Itinerary

Meet the private driver at the train station or at the airport for the transfer to the hotel. Get comfortable and check-in at the selected accommodation. In the late afternoon you’ll get the first introduction to the city and to your holiday plan.. but not before having an Aperitivo. This is the first rule of your Veronese vacation: remember that’s always Aperitivo time!

After the meeting with your local host you will have the evening at leisure to explore the city and have dinner in one of the restaurants suggested by your local expert.

A quick coffee on the way just to wake up (or a complete hotel breakfast, up to you, but remember to save some space) and you’ll be ready for the highlight of your day: Verona food and wine walking tour. Follow your local foodie and just like a real local, start your day drinking an authentic Italian espresso and a local “Risino” dessert. Afterwards, you’ll stop in one of the most traditional “Osterie” of the city, where you will savor some local products, such as Soppressa (a type of salami), Monte Veronese cheese and the famous cicchetti from Verona.

During the next step you’ll enjoy a traditional dish and discover some local traditions. Continue your visit discovering traditional local wines, such as the Valpolicella red wine, or the white wines like Soave or Lugana. After the Food and Wine tour there’s no need to have lunch for sure, so enjoy the time to explore the most beautiful corners of the city of Romeo and Juliet and relax in the shade of the majestic Arena.

The dinner will be at leisure… maybe you can practice the information learned during the morning tour, selecting the best local dishes and dabble in some wine pairing. We suggest a night stroll in the streets of the city of love for the beautiful atmosphere and for getting ready for the food and wine experiences of the next day.

This time you’ll cookyour own lunch with an exceptional teacher: meet the local Chef at La Soffitta cooking school and deepen into the roots of the traditional cuisine. A hand-on cooking experience to prepare three local dishes: fresh pasta, Risotto and a typical dessert, all paired with some good local wine. Just a sip of it to prepare your mouth for the real wine experience coming next.

Once back in the hotel, the dinner will be at leisure and do not forget to ask your guide for some advice, in the city there are a lot of interesting places offering high quality local wines.

A relaxing morning breakfast and a reinvigorating stroll to end this immersive holiday in Verona. You can have the last look at the Arena or take some time for a romantic walk to the panoramic Castel San Pietro and then, after collecting the luggage you’ll meet your driver for a transfer back to the station or airport.
