Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
Head west from the city along the SR11 and, within 15 km, the Valpolicella Classica rises toward Negrar, Marano, and Fumane, from 120 to 450 meters. Amarone starts with patient intent: appassimento. Clusters rest through autumn in airy fruttai—think Santa Maria di Negrar or the ridges above Marano—then are pressed in winter. You trace marl and basalt slopes, old Veronese pergolas, and cellars dating back to 1936. The day connects the grape’s seasons: multi‑vintage Amarone verticals, attic‑drying rooms, and lunch in a Venetian villa among vines.
Logistics stay effortless: hotel pick‑up, a Mercedes at your disposal, and driving handled while you taste. With a private chauffeur in Valpolicella, you weave between traditional fruttai and modern cellars; timings flex, lunch is secured, and two historic estates let you compare style and site. A quiet cut via Arbizzano to reach Fumane, then back by Pedemonte. You focus on the glass; the bottles ride home cool in the trunk.
