Wine tour and tasting with Lake view in Moniga del Garda

On the western shore of Lake Garda, in the heart of the Valtenesi hills, Moniga del Garda is one of the most evocative wine-growing areas in Lombardy. The estate sits among its own vineyards overlooking the lake, where the water's microclimate shapes the character of every bottle produced here.

Guests are welcomed for a guided walk through the vineyards and olive groves, followed by a visit to the cellar. The hosts share the story of their land, their approach to cultivation, and the care that goes into each harvest — from vine to bottle.

The tasting brings together four wines from the estate: Lugana, Chiaretto, and the reds of the Riviera del Garda Classico. Each glass is accompanied by local specialities and the estate's own extra virgin olive oil, offering a genuine sense of what this corner of the lake has to offer.

This is a place where winemaking is still tied to the rhythms of the land. Sitting with a glass of Chiaretto while looking out over the vines towards the water, it is easy to understand why this territory has been shaped by wine culture for centuries.
