Valdalpone Hop Field: Tradition and Innovation in the Heart of Lessinia

In the enchanting setting of the Valdalpone Valley, within the Lessinia Park, lies the Valdalpone Hop Field, an agricultural brewery that skillfully combines tradition and innovation. Founded in 2017 by Francesco Ferrarese and Fabio Fochesato, it was established as a company specialized in the cultivation and processing of hops, an essential ingredient for the production of quality craft beer.

The founders’ passion for nature and beer guided them on a path of dedication and research. After two years of study and experimentation, in 2019 the brewery created its first beer: Vestena, a creation that marked the official start of its activity as a beer firm. The dream of owning its own facility came true in 2021, thereby defining the Hop Field’s identity as an independent brewery capable of controlling every step of the production process.

Quality, Sustainability, and Creativity in the Glass

The Valdalpone Hop Field places quality and a focus on self-sufficiency at the center of its philosophy. The brewery cultivates several hop varieties imported from the United States, including:

Cascade
Centennial
Chinook

These hops are selected for their unique aromatic profiles, rich in citrus and floral notes, which blend perfectly with carefully chosen malts to create craft beers that reflect the surrounding territory.

The most appreciated brews are characterized by a bold pursuit of flavor and territorial identity, such as:

Bolca: an original Witbier, enriched with potatoes, lending the product unprecedented delicacy and smoothness
Rugolotta: a fruity Witbier, with notes of raspberries and currants, highlighting the balance between sweetness and acidity
Sprea: a herb-infused Saison, offering a sensory experience of fresh and spicy aromas

Each of these beers expresses the character of the park and valley, combining passion, attention to detail, and a deep connection to the land.

Located at Via Corte 12, in Vestenanova, in the province of Verona, the Valdalpone Hop Field welcomes those who wish to closely explore the production process and immerse themselves in a suggestive environment made of nature and craftsmanship. Visits by appointment offer a unique opportunity to discover how an excellent beer is born, the result of respect for the territory and an untiring spirit of innovation.
