Valpolicella Wine Tour from Lake Garda, with Lunch

Heel leuke ervaring enkel jammer dat er weinig tijd is om iets te doen tussen de ritten door maar voor de rest zeker een aanrader prachtig uitzicht en goede commentaar van de gids

Ondanks het slechte weer was de tour was de tour erg mooi. De gids wist erg veel en kon veel vertellen van de omgeving. De tour was erg lang en had voor ons wat korter gemogen. Konden bovenop de bergen helaas weinig zien vanwege de wolken.

Op de terugweg in de file vanwege de vakantiedrukte, waardoor we pas 20.30uur terug waren.

Tour is zeker een aanrader. Vest en regenkleding wel aan the raden mee the nemen.

The wine tour is fascinating with 3 wines to taste, a home cooked meal and more wine in a farmhouse and a visit to a very old church. The guides were amusing and knowledgeable. The only downside is the long coach trip, 2 hours from Malcesine, 3 from Limone, to reach your destination.

fantastische dag gehad. Busreis was heel comfortabel. goede uitleg van onze gids. Alles verliep heel vlot. korte rondgang door Venetië waarna we een goedkope lunch konden bijboeken. Dewelke zeer lekker was. Nadien konden we nog een gondeltocht bijboeken aan een zeer schappelijke prijs. Zeker doen. We hebben ook nog de boottocht door de lagune geboekt maar door het hete weer was dit wat een tegenvaller. Hierdoor ook wat weinig vrije tijd in Venetië zelf.

First class trip. Great day, wine and food where fantastic. So was our host and driver. Then a quick trip to a little church.

We went on this day tour from Malcesine we were picked up on time by the coach driver Luca and the tour guide Alex (Alessandro) we had been on a tour to Verona 2 days previously with the same driver and tour guide. The tour guide Alex is extremely nice and hospitable and genuinely cares about giving the customers a nice time, he is very knowledgeable and gives out loads of interesting information ( Don’t know how he remembers it all ) he is multi lingual and caters for both the British and German speaking passengers equally well. The tour firstly visits a family run vineyards high up in the mountains, you get a tour of the winery and a taste of 3 of their wines and an option to purchase if you want, there is no pressure to buy any at all.
You then visit a local farm/restaurant and have a 2 course lunch and more wine, coffee water etc. We enjoyed the meal as did others on the tour. Finally you get to visit a very old church building in a quaint hilltop village.
We thought the tour was very good value for money, But what makes the tour so good is the guide Alex.

Valpolicella Wine Tour was excellent. Picked up on time, interesting guide and very good presentation in the winery itself by one of the family members. We tried 3 wines there (a rose, a good red then a high class red) before going for lunch nearby where we were served 2 courses and plenty of table wine (which was delicious !). Stopped off at a small village for a break on way back. Lovely day out.

Alessandro was wonderful. The wine was amazing as was the food! Would definitely recommend. Some of the trip was uphill so just keep it in mind if you struggle to walk.

We had a great time. The driver came and picked us up at our hotel, we went to two wineries and tried a lot of really good wine (especially Ripasso and Amarone). In between we went to a beautiful little town and had a ok Italian lunch. I really recommend this trip if you like wine from Valpolicella.
