Itinerary
Follow your local foodie, live a one-of-a-kind experience and, just like a real local, start your day in the right way drinking an authentic Italian espresso. This is how this culinary journey begins and after a brief stroll near majestic Arena, you'll deepen into the original local delicacies.
After a very Italian beginning, a classic aperitif is waiting for you. You'll stop in one of the most traditional "Osterie" of the city, where you will savor some local products, such as Soppressa (a type of salami), Monte Veronese cheese and the famous cicchetti from Verona.
Then discover the aromas and main features of the traditional local wines, such as the Valpolicella red wine, or the white wines coming from the East of Verona and Lake Garda.
The next step will make your mouth water: enjoy a traditional dish and discover some local culinary traditions with your expert guide. Continue your visit in the food district of Verona, where the most "Osterie" and botteghe are located
Finally, stop in an historical Gelateria to taste a yummy artisanal Gelato to refresh your mouth. This tour will allow you to see Verona from a brand-new perspective, made of great simplicity and unique flavors.

Food and Wine Tour
As it turned out, we had a private tour with Romina and enjoyed it very much. She is very knowledgeable about Verona, the history, architecture, food and wine. We especially enjoyed the risotto, wine tasting and true gelato. We highly recommend this tour.
Delicious tour of Verona!
Romina was a friendly, engaging host who took us around Verona explaining lots of interesting facts and historical information. All the food and drink we had was absolutely delicious. A great way to sample some local delicacies whilst learning some history.
