House: Step beneath the iconic balcony where Shakespeare’s heroine dreamed of love — a timeless stop for romantics of all ages.
As you stroll through narrow alleys, pause at artisan boutiques and cafés, or follow your guide to the Adige River for breathtaking views of the bridges and skyline. Verona’s beauty lies in its contrasts — ancient and modern, lively yet intimate.
💖 Juliet’s Balcony and the Spirit of Romance
No visit to Verona is complete without a stop at Casa di Giulietta — Juliet’s House. Here, beneath the famous balcony, countless travelers have left love notes and whispered wishes. Whether you’re visiting with your partner or traveling solo, the energy is contagious — it’s impossible not to feel the city’s romantic pulse.
Continue wandering through cobbled streets lined with boutiques, gelaterias, and wine bars. Verona’s atmosphere invites you to slow down — to enjoy the dolce vita at your own pace, espresso (or Amarone) in hand.
🌆 Sunset Return to Venice
As the afternoon light turns golden, your driver will meet you for the comfortable journey back to Venice. The drive itself becomes a final gift — passing through sunlit vineyards, sleepy villages, and open countryside before returning to the lagoon city.
By the time you reach Piazzale Roma, you’ll carry with you the taste of Amarone, the spirit of Verona, and memories of one of Italy’s most enchanting days.
