I wanted to send a gift of wine to someone in Verona, and I reached out to Sara for help. She was extremely helpful and very generous with her time, and always replied quickly and kindly to all of my questions. With her excellent wine knowledge, she helped me put together a selection of local Italian wines and get them delivered (with no charge for the local delivery!). She even took the time to translate and hand write a beautiful letter to include with the wines. I can't say enough about her gracious professionalism. I look forward to a day when I can travel to Verona again and enjoy some of the wine and food tours that Sara and Virginia offer. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would!

We were a few days ago in this magnificent winery. A friend recommended it to us and we were well satisfied. We had a tasting of their wines, accompanied by cold cuts and excellent cheeses, especially the one matched with lugana. The girl was very easy-going and kind and professional. We spent a couple of hours in excellent company of friends, good wine and good food. We will be back soon! Peter

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!

The vineyard also features a small BnB with a small restaurant (that serves a great breakfast) and rooms with French doors opening up to the olive trees and views of Verona city below. Splendid, splendid!! I stayed there one night with friends - the room was large, well appointed. The reception was friendly ('have a glass of bubbly in our lobby seating area while we review your passport, as per tourism rules' - how hospitable!). The bed was comfortable, the breakfast delicious.
