Verona Traditional Food Tour

As a city that dates back to the Romans, Verona is today an international tourism destination.
Situated along the banks of the meandering River Adige and surrounded by the hills on the northern side, this particular position determines its delightful harmony.


The monuments of eternal beauty such as the Arena and the places associated with the famous tragedy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, make this city one of the most romantic cities in Italy.
If you happen to visit Verona, you can see not only the historical and artistic beauties but also enjoy an excellent cuisine, which will not disappoint even the most demanding eaters.

 

Our food and wine tour will lead you to the discovery of Verona and its history through the
classic dishes of Veronese or “Scaliger” tradition (from the noble family of the Scaliger who were Lords of Verona) , starting from the classic aperitif, passing by a taste of risottos and fresh pasta, to arrive to the great classics of Veronese cuisine, such as the polenta, pastissada, pansfoglia or horse meat stew and the Veronese style codfish.


Taste the city with both eyes and palate!
