I, like many of you I'm sure, have a mental list of all the places that I would like to visit before my number's up - Lake Garda being one of them!
Even
after the end of summer, the Lake Garda is a place to discover, where
you can relax among breathtaking panoramas, street food, fish and many
other local products such as oil, high quality wines, restaurants and
much more. Here are some ideas for an itinerary with
suggestions for wineries visits, events, restaurants and hotels.
On Saturday 27th
and Sunday 28th September, Ciottolando con Gusto will be on stage in
Malcesine, with a sort of treasure hunt along the roads full of
“ciottoli” of the medieval hamlet which overlooks the lake.
The event is
dedicated to the discovery of the flavors of Garda Lake, from fish, to
Garda Dop Olive Oil to the product of Monte Baldo. With the map of the
little hamlet in hand, foodies will have the chance to choose among
the different menus of the several bars, wine-shops, restaurants and
pizzeria, which will join the initiative.
Each
food & wine lover, thanks to a coupon that everyone can buy at the
Ciottolando info point, will be able to create its personal menu, opting
for a first course in a venue, and then the second course in another
one and so on until coffee and dessert.
In the
Giardino del Gusto, Via Navene, you will
have the chance to buy the typical products of Monte Baldo, from cheese
to honey, oil and many more.
TUTT’OLIO - 19 OCTOBER 2014 - MALCESINE (VR)
Sunday,
October 19th, the town of Malcesine will become the stage for Tutt'Olio,
the event that will give tastings, walks among the olive groves and
themed menus to discover one of the typical products of the Garda, its
olive oil. The full program of the event will let you know this
product in all its forms, from the tree to the table. A real journey in
an all-round excellence of our country....
In case, you want to visit a winery….
GERARDO CESARI: AMARONE, GARDA, ROMEO AND JULIET
Founded in
1936, Gerardo Cesari has soon become synonymous of the wines of Verona
in the world. Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of Franco Cesari, in
the early Seventies, Cesari Amarone is among the first wines in
Valpolicella sold in the five continents. Just a few kilometers from the
Lake Garda and from the city of Romeo and Juliet, the winery located in
Cavaion Veronese offers to tourists and wine lovers the opportunity to
get to know the place where the most popular wines of this area are
born.
Cesari wines
have been recently recognized abroad with the title of “Bester Amarone
des Jahres 2013” assigned by MUNDUSvini 2013, one of the most important
German wine contest.
In addition,
in order to promote the culture of its territory, the winery has decided
to support the Juliet Club, the association that replies to the thousands
of letter to Juliet from all over the world. The Cesari wines are in
fact becoming the wines of the lovers.

RESTAURANT VECCHIA MALCESINE (1 MICHELIN STAR)
Leandro Luppi
is the chef of the Restaurant Vecchia Malcesine, a little venue
overlooking the small houses of Malcesine town centre.
Twelve years
ago, Leandro arrived in this place after several working experience in
Alto Adige and Trentino and took over a typical trattoria and bravely
transformed it in a place of the taste, with a cuisine which combines
the creativity of the chef with local seasonal products.
