Marano di Valpolicella

Nestled among the rolling green hills of the Valpolicella Classico zone just 20 minutes north of Verona, Marano di Valpolicella is one of the most authentic and peaceful wine villages in the region, where family-run estates like Guerrieri Rizzardi, Speri, Quintarelli, and Musella open their cellars for intimate tastings of world-renowned Amarone della Valpolicella, rich Ripasso, elegant Valpolicella Classico Superiore, and sweet Recioto wines made from the classic Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. Wander the quiet stone streets of the historic village center with its Romanesque parish church of San Giorgio and panoramic views over terraced vineyards, explore the scenic wine roads lined with olive groves and cherry orchards, or simply relax at a local enoteca with a glass of Amarone and a plate of soppressa salami amid warm Venetian hospitality, golden vineyard light, and the unmistakable sense of a place where time slows to the rhythm of the grape harvest.

Savor deep, velvety Amarone with dark cherry and spice notes, fresh Valpolicella paired with local cheeses, sweet Recioto with almond biscotti, and hearty pastissada de caval (horse stew) amid rolling hills, ancient stone walls, and the gentle warmth of a village that lives and breathes the finest wines of Valpolicella.

Marano di Valpolicella isn’t just a destination—it’s the authentic soul of Valpolicella wine country, a peaceful hillside escape of vineyards, history, and timeless Venetian elegance—plan your Marano di Valpolicella adventure today!
