On a two and a half hour walking tour of Verona, you’ll quickly understand that this city is much more than the famous Roman amphitheatre and the ill-fated love affair of Romeo and Juliet. Starting with the Romans conquering Verona, and ending with its contemporary history, the different ages of the city are visible through all the various monuments scattered around its historical centre. After a fascinating walking tour around the city of Verona, we'll drive up into the nearby hills to explore the delightful countryside of the Valpolicella wine region. Optional lunch can be taken at a restaurant high up in the hills, famous for its cuisine that includes home-made pasta, and its incredible views of the surrounding hills covered in vines our generous host will give you an introduction to the local wines.

In the afternoon, we'll drive through the glorious countryside of the Valpolicella wine region, crossing the series of hills, that like fingers stretching out from the mountains above create the several valleys that make up the celebrated wine growing area of the Valpolicella. Along the way we'll see numerous enchanting villages, and delightful views. At a hill town with distant views of Lake Garda, and a delightful Longabord church we'll reflect on the beauty of this region.
