Cammino del Vino e della Pietra

We are a community of walkers, citizens and local organisations who believe in the value of moving slowly and taking care of the places we pass through. The Cammino del Vino e della Pietra was created to enhance, in a participatory and non-profit way, the cultural, landscape and human heritage of Valpolicella and Lessinia. It is more than a hiking route: it is a civic space that brings together people, villages, associations and local institutions around the care of the territory. The association is made up of citizens, social and cultural organisations, hospitality operators and all those who wish to contribute to a shared project. Participation is open: any person, municipality, organisation or accommodation provider can take an active part in the Cammino or collaborate in specific areas such as education, environment, culture, slow tourism and light maintenance of the paths. Hospitality operators – farmhouses, B&Bs, refuges, restaurants – can contribute by offering what they know best: hospitality, knowledge of the area and relationships within the community. The choice to adopt the APS model reflects our commitment to direct all project resources to the territory and shared activities, keeping the Cammino accessible and rooted in the community that sustains it. The Cammino is not meant to “sell an itinerary”, but to build belonging: caring for places, telling their stories, promoting slow and mindful tourism and creating new relationships between those who walk, those who live in the territory and those who welcome. The Cammino del Vino e della Pietra is a collective, open and evolving project that grows thanks to the contribution of those who experience it and recognise it as a common good.
