A day among the Lugana vineyards on Lake Garda

A day on Lake Garda, the heart of Lugana

Hello to all lovers of good wine! Today I take you with me on an unforgettable journey on the shores of Lake Garda, where nature offers a unique spectacle and Lugana wine becomes an ambassador of this wonderful land.

Among the vineyards of Turbiana, the soul of Lugana

Our adventure begins with a walk through the vineyards that line the lake. Here, the Turbiana grape, grown on clayey soils and nourished by a perfect microclimate, gives life to Lugana. I was lucky enough to visit a small family winery, where I discovered the winemaking process that transforms these grapes into a wine of exceptional quality.

A dive into history and taste

In the cellar, the winemaker told me the history of Lugana, a wine that has its roots in a past rich in traditions. I tasted several vintages, noticing how each bottle contained different nuances: from floral scents to touches of ripe fruit, with that typical minerality that makes it unmistakable.

Flavors of Garda on the table

There can be no tasting without a good culinary pairing. For lunch, in a restaurant overlooking the lake, I tried the Lugana with typical local dishes: a fresh and tasty perch risotto and a plate of grilled whitefish. The wine enhanced every bite, creating a perfect harmony between food and drink.

Walking between history and nature

After lunch, I continued my exploration by visiting ancient villages and admiring breathtaking views of the lake. Every corner of this territory tells a story, and Lugana is the common thread, a link between past, present and future.

I invite all of you, wine and travel enthusiasts, to live this unique experience. Lake Garda is not only a place of extraordinary natural beauty, but also a food and wine paradise where Lugana plays a leading role. A journey that enriches the palate and the soul, leaving unforgettable memories.
