September and October are the months when Valpolicella changes pace. The air becomes clearer, the leaves begin to turn gold and red, and the vineyards are filled with anticipation for the harvest.
It is the ideal time for a walk in the Giardino di Pojega-Villa Rizzardi (Negrar, VR), but not just any walk: a guided tour with the guides of the Centro Turistico Giovanile Valpolicella 'Genius Loci', to experience this place with new eyes and listen to its history.
Visiting the Giardino di Pojega accompanied by a guide from the CTG Valpolicella means slowing down, observing and listening. It is not just about learning dates or architectural styles: it means understanding the spirit that shaped this place, the landscaping choices and the balance between man and nature.
The guides do not read from a script: they speak with passion. They recount anecdotes about the villa, the family that still owns it today, the art of Italian gardens and the Teatro di Verzura, which in autumn is coloured like a living stage set.
Guided tours are available on the following dates:
✦ Sunday 7 September, guided tour in Italian
✦ Sunday 14 September, guided tour in English
✦ Sunday 5 October, guided tour in Italian
✦ Sunday 12 October, guided tour in English (10:30 a.m.)
