Visited Ugolini winery recently and enjoyed the lovely hospitality of Maria Giuditta who is the granddaughter of one of the key persons instrumental in developing the Ugolini winery. With an approach dedicated to organic techniques this visit allowed us to appreciate the remarkable efforts made to produce excellent wines. The indigenous grapes of Valpolicella are especially suited to the local terroir. The skill of the winemaker in blending the various grapes is what creates that magic in a bottle of Ugolini wine. Highlighted during the tour was the fascinating process of drying the grapes for the production of Amarone and Recioto. Ingeniously the common laborers of years ago took the leftover pomice from making Amarone and used it to improve the basic Valpolicella creating another great wine style Ripasso. We tasted the classic lineup including Valpolicella, Superiore, Ripasso, Recioto and Amarone. My favorite was the Ripasso with it's earthy, leathery medium to full bodied taste which begins to approach the weight and complexity of Amarone. However at the 20 Euros price point the Ripasso is a great value. The placemat used for the tasting is a nice souvenir. It is an artist's rendition of the Fumane valley depicting the Ugolini vineyards. Maria Giuditta could not have been nicer and she sang a beautiful Venetian song for my wife's birthday. 15 minutes away in San Giorgio Di Valpolicella we enjoyed a gorgeous panoramic sunset view of Lake Garda. Another great tip from Maria!

Built in 1123-35, this ornate Romanesque church features adorned bronze doors and remarkable Cloister.

The ticket to visit the Basilica is very reasonable and you can have an audio tour as you walk around which is fascinating; the Basilica is dedicated to the Saint of Verona and the month of May is dedicated to him. Worth the visit as inside is serene and very special indeed.

In the Sant’Elena church (a section of the overall church) you can see the flooring from the 4th century! This church was named after Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine. There's a baptismal font, gorgeous carving, here since the 12th century.. 1,000 year old frescoes, paintings throughout the church are incredible, all added Medieval, Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque. Beautiful columns from the 11th century are in one of the first rooms after you enter. I don't remember what I paid for the audio guide, but it was well worth it! It's only 3 euros to get in, with the audio guide included.

This impressive castle built in the 14th century houses a fine art gallery.
Reviewed By tizS_11 - Rome, Italy
This castle is one of the gems in the city of Verona. It is full of wonderful paintings from the medieval period to the 1700s magnificently displayed! You should not miss the following masterpieces: 1. Peter Paul Rubens’ “Portrait of a Lady” made for the Duke of Mantova 2. Pisanello’s “Madonna of the Quail” (this Madonna has the most beautiful face and hair in the history of Italian art!) 3. Mantegna’s “Holy Family.” Of course to see his masterpiece (the Correr altarpiece) you should walk to the nearby Basilica of San Zeno 4. Luca Giordano’s “Diana & Endimione” and “Bacchus e Ariadne” 5. Tiepolo’s “Heliodorus” 6. And finally the monumental equestrian statue of the smiling ruler of Verona Cangrande from 1300s. Some of these paintings were stolen in 2016 then found in Ucraine, and luckily returned intact to the Castelvecchio Museum. The castle also offers great views of the Adige river and the beautiful Scaliger Bridge! The bridge was bombed during WWII but then rebuilt. It is an amazing bridge. Visit the castle and its collection. You won’t regret!

This imposing Gothic building is the largest in Verona.
Reviewed By 227ianc - London, United Kingdom
There are four major historic churches in Verona, which mean you have to have time to visit them. Sadly, given the heat of one of the hottest days of the year, we could only manage a couple, but this was top of our list. The outside, as other reviewers have noted, is quite plain and indeed the west end is still incomplete several centuries after it was built. Here, for those of you who have visited the Scaliger tombs, is another link as the family were major benefactors of the church which was (almost) completed in the 15th century The largest church in Verona, it contains important works of art, both in the altars and in the recently-discovered frescos on the walls, plus also amusing things like the unique Holy Water Stoops (1495 and 1591). There is an admission fee to enter, but if you have time to visit the other churches you can buy a good-value ticket to all four. The admission desk will advise on your options. Do not miss this and the Duomo....

The Wine Museum and adjacent Vinoteca are free entry for all individual visitors. For groups of 10 or more people the reservation is required. For both individual visitors and groups we required the reservation also for the visit of the entire winery. The Zeni winery is proud to present GO the olfactory gallery, a new eno-sensory tasting, which is the first of its kind in Italy.

We got to know Cantina Zeni last year for the first time and already then we stopped by three times during our stay. This year history repeated and we spent three phantastic afternoons with Martina, Alessia, Chiara and Rado in the wine cellar of Cantina Zeni. We highly recommend to take sufficient time and enjoy the wonderful Zeni wines in the wine cellar. We have learnt very much about the local wines and have been treated extremely nice. To a certain extent this was potentially possible as the season neared the end and it was not too crowded. It is highly recommended to clarify, if a reservation is required. We are very much looking forward to see our Zeni friends again next year!

When you visit big producers such as this, you often receive a poor and cold treatment. That was absolutely not the case at Zyme! Other than the superb quality of the 8 wines served, Marco did a great job with me and my American friend Scott in teaching us the philosophy behind the wine-production and the architecture of their recently built winery.
