Private Blind Wine Tasting & Cicchetti with a Certified Sommelier in Verona

In a stylish wine boutique in Verona's historic center, you'll be welcomed by a certified sommelier who will guide you through this sensory experience. The session begins with hands-on aroma training. Using a set of curated aroma jars, you will learn to identify specific notes of spices, herbs, fresh fruits, and toasted nuances, developing your aromatic memory just like a professional taster.

Next, you'll cover the fundamentals of wine evaluation, learning how to recognize color, structure, balance, and complexity in a clear, accessible way. The main event is a blind tasting of four carefully selected Italian wines: a Prosecco DOCG, a Soave Classico DOC, a Valpolicella Superiore DOC, and an Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. Without visual cues, your other senses are sharpened, allowing you to focus entirely on the aromas, textures, and flavor profiles.

The wines are paired with refined cicchetti to enhance their characteristics: a crostino with smoked salmon and fresh cream cheese, a breadstick with 24-month-aged Prosciutto di Parma, and aged Redivino cheese from the Corrado Benedetti selection. At the end of the tasting, you will receive a personalized certificate signed by the sommelier as a keepsake of your experience.
