It was so surprising me that, this region, Valpolicella, has already 2000 years history of winemaking culture! The name "Valpolicella " could be one little evidence. The word "Valpolicella" is come from Ancient Greek and Latin, means "Valley of many cellars". It's located at Northern Italy, between the Garda lake, the largest lake in Italy, and Verona, the romantic town of Romeo and Juliet. One of the top Italian red wine, Amarone, exactly comes from there!

At Valpolicella, you could learn the art of making Italian wines, by joining guided-tour at some local wineries . You could taste not only Amarone, but also other famous local wines such as Valpolicella Ripasso and Recioto. You could enjoy a lunch break for tasting some typical Veronese dishes, under a relax atmosphere, to experience the Italian "slow-food" idea.
