Pedal past hidden lakes and hills before savoring Valtenesi’s finest at Salò’s cellar

The route covers about 20 km with 200 meters of elevation gain and is led by a certified guide in English or Italian. E-bike, helmet and insurance are included.

The experience

The ride starts from Trevisani, a winery founded in the 1960s on a hill overlooking Lake Garda in Gavardo, and runs for two hours along paths that trace the shoreline and hilly terrain of the Valtenesi region. You'll pedal past vineyards and meadows, with the e-bike handling the elevation so the focus stays on the landscape rather than the climb. The route is easy but assumes basic cycling comfort. The distance is about 20 km with 200 meters of elevation gain across the morning.

The stops anchor the ride: the Giant Bench of Muscoline, painted in Chiaretto pink to honor the local wine, sits 100 meters from a farmhouse among the vineyards and offers a vantage point back toward Lake Garda. You'll pass through Polpenazze, a small town in the heart of Valtenesi, and reach the lakes of Sovenigo, three shallow bodies of water ringed by meadows and lotus flowers in summer. The final view opens onto the Gulf of Salò from above, a wide angle of the lake and the town below.

Back at the winery, the tasting unfolds over about 90 minutes: four glasses of Valtenesi wine (the region's signature reds and rosés) paired with platters of local cured meats and cheeses. The guide is certified and speaks English or Italian. E-bike, helmet and personal insurance are included. Bring comfortable, sporty clothes and closed shoes. The winery asks that you arrange your own transport to reach them in advance, and they cannot accommodate vegan, gluten-free or lactose-free diets, though they welcome notice of other food intolerances.
