Varenna is a slow-paced destination—most visitors come here to relax by the lake. But even if "Working on my tan" is the #1 thing on your itinerary, take some time to explore the area. There’s the Castello di Vizio, a medieval fortress surrounded by an olive grove. And you’ll want to view the old, tiered gardens at the Villa Cipressi—they stretch all the way down to the water. Finally, visit the source of the Fiumelatte, a peculiar river—it’s only 250 m long and disappears from October to March.

We spent the day 10-4:30 at the cooking class and it was a very fun, educational and one of the highlights of our stay on Lake Como! Moreno was so sweet and entertaining I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting the lake!!! The class was in a casual setting and allowed you to ask questions and get tips from Moreno and some of the guests. We drank, cooked, laughed and made new friends. It was a great experience????. Thank you thank you!

In Vinis Veritas is a casual, friendly wine bar, perfect for aperitifs and tasting some special wines with platters of local cheeses or cold cuts. We have wines from all the best Italian regions and a broad selection of local wines, as well as oil from the olives of Lake Como. The wine shop can ship you wines all over the world.
This was the highlight of my trip. I had 3 delicious glasses of red wine, accompanied with a selection of divine bread and cheeses. The host was very informative and was well informed. Really worth a trip and all for only €20.

When you get off the ferry turn right and keep walking and you will reach these beautiful gardens in about 10-15 mins right on the shore of Lake Como. The wisteria will look stunning when it is in flower, probably even better from the Lake. A long thin garden which only had another couple of other visitors on a rainy October morning. Peaceful place to sit and contemplate.

You can start this walk from the ferry landing at Varenna. Just turn right after you get off the Ferry and look for the signs, they should be easy to stop. You can hike to Fiumelatte, but that for us was a bit too far. You can also just go up to the castle, which itself is very nice to visit and offers amazing views. Then complete the loop back to Varenna. You don't need hiking shoes or anything, but some parts are steep and narrow. Views all along the way are very nice and you come accross one of the Villas which you can visit as well. It took us about 90 minutes to do that, but we stopped for pictures and to visit the castle.
