What to do and see in Lake Garda, Lake Garda: The Best Food & Drink

September 28, 2021 Darleen Reid

The largest of Italy’s fresh-water lakes, Lake Garda is located in northeast Italy. Tourists traveling here will find plenty of excursions and activities to keep them entertained year-round—everything from visiting hilly wine regions to exploring 14th-century castles. The towns and communities surrounding Lake Garda offer easy day trips from Venice, easily accessible by car or train. Major sights include the towns of Sirmione (which attracts most Lake Garda visitors thanks to its historic Rocca Scaligiera castle) and Riva del Garda (for the Varone waterfalls located nearby), as well as the region’s hills, which offer numerous hiking trails for adventurous walkers.

Benaco 70 Craft Brewery

Il birrificio Benaco 70 nasce nella primavera del 2013 ad Affi, a pochi chilometri dalle sponde veronesi del lago di Garda: una piccola ma intraprendente e creativa realtà artigianale che dedica la massima cura al prodotto in ogni sua fase, dalla scelta delle materie prime fino all’imbottigliamento e alla commercializzazione. Il nostro intento è di produrre in quantità limitata solo birre cosiddette crude, vive, di alta qualità, ad alto contenuto di entusiasmo e creatività! Tutte le birre Benaco 70 si possono assaggiare ed acquistare direttamente nel brew pub adiacente al birrificio, inaugurato nel luglio 2017. Oltre alle birre, il pub serve taglieri di salumi e formaggi locali, crostoni, panini, burger e fritti.

Do you want to know which is the secret ingredient? Only by drinking a glass of this collection, you’ll recognize the secret ingredient. Easy to guess…Love

We visited Onepio to do the gold wine tasting which was excellent and great value for money. Most importantly we tasted a number of great wines - we were allowed to pick which ones we wanted to taste from a selection so it can be tailored to personal preferences. We had some lovely local cheeses and other snacks to accompany also. Our hostess was really knowledgable taking us through each wine and how its grown and produced. She struck a great balance between talking to us and giving us time to just enjoy the wine. We stayed for a drink after in the sunshine and ordered a few bottles to be sent home also. Very glad we visited.

We had a really lovely afternoon at the vineyard. Elisa was so nice and welcoming, and really passionate about their family business, which was great to see. The wine was all lovely and the cheeses, breads and biscuits were a fantastic accompaniment. No pressure to buy any wine after the tour, but we did anyway as it was delicious!! We even stayed and drank another bottle before we left as it was such a nice setting! Would definitely recommend the tour and tasting, and very easy to cycle to the vineyard from Sirmione. Next time maybe we’ll try the cooking course as well :)

Montonale

Lugana, a growing area of unexpected quality. Thirty hectares of vineyards caressed by the winds of Lake Garda. Four generations with a passionate commitment to their land, their vines, and their wines. This is the portrait of Montonale and the dream of three brothers, Claudio, Roberto and Valentino Girelli. You can purchase at our wine shop or book tours with tastings.

Reviewed By Luca_BG-Italy - Bergamo, Italy

Great stay in Cantina Montonale for tasting session. After the visit of wine yards and production site, we enjoyed the Lugana wines “Montunal” and “Orestilla” from different years. Montunal is a great Lugana, with long longevity potential. Orestilla is an outstanding Lugana, full body and great taste, with an huge ageing potential, if you are able to avoid to drink it :-)
