Situated in Italy's beautiful province of Verona, the Valpolicella Wine Region is set just east of Lake Garda. Famous for its wine production, this prestigious viticultural area produces an array of wines including a renowned red wine known as Amarone Della Valpolicella made up of three locally grown grape varieties: Rondinella, Molinara, and Corvina Veronese. Valpolicella, meaning the ‘Valley of many Cellars’, is characterised by steep, vineyard-terraced slopes laced with bubbling mountain streams, scattered with a collection of picturesque Italian villages in the foothills of Monte Lessini. Highlights include: the Venetian Villas of San Pietro, the pretty hamlet of Marano, and the Roman ruins of nearby Verona. Visitors to Valpolicella can look forward to countless days sampling a wide selection of wine created from the traditional recipes of the Ancient Greeks while soaking up spectacular views.
