Private Verona's History, Excellent Wine and Local Food Experience - from Sirmione
Verona’s historic streets, Roman landmarks, and long-standing culinary traditions come together on a guided walk that highlights the city’s layered past. Frescoed walls, ancient mosaics, and intricately carved stone portals illustrate the craftsmanship that has shaped Verona for centuries. Views toward the Adige River and its 2,000-year-old Roman bridge provide a striking connection to the city’s classical origins and to writers such as Catullus, who once walked the same paths.
The experience includes a pause in a traditional osteria, where travelers sample Amarone, one of Verona’s most celebrated wines, accompanied by a regional specialty. Away from the main streets, quieter lanes reveal stories tied to local devotion, family rivalries, and the city’s Jewish quarter, offering insight into chapters of Verona’s cultural history that are often overlooked.
The tour concludes in the vaulted cellar of a medieval palace, an atmospheric setting for a curated wine-and-food pairing that reflects the region’s rich gastronomic identity and enduring culinary heritage.
