Remind of Excursions! 8th EuroMed Conference Verona 2015

Excursion 1- Valpolicella: an itinerary between wines, history and art

Valpolicella is the hilly region north-west of Verona between the town and Lake Garda. It is an amazing destination a day trip. The name Valpolicella has probably Roman origins in the words Valle poli cellae, in latin “valley of the many cellars”, proving the ancient wine making tradition of this area. Here it was produced a red wine, sweet and very concentrated, called Acinatico or Retico, that the Romans drunk adding water and spices.
Even if Valpolicella is known all over the world for its famous wines, its territory is made of beautiful landscapes, sweet hills that become mountains as you move north, valleys with old villages, gorgeous villas, medieval churches, making it a tourist destination in its own.
During your guided tour you will admire vineyards and cellars enjoying a tasting of the best wines: Valpolicella Classico, Valpolicella Superiore, Recioto, and of course the Amarone, the “king of Valpolicella”, one of the most appreciated Italian wines. You will pair the wine tasting tour with the visit of beautiful ancient churches going back to Roman Age and gorgeous villas, many of which nowadays host famous wineries.
