The Veneto region offers a wide range of wines and appellations, with perhaps the most famous being the Valpolicella. Valpolicella is a true hidden gem in the province of Verona. Just under 30 minutes’ drive from Verona and East of Lake Garda in North East Italy, the area is known as the “Pearl of Verona” and its name, a mixture of Latin and Greek, translates to “the valley of many cellars”.
Beaujolais is a small area south of Burgundy which produces unique wines made from Gamay grapes. Stretching from South of Mâcon to roughly 50km north of the outskirts of Lyon, the area is full of small picturesque towns and quaint villages. The landscape has been carved by rivers flowing down to the Saône, creating valleys, hills and slopes now covered in vines.
