Taste Amarone in the Valpolicella hills<\/h3>\r\nThe <strong>wines of Valpolicella<\/strong>, in the hills above Verona, are the Veneto's most famous: from <strong>basic Valpolicella<\/strong> up to the majestic <strong>Amarone della Valpolicella<\/strong>, a <strong>full-bodied red<\/strong> <strong>made from semi-dried grapes<\/strong> (the <em>appassimento<\/em> method). Tasting an Amarone Classico at the source is unforgettable.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>2. Discover Valpolicella Ripasso and Recioto<\/h3>\r\nBeyond Amarone, the same hills make the lighter <strong>red Valpolicella<\/strong>, the richer <strong>Valpolicella Ripasso<\/strong> (re-passed over Amarone skins), and the sweet <strong>Recioto<\/strong> dessert wine. A single estate visit can walk you through the whole family.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>3. Sip Soave in the eastern hills<\/h3>\r\nEast of Verona, the <strong>Soave<\/strong> zone makes one of Italy's classic <strong>dry white<\/strong> wines from the <strong>Garganega<\/strong> grape (with <strong>Trebbiano di Soave<\/strong>). Crisp, almond-scented and food-friendly \u2014 visit the hilltop <strong>Soave<\/strong> castle while you're there.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>4. Explore the Prosecco Hills<\/h3>\r\nNorth of Treviso, the <strong>Prosecco<\/strong> slopes of <strong>Conegliano<\/strong> and <strong>Valdobbiadene<\/strong> \u2014 a UNESCO World Heritage landscape \u2014 produce the world's favourite <strong>sparkling<\/strong> wine from the <strong>Glera<\/strong> grape.

Taste Bardolino on Lake Garda<\/h3>\r\nOn the <strong>shores of Lake Garda<\/strong>, the <strong>Bardolino<\/strong> appellation makes light, fresh reds and ros\u00e9s (Chiaretto) from the same Corvina-based blend as Valpolicella \u2014 perfect lakeside drinking in summer.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>6. Discover Lugana by the lake<\/h3>\r\nStraddling the southern shore of Lake Garda, <strong>Lugana<\/strong> makes a distinctive, age-worthy white from the Turbiana grape \u2014 one of northern Italy's quiet stars, and an easy add to a Bardolino visit.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>7. Visit the Colli Euganei near Padua<\/h3>\r\n<strong>Around Vicenza and Padua<\/strong>, the volcanic <strong>Colli Euganei<\/strong> hills make a range of reds and whites, including <strong>Cabernet<\/strong> and <strong>Merlot<\/strong> as well as local grapes \u2014 a lesser-known zone worth seeking out.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>8. Base yourself in Verona<\/h3>\r\nRomantic <strong>Verona<\/strong>, the city of Romeo and Juliet, is the perfect base for the Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino vineyards \u2014 all within a short drive \u2014 and a magnificent city in its own right.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>9. Combine wine with Venice and the art cities<\/h3>\r\nThe Veneto's <strong>cities of Venice and Verona<\/strong>, plus Vicenza and Padua, mean you never have to choose between wine and culture. A morning in the vineyards and an afternoon among Palladian villas is the Veneto way.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>10. Time your visit for the harvest<\/h3>\r\nThe Veneto <strong>vendemmia<\/strong> runs from the early Prosecco picking in late August to the late Amarone grapes left to dry into winter.
