North of the city is Lessinia, with its Regional Park and Monte Baldo to indicate the passage from the plains of the Po Valley to the Alpines. Its magnificent scenery beckons hiking excursions through the beechwoods, grasslands, olive groves, vineyards and orchards. Its the reason that Monte Baldo is known also as Hortus Europae, Garden of Italy and Europe.
In the Province’s heart is Valpolicella, land of history and flavors, noted for its wine tasting tradition and numerous historic villas. This area produces exquisite, world-famous vino, using special and unique Italian techniques. And finally, to the south, the Basso Veronese area is a world of its own.
