What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the appointed time and head to one of Verona's principal squares. Once settled at a table, you'll work through four different aperitif styles—think Spritz, but also regional variations—each with complementary nibbles. The guide talks you through what you're tasting and why it matters to locals here. You're not performing a tour; you're basically joining the early evening crowd for their standard wind-down. Expect casual conversation, the ambient noise of the square filling up, and the sort of unhurried pace that characterises this time of day in northern Italy.

Good to know

Arrive a few minutes early. The experience runs 45 minutes, so plan accordingly if you have dinner plans. All dietary requirements are catered for—let your guide know when you book. Public transport is nearby if you need it.
