Organic Wine Tasting with Local Delicacies at Eleva in Valpolicella

The Eleva estate is located about 22 km away from Verona, in the Valpolicella Classica area. Your tasting is hosted personally by one of the owners: Davide Gaeta, who manages sales and communication, or Raffaella Veroli, the estate's oenologist.

The experience begins on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, where you'll learn about the physiology of the vine, the local terroir, and the role of biodiversity in organic viticulture. The visit continues into the winery and the barrel cellar to explore Eleva's winemaking methods and the process of aging in wood.

Your guided tasting features four of the estate's organic wines. In the tasting room, you will sample Fralibri Valpolicella DOC Classico, followed by Tenzone Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore, a wine refermented on Amarone pomace for greater complexity. The tasting continues with Piovesole Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico, made from dried grapes, and concludes with Cercastelle Rosso Veronese IGT.

The wines are served with a platter of traditional local products, including Monte Veronese cheese at three or four different stages of aging, Soppressa Veronese, and a selection of other cured meats like mortadella, coppa, or pancetta, alongside baked goods.

For a deeper exploration, you can add a glass of Recioto della Valpolicella Classica, paired with three different sweet and savory bites. Children are welcome and will be served a platter of local products with water.
