Some reviews:

Reservations were easy to make and we arrived 15 minutes before the tour left. Our guide, Manon, was friendly, knowledgeable, an excellent driver and she spoke English, French and Italian. There was one other couple besides the 2 of us. The scenery along the drive was beautiful. The winery she selected was small and intimate. The owner sat with us and we enjoyed 5 bottles of wine among the 5 of us…of course, the driver does not drink. His valpolicella and amarone were delicious. The weather was sunny and mild. There was a sudden downpour when we arrived back in Verona and our guide graciously offered to drive us directly to our hotel, which was unexpected and very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Pagus.

A very interesting and entertaining tour, accompanied by a knowledgeable and helpful guide. The visit to the village of San Giorgio was truly rewarding thanks to the panoramic views, the geographical insights, and the beautiful church. We visited the winery under the guidance of a very warm and experienced winemaker. The tasting featured excellent wines paired with delicious local cold cuts and cheeses! A wonderful experience! :-)

A great way to spend the afternoon. Our tour guide was friendly and patient. After a 30 minute drive to San Giorgio, and a brief orientation to the Valpolicella wine region, we had a short drive to a lovely, small winery nearby and tasted a great range of wines, from Valpolicella Superiore, to Amarone. There were some nice snacks that accompanied the wines, and a brief, helpful tour of the vineyards from our host at the winery. Our driver was nice enough to drop us off directly at our apartment in Verona. A fine time was had by all.
