TENUTA SANTA MARIA VALVERDE

About

Located in the rolling hills of the Valpolicella at 500 m above sea level, Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde is a family‑owned boutique winery that offers visitors an intimate taste of Veneto’s celebrated wine heritage. The estate, situated near Marano di Valpolicella and only 30 minutes from Verona, blends traditional vinification methods with modern sustainability practices, creating a unique terroir where the famous Amarone, Ripasso, and Valpolicella Superiore thrive. Visitors can tour the historic cellars, sample a range of crisp reds, and indulge in themed experiences such as truffle hunting, e‑bike vineyard rides, and cooking classes that showcase local gastronomy. The estate’s "Discover Valpolicella" tasting includes an agritourism excursion that takes guests through olive oil tastings, truffle walks, and electric‑bike tours of the vineyard landscape, all accompanied by freshly harvested Amarone. The generous hospitality team—nicknamed "la famiglia"—guides guests through the history of the property, sharing insights into centuries‑old traditions. Beyond wine, Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde also offers sustainable wine club tiers and gift vouchers, welcoming guests to enjoy four‑year old jars of premium vintages. Whether you’re a seasoned oenophile, a food‑loving couple, or a curious solo traveler, the winery’s relaxed yet refined atmosphere provides a memorable escape from the bustle of Verona, with expertly crafted wines, authentic local cuisine, and panoramic views of the Valpolicella hills.
