Chapter 01
Just above Verona, the landscape changes completely. The vineyards give way to mountain meadows, ancient forests, and stone villages where life still follows the rhythm of the seasons. This is Lessinia — and almost no tourist ever comes here.
Chapter 02
Traditional lunch
This experience is for the curious traveler who wants to go beyond wine and discover the full breadth of this territory's culinary heritage. With a local expert guide, you will visit artisanal producers who have been making cheese, curing meats, and keeping old traditions alive for generations.
Chapter 03
Every detail, handled.
You will taste Monte Veronese DOP — one of Italy's finest mountain cheeses — alongside cured meats, mountain honey, and seasonal dishes prepared the way they have always been prepared in these hills. A wine tasting completes the picture, showing how even the wines of Lessinia have their own distinct voice.
The experience concludes with a traditional lunch in a mountain setting that feels a world away from the tourist trail. For those who travel to truly discover, this is a day that cannot be replicated.
