Additional Information

The vines in our vineyard have an average age of 30-50 years and are grown using the traditional “pergola veronese” or “filare speronato” (guyot) techniques.

All aspects of our wine production process are carried out within the bounds of our family-owned farm, Agricola Franchini. The value of tradition and pride stemming from the nurturing of our own vineyards is invaluable, hence every field task, from the trimming to natural fertilization, is undertaken by hand, displaying patience and reverence for the environment. Therefore, we prioritize these elements above all.

  • Spanish and French language available, on request some days in advance
  • You will be able to take cutting boards of top cured meats and cheese on the spot, at the cost of 5 euros per person
  • Please note that the cellar is not in Verona. You should go there with car or with taxi (20 min from Verona)
  • Free for kids (0-17) and for who do not drinks wine: you will pay only the food you will order for them, at the meeting point
  • Please communicate any food intolerance
  • If you need a taxi you can also call Taxi Valpolicella

Great for couples - I really enjoyed this wine tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and had great energy. The wines we tasted were very very good and all different in taste and process. We bought one cheese and meat platter for 2 people and it was more than enough. We bought some wines and home made cherry jam at the end and the lady even called a taxi for us. I’d definitely come back!

Boutique Vinyard for amazing Amarone - FRANCHINI was absolutely perfect. Fantastic amarone and a true winery. We were looking for the “story” behind the heart of the wine and they certainly delivered. One of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Italy. We will be purchasing our wine from Franchini for years to come. Thank you!

Good Winetasting if just red wine with a short walk in the winefield - The winetasting was really nice and the host really could answer us all the questions. Because I already did some winetasting i was a little disappointed that we couldn’t see how they prepare the wine
