This tour around Verona’s and the Veneto region’s culinary delights begins buffet breakfast in our breakfast room. You can continue your culinary journey at lunch and dinner during the winter months at our Bistrot al 2 and during the summer months also at the Panoramic Terrace which affords a new vision of the town with views stretching from Torre dei Lamberti to the cathedral, from Castel San Pietro to the Torricelle with its gentle hills and the waters of the Adige river acting as scenic backdrop and soundtrack.

The Verona area is one of Italy’s most famous for top quality vineyards making fine wines, famous the world over.

Verona’s wine road follows a series of itineraries and roads along which visitors discover the area’s natural, cultural and environmental values and its vineyards and estates which welcome in tourists in search of the wonders the land offers: Valpolicella, Bardolino and Amarone are just some of the main DOC Protected Designation of Origin produced in the Verona area.

And neighbouring Franciacorta, the hilly area between Brescia and the southern tip of Lake Iseo, is one of Italy’s largest sparkling wine making areas.

Valpolicella is the home of Valpolicella Superiore and Ripasso, sweet Recioto and the ultra-famous Amarone. Bardolino DOC, on the other hand, is grown in Verona province and more precisely in the south-eastern part of Lake Garda in the area between Peschiera, Bardolino and Castelnuovo.

This profusion of delicacies, above all in wine terms, means that there are many possible food and wine itineraries in Verona province and Hotel Due Torri’s staff is on hand for any information you may need or to organise a made-to-measure food and wine tour comprising guided visits to the wine estates and towns where some of Italy’s finest wines are made or personalised and private cooking lessons to learn about the Veneto’s culinary culture.

NATURE & CARS tour

Cultural rafting on the Adige offers an original and safe way to discover Verona from the river, amidst evocative views and unusual vantage points. In the Lessinia Park you can enjoy an excursion immersed in nature, among history, landscapes and typical flavours such as Monte Veronese DOP and olive oil. Finally, the Nicolis Museum houses an extraordinary collection of vintage cars that tell the story of the evolution of engines and their impact on society and culture.
