Lake Iseo is rich in nature, history, culture, and unique flavours. Start your taste adventure here.

Between the hills of Franciacorta and the mountains of the Val Camonica, there lies a fertile land for gourmets and cooking enthusiasts. 

We are talking about Lake Iseo, a beautiful natural gem set between the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo, surrounded by lakeside destinations and culinary specialities just waiting to be discovered.

With a pinch of history, a handful of adventure, and a generous splash of curiosity, you can discover the typical products of this area, rooted in "cucina povera" (peasant cooking).
