From Garda to the Po

Over a weekend, you can cycle further to the Valtènesi Brescia hills, which feature vineyards, castles and views of Lake Garda.

You can even head towards the city of Brescia, with its welcoming historic squares, where you can relax seated outside a café.

Finally, along the Po, you can explore the Bassa Mantovana and the Oltrepò, the land torn from the waters of the Great River, which abounds with testimonies of material culture and fine dining opportunities.

 

AMONG THE VINEYARS
Valtènesi and Basso Garda
Trebbiano di Lugana is produced in the moraine hills. Chiaretto, which has a floral bouquet, is made from Groppello grapes, grown on the slopes of the Valtènesi, amidst castles and lake breezes.

CASTLE WITH A VIEW
Padenghe

Ascend to the austere Padenghe castle, with its polygonal walls and corner towers, and let your gaze wander over the wide expanse of Lake Garda and the hills.

LAKESIDE
Sirmione

A small peninsula that extends into Basso Garda and is separated from the mainland by a crossable moat is home to a charming medieval centre with a spa.

HISTORIC MEMORIES
