It was a wonderful experience! From the warm welcome by the lovely Hilária to the actual tour. The place is magical. Truffle hunting was a delightful moment, and watching the beautiful and clever little dog search for truffles was so much fun. Afterward, I took a tour of the property, tasted the wines, indulged in the boutique wines they produce, and enjoyed a delicious pasta with truffles. I was warmly welcomed, heard stories, and learned a lot! The owner, a wine enthusiast, shared insights about Amarone and its history. In summary, if you appreciate a boutique, authentic, and special experience, don't miss visiting! I will cherish great memories. A heartfelt thank you once again for the hospitality.

From the moment you arrive to every minute you spend in Santa Maria Valverde - it is time filled with knowledge, beauty and wonderful tastes. The truffle hunting experience is made special by three things: a very knowledgeable host, fantastic lively and hard working dog (Brozie) and the pasta you have afterwords with the truffles. Nothing is too much for the family who run this vineyard: from delicious food to mini lessons in wine making to the tour of the Amarone prosecution. The wine itself is out of this world. You learn a lot, you laugh a lot and you spend every minute in the most friendly and beautiful atmosphere. Special thank you to Cicillia (it was her second day working) who gave us a wealth of knowledge about the love and care that goes into making the wine. Cicillia-you were great! Thank you all very much for an experience that will stay with us for years to come!

An amazing trip - highly recommend!!! The vineyard and the line were amazing and the hosts awesome as well. The wine and food were awesome and the hike and truffle hunt were equally amazing. We recommend you take this trip! We were staying in Verona at the time and this was exceptional!

Our time at the Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde was the highlight of our trip to Italy. With stunning views and the friendliest customer service, we would highly recommend this experience. We were so delighted when the lagotto found the truffle! And the homemade truffle pasta lunch and wine was delicious. We will cherish these memories.

This was great! Everything! The hunting, even though the truffels was "piccolino" :-) Fantastic place, hospitality and atmosphere. We loved every second.

It was an amazing experience! Our children were totally obsessed with the dogs - so friendly and calm. The views throughout the journey were also outstanding. Our hosts were very proffesional, helpful and they told us many interesting things about the vineyard, wines and about the whole region. Wine Tasting in the end was like a cherry on top ;)

Absolutely amazing day with Jacopo and his family! The vineyard is stunning, and the wine just wonderful. We were sitting out on the terrace looking out over the hills of Valpolicella, and Jacopo and the owner Nikola gave us explanations about the wine after giving us a tour of the wine making facilities. The family was super flexible, for instance one of our friends is vegan so they made the gorgeous truffle meal vegan for him. The communication with the hosts was great beforehand. We went home with some bottles for ourselves and family and amazing memories. We would highly recommend this tour!

We went truffle hunting and wine tasting. It was a small group led by the truffle hunter and Jacopo and of course the truffle dog. Afterwards we got to eat a truffle on some pasta they cooked and tasted two of their wines. All very nice.

Jacopo and Anna were perfect hosts. We began with the truffle search with Miro and his dog Zag, followed by a delicious lunch and wine tasting. So good that we ordered a case of wine!

This experience was absolutely incredible! We had a wonderful time with Jacopo and the truffle hunter. It was a unique experience that we would not be able to find on our own. Ilaria is a great host - so friendly and knowledgeable. They shared their wisdom one-on-one with us, answering all our questions, and were attentive to all our needs. Best of all was wine tasting in the winery, their family business, and eating the truffles: amazing!! The truffles with a glass of Amarone were exquisite. We enjoyed it on an amazing terrace on Valpolicella hills, another highlight of the winery. It truly was one of the most unique and cool activities I have ever done.
