About this tour
This call is a planning session for anyone wanting to fit the Valpolicella wine hills into a short Verona trip. I talk through the area on a shared map and explain the difference between Valpolicella and Amarone, the region's best known wines. By the end you have a short plan matched to how much time you actually have.
We start with a sound check, then I bring up the map and talk through the hills and the towns within them. You can stop me with questions about the wines or the area as we go, and I adjust the plan to fit your trip. Afterwards I send the plan again in writing.
It suits anyone with an interest in wine who wants local advice before deciding how to spend the time. It also works well booked a few days before you travel.

- A 30-minute call with a local guide

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Verona: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
