Olive Oil Tasting Lake Garda: Grove walk and local food pairing

Taste your way through a Lake Garda olive estate in two hours

An olive oil tasting at a family estate on Lake Garda's hills combines a walk through the groves with a curated food and wine pairing. You'll learn the history of the cultivation, sample Garda D.O.P. extra virgin oil with artisanal bread and traditional Lake Garda dishes, then move to local cheeses, charcuterie and a glass of organic Lugana or Chiaretto wine. The experience lasts around two hours and includes a live guide in English or German.

The experience

You arrive at a family estate in the Lake Garda hills and begin with a walk through the olive groves. As you move through the trees, the lake and the Rocca di Manerba come into view. The guide shares how the family cultivates the olives and the varieties that go into their Garda D.O.P. extra virgin oil: the story of the land before you taste what it produces.

The tasting itself is built around the oil and what grows here. You start with fresh bread and traditional dishes where the oil takes the lead: tomato carpaccio with creamy burratina, then a ricotta mousse infused with the estate's own Millefiori honey and cinnamon. A platter of local artisanal cheeses and cold cuts follows, each one chosen to pair with the oil. A glass of organic Lugana or Chiaretto wine completes the pairing. Kids get organic apple juice and water instead of wine.

The olive grove walk is subject to weather, so the estate can adjust if conditions shift. Free parking is available at the meeting point. If you have food intolerances or dietary needs, let them know when you book. They offer vegetarian options, though vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free meals are not available. The experience is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels. Infants can sit on an adult's lap or ride in a pram.
