Are you planning a Wine Tour in Valpolicella? Here are three must-see stops to add to your bucket list.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

ust a few miles from the monumental charm of Verona and the shores of Lake Garda lies a region where vineyards have shaped the landscape for millennia. Valpolicella is the cradle of Veneto\u2019s great red wines: a treasure trove of biodiversity, history, architecture, and traditions that remain deeply alive today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a wine tour in Valpolicella<\/strong> means embarking on an immersive journey that seamlessly blends breathtaking scenery with authentic flavours. It is an experience tailored equally for dedicated wine lovers and those seeking genuine encounters with local wineries and landscapes. If you are wondering where to begin, we have selected three iconic stops that showcase the diverse soul of Valpolicella Classica<\/strong>, with a special focus on world-class winery hospitality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Giorgio di Valpolicella: One of Italy\u2019s Most Beautiful Villages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first stop on our itinerary starts from above, where the panoramic view offers a breathtaking sweep from the rolling vineyards below to the distant shores of Lake Garda. Perched on a rocky ridge, San Giorgio di Valpolicella<\/strong> is widely considered one of the country’s most picturesque villages. Historically, it was nicknamed Ingannapoltron<\/em><\/a> (“lazy man’s deception”) due to its seemingly short but steep climb that often tricked weary travellers in centuries past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Giorgio is a small village suspended in time, where local stone defines the history of every building. The crown jewel of the hamlet is the majestic Romanesque Pieve (parish church) of San Giorgio, dating back to the 8th century, which houses the famous Longobard ciborium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castelrotto: History and Sightseeing in the Heart of Valpolicella Classica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our itinerary continues through the hills and vine-covered slopes toward Castelrotto<\/strong>. If you are wondering what to see in Valpolicella<\/strong> to experience the true, authentic history of the region, this is an essential stop. Located in the heart of Valpolicella Classica<\/strong>, this charming hamlet within the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano is an ancient village of Roman and medieval origins, where time seems to slow down among historic stone architecture and traditional rural courtyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched in a privileged, panoramic position, Castelrotto offers spectacular views over an expanse of olive groves and vineyards \u2013 the very slopes that give life to Amarone and the great Veronese red wines. Thanks to its proximity to Verona, it serves as the perfect starting point for exploring the area, beautifully capturing the purest essence of wine tourism by blending rural beauty with the region\u2019s deep cultural roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cesari Experience: Tasting History in Fumane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There wouldn\u2019t be a wine tour in Valpolicella without a wine tasting<\/strong> near Verona. For the third and final stop on our journey, we look forward to welcoming you to the Cesari winery in Fumane di Valpolicella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to blend its architecture with the surrounding nature, our Fumane winery represents the Contemporary Soul of Cesari. Here, wines deeply rooted in the territory are crafted with a modern vision looking toward the future. Here are the tasting experiences we have designed for our guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to Classics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back to Classics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are discovering the wines of Valpolicella Classica for the first time, we highly recommend the Back to Classics<\/strong><\/a> experience. This 90-minute tour begins in the cellar, where you will visit the Cesari Fruttaio <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 our signature grape drying loft where the clusters undergo the appassimento<\/em> process to give birth to iconic wines like Amarone della Valpolicella<\/strong>. To complete the tour, you will taste three labels that represent our modern interpretation of the region’s traditional styles: Valpolicella Classico, Valpolicella Ripasso, and Amarone<\/strong> from the Cesari Classics line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosan Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a more intimate, immersive journey or an experience tailored for discerning wine lovers, the Bosan Experience<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is the perfect choice. The tour includes a visit to the Bosan vineyard in Marano di Valpolicella<\/strong>, continues into the cellar, and culminates in the exclusive Bosan Caveau<\/strong>. This exclusive room treasures the historic vintages of our namesake Amarone, the peak expression of our production. Here, you will taste the three pillars of the Bosan line: Valpolicella Superiore, Ripasso Superiore, and Amarone Classico Riserva<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
