Olive oil tour: discovering San Felice del Benaco on foot

A ring-shaped excursion on the morainic promontory of San Felice del Benaco, amidst picturesque landscapes and historical traces, culminating in an olfactory-tasting experience of extra virgin olive oil, an identity product of the Garda area.

Patrizia, an expert guide and passionate connoisseur of the area, will involve you in an itinerary where you will be the active protagonists of the exploration experience: from the centre of the town, you will retrace the history and culture of the place, passing through hermitages of the past and discovering unexplored panoramic views, where the seaside setting of the crowded Garda beaches coexists with the peace of centuries-old olive groves.

The itinerary culminates with a visit to the cooperative oil mill, to learn about the history and tradition behind one of the most renowned territorial excellences. This will be followed by a guided tasting of various types of extra virgin olive oil and a sampling of local wines.

A slow tourism experience to be lived with awareness and savoured intensely, to grasp the true local essence and recognise the immense historical, cultural and enogastronomic heritage of the Lake Garda area.

It is compulsory to wear hiking shoes with a treaded sole and to carry at least 500 ml of water.

Sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen are recommended in hot weather.

The route is easy, does not present any particular difficulties and is suitable for all healthy and willing walkers.
