PRIVATE - Vineyards Tour, Wine Tasting and Light Lunch
Step into the soul of Valpolicella with a gentle walk through our vineyards, where stories of origins and traditions are shared right among the vines. The path will lead you from our historic vineyard to the family orchard, a place alive with colors and scents. In summer, from June to August, you’ll even be able to pick a peach straight from the tree and savor its freshness — a simple, authentic pleasure.
We will then guide you into the vineyard of 1967, where the Fugolo family discovered century-old vines that still stand today, guardians of a winemaking tradition deeply rooted in this land. Here, every step feels like traveling back in time, immersed in the beauty and history of Valpolicella.
The experience continues in the tasting room, where Sofia, daughter of Gianluca Fugolo, welcomes you with the warmth of true family hospitality. Together with her father and sister, she carries forward the passion and dedication of the family winery.
Your journey will end with a sensory celebration: a tasting of our extra virgin olive oil from the rolling morainic hills of Lake Garda, paired with five of our finest wines:
Rosé Brioso IGT Frizzante, lively and refreshing
Corvina Veronese IGT, the soul of our territory
Valpolicella Superiore Classico DOC, elegant and balanced
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, intense and full-bodied
Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, paired with our homemade red wine cookies for a perfect sweet finale
To complete the experience, a platter of local cold cuts and cheeses, enhanced by our artisanal jams, will celebrate the authentic flavors of the region.
An experience of nature, tradition, and taste — a journey you will carry in your heart long after the last sip.
