Venture to the heart of Italy's verdant Valpolicella Classica, near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Verona and the serene waters of Lake Garda. Here lies the historic Estate owned by Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani winemakers, a beacon of viticultural excellence. Embark on a journey through time as our knowledgeable guides lead you through the estate's frescoed chamber, once graced by the musings of poets within the Romantic Park.

The tour unveils the time-honored process of drying grapes in the historic 'fruttaio,' a practice integral to crafting the robust Amarone della Valpolicella. Descend into the monumental cellar, a cathedral of wine aging, where secrets of the vine's alchemy are whispered in the quiet.
