Pagus’s mission has always been to promote and raise awareness of the Verona territory, particularly Valpolicella, where this adventure began. Our commitment is to help you discover this wonderful region and introduce you to the people who live and work here, producing the prestigious wines that have made it famous worldwide.
While we love taking you on visits to small and young producers, equally exciting is the opportunity to meet the wineries and families who have shaped Valpolicella’s history. For this reason, we’ve created an exclusive, completely customizable tour to help you discover the Valpolicella estates that most intrigue you. “Amarone Grand Cru” will open the doors to the most prestigious estates in the Amarone region, for private tours and tastings tailored to your interests.
Some examples? Names like Giuseppe Quintarelli and Romano Dal Forno need no introduction, renowned worldwide for their extraordinarily intense and characterful wines. The historic Bertani winery in Grezzana will take you back in time to discover the origins of Amarone, offering the chance to taste iconic vintages that continue to perform at their best even after many years. Tommaso Bussola, on the other hand, is one of the finest representatives of the richness of the Negrar valley, with his Amarones and Reciotos of great depth and extreme smoothness. Allegrini will surprise you with more contemporary interpretations of Valpolicella, seeking to maximize the terroir of individual vineyards. Even more unconventional, venture into the depths of Zymē, an ancient Eocene limestone quarry, now home to Celestino Gaspari’s visionary winery.
This tour is tailor-made from start to finish for an even more exclusive experience: the wineries to visit, the type of tasting, the vehicle you’ll use for transportation. Discover all the details on the dedicated page on our website, and don’t hesitate to contact us for more information!
To make your day even more unforgettable, combine your winery tours with dinner or lunch at one of the city’s most renowned restaurants, Ristorante Maffei. Treat yourself to a tasting menu designed by the executive chef in an exceptional location: the Giulietta e Romeo table for two, lit by candlelight and overlooking the ruins of the ancient Roman Capitolium! The experience includes a private waiter, the option of custom flower arrangements, and the option to enhance the atmosphere with your favorite background music.
