Description
Nestled among the picturesque hills of Padenghe sul Garda, an ancient farmhouse transformed into an elegant wine resort invites you to discover the art of winemaking with an unforgettable wine tasting experience at Lake Garda. Here, in the heart of the renowned Valtenesi region, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and savour the four signature wines of a prestigious local winery, celebrated for their quality and authenticity.
The guided tour begins with a fascinating exploration of the winery, where you’ll visit the areas dedicated to grape processing and wine ageing. An expert guide will introduce you to the diverse Valtenesi-controlled designations of origin, explaining the distinct qualities of native grape varieties that make these wines truly unique. The passion and meticulous care invested in cultivating the vines are reflected in every glass, ensuring an authentic experience.
The tour continues with a tasting of the winery's most awarded wines, selected to provide a sensory journey through intense aromas and refined flavours. Each wine is paired with locally sourced, zero-kilometre products, carefully chosen to highlight the unique qualities of each bottle. A delightful platter featuring artisan cured meats, cheeses, and other local specialities enhances the tasting experience, embodying the authentic traditions of the agritourism setting.
The evening culminates with a gourmet tasting dinner, allowing you to fully enjoy the harmonious blend of wine and local cuisine. Served outdoors under majestic, century-old trees or in the winery's atmospheric tasting room, the dinner offers a complete gastronomic journey where each dish is crafted to celebrate the flavours of the region.
Indulge in a day of immersive wine tasting at Lake Garda, where nature, flavours, and tradition come together to offer an unforgettable experience amid the hills of Padenghe sul Garda and the renowned winery at the heart of Valtenesi.
