In Vinis Veritas, Varenna

My wife and I came here for a ‘glass’ of wine before dinner and ended up doing the wine tasting. Hermes was a little shy to start with, and claimed his English was barbaric, but he spoke very well and explained each wine excellently. We were treated to a plate of Bresaola which I can honestly say was perhaps the tastiest cured meat I’ve ever had!! Great wine, great food, and most of all great people - will definitely come back here if only to shake Hermes’ hand and buy him a drink. Thank you 😄

Amazing wines! Rating only 3 stars because our service was not great, seemed like the owner couldn't be bothered to work that day or had a bad day. We sat outside so I'm not sure if inside is amazing but the outside area is very basic and could've been a very cosy/nice place. Prices are as to be expected of a wine bar: 5-12€ per glass (100ml). Menu of wines in photo below. The wines itself are great.

We came here to enjoy a glass of wine/prosecco before our dinner. Wonderful place and amazing wines. This is a great wine bar, and the service is super friendly and nice. They even recommend us a place to have dinner and it turned out to be the best experience ever. I love this wine bar.

Wonderful place to have a bottle of wine with bruschetta to while away the heat. Our guide and sommelier was knowledgeable, our chosen wine tasted as per his description. The bruschetta was brilliant, sweet chopped tomatoes paired with fruity olive oil.

Great spot a street from the front. Perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon enjoying some cooling shade and cold wine. Wine selection is excellent. Lots of open wines to choose from, some fantastic open local wines as well as Italian classics. Service is amazing! Super friendly, professional and knowledgeable! Stop for a glass of wine and end up spending the afternoon chatting and people watching.
