Mizzon's Tradition Experience: Organic Wine Tasting with Food Pairing in Valpolicella Classica

Your visit to Azienda Agricola Mizzon, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area, begins with a personal welcome from a member of the Mizzon family. The experience starts with a walk through the estate's organic vineyards, where you will learn about the local terroir and the traditional cultivation methods they use. The tour continues inside the winery, with a visit to the historic cellar and the barrel room. You will also see the traditional 'appassimento' loft, where grapes for Amarone and Recioto are left to dry naturally on bamboo racks. The Mizzon family will explain their winemaking philosophy, including the use of terracotta amphorae for aging certain wines to add complexity. After the tour, you will be guided to the tasting room. Here, a member of the family will lead a tasting of four representative wines: a Pinot Grigio, a Valpolicella Ripasso, an Amarone, and a Recioto della Valpolicella. The wines will be paired with a platter of local products, including Monte Veronese cheese and Verona salami. This experience offers a complete immersion into the traditions of Valpolicella, from the vineyard to the glass, guided by the family that produces these wines.
