There is an Italy that tells its story with a glass in hand. From the city of the world’s most famous lovers to the hills where great red wines are born, from the gentle shores of a lake to its olive groves, all the way to the sparkling hills and the canals of Venice: a slow journey of wine, flavours and love, made for two.
Days 1–2 – Welcome to Verona
Arrival in the city of Romeo and Juliet and check-in at an elegant residence in the historic centre. Strolls through medieval squares, Renaissance palaces and the famous balcony, a sunset aperitivo overlooking the rooftops and a romantic dinner in a historic trattoria. A morning among the market stalls and the secrets of Veronese cuisine, hands in the dough alongside a chef.
Day 3 – Vineyards and Venetian villas
Up into the hills of Valpolicella, where grapes are left to rest and dry before becoming one of Italy’s most celebrated wines. A visit to a family winery with a guided tasting, lunch among the vines and time to fall for a Venetian villa surrounded by vineyards.
Day 4 – The lovers’ lake
The gentle shores of the lake, with fishing villages, lemon houses and olive groves. An extra virgin olive oil tasting in an old mill, a private sunset boat trip and a candlelit dinner by the water, paired with the lake’s white and rosé wines.
Day 5 – A toast among the hills
Across the Veneto to the UNESCO World Heritage hills, steep slopes hand-drawn by vineyards. A sparkling wine tasting at a panoramic winery, a simple, genuine lunch in a country osteria and a walk among the vines, glass always in hand.
Days 6–7 – Among calli and canals
The last stop is the most romantic city in the world. A gondola ride through hidden canals, a bacari tour to discover cicchetti and small glasses of wine just like the Venetians, and a farewell dinner overlooking the lagoon. On the last day, free time before departure.
