At Waystours, we believe that discovering a wine territory goes far beyond sipping in a cellar. It’s about walking or pedaling through the very landscapes that give life to each bottle—meeting the people who dedicate their lives to the vines, hearing their stories, and tasting their passion in every glass. That’s why we design immersive wine and nature experiences that connect travelers with the authentic beauty of Verona’s countryside, all while respecting the environment and supporting local communities.
Valpolicella Wine Tour by E-Bike
One of our most popular and beloved experiences is the Valpolicella Wine Tour by E-Bike, an eco-friendly and active way to explore this enchanting region. Riding through the gentle hills and lush vineyards on electric bikes allows guests to truly soak in the landscape—without the noise or emissions of motorized transport. The e-bikes make it easy to navigate even the more challenging routes, so participants of all fitness levels can enjoy the ride without stress.
Along the way, guests are guided through charming villages and historic estates, often hidden gems that escape the average tourist’s radar. Stops include visits to family-run wineries, where tradition and innovation coexist harmoniously. Here, visitors learn about the distinct production methods behind wines like Amarone, Ripasso, Valpolicella Classico, and the sweet Recioto. These wines tell the story of the land and the people, and during each tasting, that story comes to life.
What sets this tour apart is not only the scenic route, but also the direct connection with winemakers who prioritize sustainable viticulture. Many of these small producers follow organic or low-impact farming methods, avoiding synthetic chemicals and focusing on the health of the soil and vines. The result is not only better wine—but also a more resilient and balanced ecosystem.
Valpolicella Amarone Winery Visits
For those who prefer a more traditional approach, our Valpolicella Amarone Classic Winery Visits offer an elegant and educational experience. These tours bring guests into the heart of the Valpolicella Classica zone, where some of the region’s most prestigious wineries have been crafting wines for generations.
The highlight of these visits is often the “appassimento” process, a centuries-old technique used to dry the grapes before fermentation—an essential step in creating the rich, full-bodied Amarone wine. Visitors can see firsthand how the grapes are carefully laid out in drying lofts, sometimes for months, and learn how temperature, humidity, and time influence the final character of the wine.
During these intimate experiences, guests enjoy expert-led tastings in beautifully restored cellars, wine libraries, or even under pergolas surrounded by vines. The wines are paired with regional delicacies—aged cheeses, cured meats, olive oil, and fresh bread—allowing guests to appreciate the deep connection between the local cuisine and viticulture.
More than just a tasting, these visits are a window into the values of many winemakers in the region. Increasingly, estates are adopting biodynamic and regenerative farming methods, focusing on biodiversity, lunar cycles, and natural harmony. For visitors, this approach offers not only exceptional wine, but also a renewed sense of how deeply agriculture can be rooted in philosophy and care for the planet.
