When the Moon Hit Your Eyes in Verona
April is an exceptionally pleasant month. Not only because the first warm rays of spring touch your face, but also because—year after year—Verona hosts one of the world’s most important wine events: Vinitaly. Verona itself is stunning. Not only for its Romeo and Juliet–like stage setting, nor just for the iconic Roman Arena that hosts world-class concerts. The entire region embodies everything we love about Italy: its wines, its rhythm, its style, and its way of life. At the Verona wine fair, the very best of Italian wineries are represented. The four days pass unbelievably fast. Visits to Verona, Padua, and Vicenza during this time turn the experience into something truly unforgettable—both from a wine and a culinary perspective. If you’re interested in attending this once-a-year festival, accommodation needs to be booked well in advance, especially if you want to stay in Verona itself. For those who are flexible, wonderful agriturismos can be found 15–30 km away. Surrounded by alder trees and Italian countryside in every direction, with the proximity of Lake Garda adding even more to the atmosphere. If you need help, information, or guided tastings of Valpolicella, Bardolino, Tuscany, or Puglia wines in April, feel free to reach out with confidence. Ciao — saluti e arrivederci a Verona!
