Discover Venice & enjoy wines
Veneto, or as the Italians say, is a region stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea, offering more variety than many a festival-filled summer. It boasts a pleasantly mild climate , characterized by warm days and cooler nights – perfect for our favorite heroes: the grapes. The soils are as diverse as the wines themselves, from volcanic to calcareous to clayey. Every spot has its own character, and you'll taste it in the glass.
These climatic and geographical conditions make the region a paradise for winemakers . It offers perfect conditions for complex, elegant, yet accessible wines. The interplay of sun, wind, and soil creates an explosive mixture for fully ripe, aromatic grapes .
Wine has thrived in this region for centuries. The city of Verona, famous for Romeo and Juliet, is also known for its powerful red wine. Venice brings elegance, and Lake Garda a relaxed lifestyle. All of this comes together in Venice. It's like a great wine cellar of Italy, only with more sun and less dust. Many of the wines from Venice are internationally acclaimed —and rightly so.
The most rebellious grape varieties from Veneto
The wines are distinctive in terms of flavor, without seeming overly complicated. These wines, in particular, are at the top of our list:
- Amarone: A red wine that packs a punch. Powerful, intense, full-bodied. The grapes are partially dried before pressing, creating a taste experience that screams rebellion. Ideal for long evenings and strong cheeses.
- Valpolicella: The classic from the Verona region. Fruity, velvety, yet full of character. Whether pizza, pasta, or solo performance, Valpolicella is always a perfect match.
- Soave: A white wine from the region of the same name. Light, fresh, and simply a true summer fairytale in the glass. With floral notes and citrus aromas, it's a perennial favorite for hot days.
- Prosecco: The star of the region around the city of Treviso. Sparkling, lively, and ideal for anyone who loves sparkling wine. Whether it's brunch or a party, Prosecco puts you in a good mood.
- Bardolino: A young, sparkling red wine from Lake Garda. Light-bodied, fruity, and a true insider tip for spring. Wonderfully drinkable slightly chilled and perfect with salads or light dishes.
Also popular:
- Recioto: The sweeter sister of Amarone, perfect for dessert.
- Garganega: The main grape in Soave, provides finesse and elegance.
Venice, Verona and the rest of the region
Veneto is much more than just a wine region—it's a way of life. The city of Verona enchants with history, Lake Garda offers Mediterranean relaxation, and Venice is simply pure magic. All of this flows into wine from Veneto. It's as if each bottle is a small homage to this region .
When you stroll through the vineyards around Soave or Bardolino, you immediately sense that this isn't just a place for work. It's a place where people live, love, and make wine . Small family businesses and traditional wineries meet young winemakers breaking new ground. This is exactly what we celebrate at CorkRebels: courage, passion, and true craftsmanship .
In Veneto, wine is produced that evokes emotions. And the best part: You can even visit many of the wineries and taste the wine on site. A vacation in Veneto is therefore also an invitation to embark on your own personal wine journey.
