Villa Serego Alighieri is a private agricultural estate dating from the 14th century. It nestles on a plain above the ancient city of Verona, just 90 minutes from Venice. Known as Valpolicella, the region is famous for rich red wines, the most coveted being the intense Amarone. Villa Serego Alighieri produces some of Italy's best Valpolicella and Amarone wines in addition to olive oil, honey and preserves from fruit grown on the property.

Accommodations:
Guests stay in comfortable apartments with private baths and spacious living areas. The ambiance is of gracious country living. There are only eight apartments, and the villa's grounds offer plenty of room to meander. Breakfast and cappuccino can be taken on the terrace or in the comfortable breakfast bar. Cooking lessons are given in a separate professional kitchen.
Program: Culinary instruction features two outstanding experts in cuisine of the region - Rinaldo Biraldi and Antonia Montrucoli. Each lesson culminates in a complete lunch or dinner.
