This easy itinerary winds through the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano (Verona) and introduces you to the places where the grapes for Valpolicella DOC are grown. During the walk, you can admire the beauty of stately homes, churches and hermitages, rural courtyards, and small and sunny stone districts in a clearly hospitable region.

The gentle hilly landscape of Valpolicella is formed by a range of small valleys that slope down to the Veronese plain, where large vineyards alternate with long stretches of olive, cherry and apricot trees. Among the most interesting stops are the village of Castelrotto, with its splendid panoramaic view, the church of Sant'Ulderico, Villa Betteloni and the small church of San Martino, a jewel of Romanesque architecture.
