The Verona Arena
This is a 3-night luxury wine and opera tour for up to 14 people . The tour is based in the exquisite , historic , small city of Verona , which is so eminently explorable on foot , yet during the day you will explore the vineyards of several northern Italian wine regions from Soave to Valpolicella to the lesser known Lugana and Colli Euganei . The Veneto is a region with wildly opposing styles of wines , from the crisp elegant whites of Lugana or Soave , a far cry from jug wines of trattorias of days gone by , today making enticing elegant white wines , through to one of Italy ’ s most iconic wines – the rich seductive Amarone . During our stay we will be tasting a delightful range of wines – including cheery bright Valpolicella , Ripasso and irresistible dessert wine , all of which will be paired with local specialities such as risotto from the nearby rice fields of the region through to fish caught in Lake Garda , Europe ’ s largest lake . 2023 is the centennial season of the Verona opera festival , held in the Verona Arena , the city ’ s Roman amphitheatre . You can choose to attend one , two or three performances during your stay in Verona and there is a choice of seating . Performances start late ( 20.45 ) as dusk falls over the medieval Piazza Bra , in the heart of Verona where a multinational opera-loving crowd mingles . In the mornings , there will be leisurely starts after a late night at the Opera !
