Veneto is a northeastern Italian region stretching from the Dolomite Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. Venice, its regional capital, is famed for its canals, Gothic architecture and Carnival celebrations. Veneto was part of the powerful Venetian Republic for more than 1,000 years, between the 7th and 18th centuries. Near alpine Lake Garda, medieval Verona is known as the setting of Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet.”
​
Verona is our focal point of this VIP tour. Many of the wineries, attractions and hot-spots are close to this famous city. From both sides of Lake Garda, the hills of Valpolicella, to Venice, to Bassano this trip is a must! Meet iconic wine makers in the Amarone world, tour the oldest Grapperia in all of Italy, to mountain top volcanic vineyards in Colli Euganei.
