5 Great winery tour and tasting ()Very interesting tour through the winery and museum with lots of old tools. For the tasting we had three white wines, two red wines, the Amarone is wonderful and a Wermut which has 80% Amarone, incredibly tasty. Our tour guide was very nice and knew a lot about the wines and how they are made.

5 Fine wine and lovely experience (LAURA)We had a charming wine tasting at a beautiful cantina with Lara, one of the owners of the winery. We tasted six wines, accompanied by various breads, cheeses and chocolate. The wines run the range from pino grigio to amarone. Lara clearly explained the process for making each, in excellent English. We highly recommend a visit here.

5 Molto soddisfatta (Ilaria)Visita molto piacevole, interessante ma senza appesantire il visitatore. Il personale (ragazzi giovani energici e competenti) è molto gentile, preparato e simpatico. La cantina è bellissima, pulita e molto curata. La degustazione è stata davvero soddisfacente con ottimi vini giovani ed eleganti (che abbiamo poi acquistato) accompagnati da un tagliere con salumi e formaggi di ottima qualità molto abbondante. Consiglio vivamente la visita e la degustazione

5 Una proposta molto originale e riuscita (Federico)Incuriositi dal nome accattivante della proposta, siamo stati accolti con cordialità in una cascina fuori Verona. L'esperienza è stata molto particolare ed originale, la filosofia è quella di accostare il carattere dei vini proposti (due bollicine, un bianco e due rossi) a delle playlist scaricabili da un QR code stampato sulle etichette dei vini, molto belle ed originali anch'esse insieme ai nomi dei vini. La musica va dal rilassato delle bollicine di un aperitivo al vigoroso dei vini rossi. Un'ora e mezza di piacevole conversazione sulle particolarità di vini e musica. Esperienza sicuramente consigliata!
