Villa Crine awarded in the “Art and Culture” category at the Best Of Wine Tourism 2026

The Best Of Wine Tourism competition, organised every year by the Verona Chamber of Commerce, is part of the initiatives promoted by the Great Wine Capitals Global Network, which brings together major international cities connected to some of the world's most renowned wine regions. Each year, the competition recognises wineries and wine tourism businesses across different categories, highlighting outstanding wine tourism experiences around the world.

For the Art and Culture category of the 2026 Best Of Wine Tourism Awards, Villa Crine in Pedemonte received the award with the following motivation:

“For skilfully restoring and enhancing a historic residence in the heart of Valpolicella, creating a wine tourism experience that closely connects the art of winemaking with the cultural identity of the area, thus preserving its history and traditions.”

For Villa Crine and the family behind the winery, this recognition is a source of great pride and gratitude, and represents another important milestone in a journey built on quality and the appreciation of the local area.

As a family-run winery, Villa Crine takes care of every stage of production with dedication, pursuing consistency and high quality in its wines, which are appreciated both in Italy and abroad.

Renowned for its Amarone and Recioto, Villa Crine adapts grape and wine production to the characteristics of each vintage in order to maintain high quality standards and make the most of every harvest. The winery produces wine exclusively from estate-grown grapes and oversees the entire production process at its winery in Pedemonte.

Here, the historic 18th-century villa stands alongside modern production facilities, bringing together tradition and contemporary winemaking with the aim of producing distinctive, high-quality wines that authentically express the character of Valpolicella Classica.

Villa Crine welcomes visitors and wine enthusiasts with immersive wine tourism experiences, including winery tours and guided tastings, offering the opportunity to discover every stage of the production process first-hand, from grape to glass.
