Created to celebrate the 50 years of the DOC wine from Veneto's Verona area, the course will be held on January 29-31 at the headquarters of the Consortium near Verona, with the participation of experts, including candidates for the 'Master of Wine' title.

For three days, participants will have the opportunity of acquiring new knowledge and becoming 'Valpolicella Wine specialists' able to communicate the excellence of this wine worldwide.
