In this tour - but that's just one of the experiences you can live with Pagus - we will take you to an extraordinary land called Valpolicella. Its wine is considered legendary since Roman times. You’ll learn about the history of our wines and of this great territory. On Valpolicella wine route you will admire panoramic views of hills and vineyards, with a stop at the hamlet of San Giorgio di Valpolicella.
Moreover, during the tasting in a local cellar, you will discover the entire range of Valpolicella wines DOC (Controlled Denomination of Origin) and DOCG (Controlled and Guaranteed Denomination of Origin) such as Valpolicella, Ripasso, his majesty Amarone and Recioto.
Join our half day wine tour (around 3,5 hours) developed for those who want to spend an afternoon far from the town, in the calm countryside, tasting good wine with the company of other wine lovers.
