October 2024

If during your stay in Verona you are looking for an authentic experience that combines history, tradition and memorable landscapes, visiting a winery in Valpolicella is always a great choice.

This splendid area of Veneto is internationally known for its fine wines, in particular Amarone and Ripasso. A tour through the vineyards of Valpolicella is therefore a true journey into the heart of Italian viticulture.

Among the many businesses in the area, we suggest Farina Wines, a historic company that has been producing top-quality wines for generations. A true excellence of our territory.

Valpolicella: land of vineyards and traditions

In Valpolicella the rural landscape and wine culture are inextricably intertwined, offering those who visit this area the opportunity to discover not only exceptional wines, but also the history and traditions of one of Italy’s oldest wine-producing areas. Here native varieties such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara are grown, which form the basis of the region’s most popular wines.

Farina Wines: Tradition and Innovation

Since the early 1900s, Farina Wines has been synonymous with quality and passion for viticulture. Most of the production is concentrated on lands of the Valpolicella Classica, the area that includes the municipalities of Fumane, Marano di Valpolicella, Negrar, San Pietro in Cariano and Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella.

The Farina family has passed down the secrets of winemaking from generation to generation, preserving their roots in the territory, yet investing in innovation. This balance between tradition and modernity makes Farina wines unique in their kind, appreciated in Italy and abroad for their elegance and complexity.

Visiting Farina Wines means immersing yourself in a full sensory journey: from the visit to the vineyards, where you can admire the meticulous work of cultivation, to the cellar, where the winemaking processes are illustrated in detail. The guided tour allows you to learn about the techniques used to produce some of the most appreciated wines of Valpolicella, such as Amarone, Valpolicella Classico Superiore and Ripasso. You will have the opportunity to visit the oldest cellar, with traditional wooden barrels, and the modern one, which showcases innovative ceramic and concrete barrels.

Each stage of the process is a testament to the care and attention that Farina dedicates to creating wines that tell the story of an extraordinary land.

Wine tasting and local flavors

The visit to Farina Wines ends with a wine tasting, an awaited moment for those who want to fully savor the excellence of the territory. The winery offers the possibility to taste a selection of its best products, combined with local cold cuts and cheese that enhance the characteristics of each wine.

In addition to the standard tasting itinerary, you can also choose the one including a light lunch or an e-bike tour.
