Appassimento in valpolicella

If you ask our customers, we have always adopted a different kind of approach to wine visits: small groups, slow pace through vineyards and cellars, focus on people involved in wine production,. A smart experience mixed of fine wines and food with arguments and insights about the complexity of Valpolicella wines.

Wineries are among the best places where recovering after the long lockdown: distancing is easy, there’s always enough room for everybody. Wine tastings are held where hygiene is long-time standard, and you can stay safely eating food in the opens or inside as well: distance is not a problem in a place that doesn’t need to squeeze people in small room for profit or convenience.

And being not-a-big-company (so: no employees) we can assure safe and clean approach in any aspects of the visit: the car, the winery or the restaurant.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we adopted an internal protocol that informs how we abide by the recommendations Public Health Authorities for its clients as well as for winery employees. These recommendations include: 

• sufficient personal protective equipment for everybody involved in all activities;

• stock of single-use cleaning materials, including single-use cleaning wipes moistened with disinfectant, bleach and alcohol at 70º;

• dispensers of alcohol-based antiseptic solution or alcohol-based solution;

• at the time of booking, customers will immediately receive via email: how to comply with basic precautions for prevention and infection control in relation to the coronavirus outbreak.

• social safety distance of 2 meters are maintained between customers and winery employees within the premises;

• two-thirds maximum occupancy of all transport in all tourism activities;

• compliance with internal hygiene and safety protocols by all partners involved in our activities.

This is our best effort to guarantee to everybody a “clean and safe” experience during winery visits in Valpolicella.

Valpolicella stretches 25km from west to east and 12km from north to south. The city of Verona is found in the south in the middle of a complex system of valleys that flow from north (Monti Lessini) to south. The Adige River limits Valpolicella in its western and southern sides. 

Usually, we divide Valpolicella into three parts: the historical part, called “Valpolicella Classica”, the Valpantena valley in the middle and the eastern part called “Valpolicella Doc” or “Big Valpolicella”, because its extension is bigger. In all of these more than 2 hundred wineries are found; most of them are family-run, in nice buildings more or less old, but some of them are quite interesting because they are hosted in ancient manors…".
