Bottega del Vini


Ah Verona, Italy…the ancestral home of Romeo and Juliet. This gorgeous city in northwest Italy is home to arguably the greatest wine bar in the world, Bottega del Vini. This unassuming taverna has one of the best Italian wine cellars on the planet that stretches under the streets of the ancient city. The owner has a special repoire with many of the local producers who bottle wines especially for him in many sizes. Perhaps the best part about it is that there are always 30-40 different wines available by the glass and the list changes regularly. It gets so crowded at times that folks spill out onto the street, wine glasses in hand. So if you find yourself in Verona, simply ask any of the locals where it is. They all know it.
