Wine tasting in a barrique cellar on Lake Garda: a unique experience

Would you like to try the unique experience of a wine tasting in a barrique cellar on Lake Garda?

You can book this activity in Valeggio sul Mincio, near Verona and Peschiera. A magical place that leaves Lake Garda behind and follows the course of the river Mincio. Here, nestled among beautiful hills, is the ancient farm with a barrique cellar where the tasting will take place. But what is a barrique cellar? It’s a precious place where the wine rests at the right temperature and humidity, to slowly refine and thus release its best aromas.

The barrique cellar can have either modern or ancient architecture (a small curiosity: it is also used for some types of beer!), and it is certainly an evocative environment where one can truly understand the care and dedication required to produce high quality wines.

The location chosen for this tasting activity is truly remarkable and the barrique cellar is very old indeed: it dates back to the 18th century. The winery is also nestled in the hills, a familiar place where you can immediately breathe in the purity of the land, the vineyards, the farms and the cellars that surround it and make this experience unique and precious.

In the barrique room, amidst historical barrels, wood aromas and maturing wines, you will be able to taste four, including a Custoza Superiore, two Bardolino DOC and Superiore wines and a Passito Bianco Veneto IGT. The wines will be accompanied by excellent cured meats and cheeses and a typical local dessert. A perfect oenological and gastronomic experience for those who want to experience total sensory immersion.

The wine-tasting activity in the barrique cellar will be preceded by a visit to the vineyards and the wine-making and bottling cellar.
