Enhancing the occasion, you’ll be treated to a privately guided journey through Valpolicella’s most revered vineyards, famed for producing Amarone wines of bold complexity and elegance. Your base for this indulgent escape is the five-star Due Torri Hotel, a masterpiece of heritage hospitality in the heart of Verona’s historic centre.

It’s a short escape, but every detail has been chosen to make it feel timeless."
