About this activity

This is a tour that allows you to visit the most prestigious areas of Verona: Lake Garda and Valpolicella, on the same day. We will leave Verona at 9.00 am, and we will immediately head to Sirmione, a suggestive peninsula that extends into the southern part of Lake Garda. There we will take you on a motorboat ride and we will discover by boat a part of Grotte di Catullo, ancient Roman ruins. In case of rain, we will visit the medieval castle which dates back to the 13th century.

There will then be some free time to walk in the historic center of Sirmione, before moving to visit a winery and you will finally taste the entire range of Valpolicella DOC and DOCG wines paired with an Italian light lunch. You will try extraordinary wines such as Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone and Recioto, with their different styles, and discover more about their differences and characteristics. During the journey you will always be accompanied by the fantastic scenery of our hills and their vineyards!
