Golosine combines the charm of a traditional Italian neighbourhood with easy access to Verona. Packed with local cafes, bars and trattorias, the enclave gives you the option to venture off the tourist trail and experience Italy through a local lens or visit iconic Veronese attractions like Piazza delle Erbe and Juliet’s House.
Things to do in Golosine
Stroll through the historic heart of Golosine, where cobblestone streets wind past centuries-old buildings. Discovering sun-drenched piazzas at the end of narrow alleys is part of the fun. Sidewalk cafes invite you to sip cappuccinos and enjoy refreshing aperitivos.
Leafy vineyards surround Golosine and produce some of the best wines in the Veneto region. Spend the day visiting local estates and learning more about the grape-to-glass process. Book a guided wine tasting experience to sample local varietals like Corvina, which is grown on the eastern banks of Lake Garda. Soave, a dry white with hints of citrus and honeydew, is also made in the province of Verona.
Dine at family-run trattorias and savour the unique flavours and ingredients of the Veneto region. Try local specialties “bigoli in salsa” pasta tossed with anchovies, “brasato all’amarone” beef stew and risotto cooked with minced pork. Risotto all’Amarone, a signature rice dish made with ruby-red local wine, is a Veronese specialty.
Spend the day sightseeing in Verona, a city synonymous with Romance. Visit awe-inspiring Roman monuments like Verona Arena and browse designer boutiques along Corso Porta Borsari, one of the most famous shopping avenues in Italy. Juliet's House, a medieval palace complete with a picturesque stone balcony, is a pilgrimage site for Shakespeare fans.
