VALPOLICELLA 
... from the ancient name “Val Polis Cellae” meaning the valley of many wine cellars.
Never has a name so beautifully summed up an area given that the Valpolicella area is home to some of Italy and the World’s finest wines.
A series of small valleys, the Valpolicella area which nestles in the shade of the spectacular Monte Baldo, slopes from the Lessini mountains in the Northern Alps down to the river Adige which circles the beautiful , romantic city of Verona in the South.
With its excellent climate and typical Italian rustic landscape, the area has been a favourite holiday destination since Renaissance times when many rich and noble Veronese and Venetian families built their elegant classical style Summer villas surrounded by elegant parks and Italian style gardens, many of which can still be seen and enjoyed today.
Villa Giona is a fine example of this and a setting for an amazing VALPOLICELLA WEDDING.
An explosion of hilltop villages, rolling hills, waterfalls, caves, lush green countryside, cypress trees, sunflower filled fields, olive groves, fig trees and of course vineyards, the area is a perfect setting for a rustic but at the same time elegant Italian Wedding.
Offering a setting very similar to TUSCANY, but without the mass tourism industry, the area is rich in small rustic trattorias still producing mouthwatering dished made by local hands and using quality local products and of course they will talk to you forever about their wonderful local wines.
Famous local wine producers such as QUINTARELLI, DEL FORNO AND ALLEGRINI produce Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto wines which have graced the most elegant wedding banquets the world over.
If there is a colour that sums up the Valpolicella Region, then it has to be red, the colour of its wines. The love affair between man and his vines is ever present here and it is lovely to see the aged, wrinkled hands of the locals who nurture the vines through the spring rains, the torrid summer heat waves and the autumn winds, until the grapes are transformed into fine wines for our happy couples to enjoy on their special day.
The welcome from the people of this valley is one of heartfelt warmth and a love of sharing their land with you. You will go home having made lots of new friends and will be welcomed back again like one of the family.
