People are at the heart of our work: the wine territories are made up of people who take care of them, the same care, dedication and attention that we put into building meaningful relationships with producers, guests and friends.
A native of Valpolicella, Davide is the soul and founder of Pagus Wine Tours. His vision took shape at the University of Verona with a thesis in Letters on wine production and stone extraction in Roman times, followed by specialization at CUOA Business School in the valorization of Veneto’s cultural and tourist heritage. He is the pioneer who transformed historical research into a holistic wine tourism model, capable of conveying the cultural complexity of the Scaliger territory.
Having led over a thousand guided tours in Valpolicella, Soave, Lugana, and the sparkling wine areas of Franciacorta, Prosecco, and Trento DOC, Davide blends technical precision with the narrative sensitivity of a lecturer and documentary maker. As the driving force behind Pagus, he trains our team and guarantees a quality that intertwines historical roots and wine culture, offering our guests a deep and technically impeccable understanding of every territory visited.
Anna is the guide who transforms every sip into a story. Born and raised among the vineyards of Valpolicella, she combines a deep connection to her land with solid technical expertise as a nationally licensed Tour Leader and a certified WSET Level 2 professional.

With over 700 wine tours, Anna is a true point of reference for our guests. Her ability to blend historical insight with wine expertise has made her the most frequently mentioned expert by those who wish to discover the authentic soul and outstanding wines of Verona.
Aurora is the face of hospitality and the first point of contact for those who want to discover our territory. A native of Verona, she lives in Sant’Ambrogio, at the heart of Valpolicella Classica, allowing her to recommend the most authentic experiences and scenic routes with precision.
