Reviews
The only reason I would not give this trip five stars is because it is more of an introductory-level wine tasting to familiarize people with Amarone, more than for serious wine connoisseurs. I would liken it to going to Peju or Cakebread in Napa instead of Opus One or Grgich, if that makes sense. Good, but not premium. The tour was very punctual and you must be on time in the morning. We waiting for 10 minutes for a couple that didn't show and then left, so be on time! There were four of us in total who booked and showed up so you will be mixed with other couples but I think the maximum group size would be 7 or 8.
The driver had a clean and comfortable vehicle for the five of us. He tended to speak only to the front passengers but was always pleasant and answered out questions. I would recommend this tour.
