Food & Wine Tour on Lake Garda, Assisi

Overview

Enjoy a different side of Lake Garda on a tour to Sirmione, a local winery, and an olive oil farm near Saló. Lake Garda is famous for the flavorful wine produced by the regional vineyards and its exceptional olive oil. 

You’ll start in the town of Sirmione, where you’ll enjoy a walking tour of the “Pearl of Lake Garda." The village unveils 2,000 years of history with its immense Roman villas, late medieval churches, Scaligera Castle, and palaces that date back to the Republic of Venice. This history sits amongst a scenic backdrop of various Mediterranean flora that thrives in mild weather, such as palm and agave trees.
