Program details
Join this relaxing food and wine tour, meet the local expert guide in Sirmione and start exploring the hilly white wine region of Custoza. This area boasts luxuriant vineyards and olive trees. Stop at the first selected winery and meet the winemaker. You’ll discover the secrets of the production in a very authentic place. Hear about the traditions and taste the delicious white wine, only produced in this wine region.
After the first stop, where you’ll have the chance of having a complete wine tasting session paired with the local cheese, you’ll be ready for a very local experience. Not far from Lake Garda there is a magic place where dozens of ladies produce every day handmade fresh pasta, the “ Tortellini di Valeggio''. This is a local and artisanal production, famous all around the North of Italy for its quality. Here a tasting lunch, including the famous tortellini, is waiting for you!
After lunch you’ll visit a special place, a “borgo” that won the nomination for one of the most beautiful villages in Italy (“borghi più belli d’Italia). This is Borghetto sul Mincio, a fairytale place with mills and ancient buildings. Here, there’s nothing better than strolling through the tiny lanes with a delicious gelato. After this refreshing walk you’ll be ready to enter the Lugana wine region. Another beautiful surprise. This pristine place is the heart of an incredible white wine production that takes its unique characteristics from the special soil. Meet the local producer for the second wine stop of this eno-gastronomic journey and discover the flavors of this unique wine production during a complete tasting session before going back to Bardolino. A tour never tasted so good!
