Valtenesi wine tasting in Salò: 4 wines with local food

The winery sits on a hillside terrace with the whole gulf of Salò spread below you while you taste.

A wine tasting at an authentic family winery on the hills between Gavardo and Salò, where you tour the production cellar, taste 4 Valtenesi wines (whites, rosés and reds), and eat local cured meats and cheeses on a natural terrace with views of Lake Garda. The experience lasts about 2 hours and a live guide conducts it in English or Italian. Only adults 18 and over can participate in the wine tasting.

The experience

What makes Valtenesi different from the bigger wine regions across Lake Garda? The winery sits on hills between Gavardo and Salò, and the tasting happens on a natural green terrace where the view of the lake and the gulf becomes part of the experience itself. You start with a walk through the production cellar to see how the wines are made, then move to the terrace for the tasting itself.

You'll taste 4 wines (a mix of whites, rosés and reds from the Valtenesi area) each one paired with platters of local cured meats and cheeses. Water is included. The whole thing takes about 2 hours, and a live guide in English or Italian walks you through the flavors and the story of the vineyard. If you have food intolerances or dietary needs, let the winery know when you book so they can prepare accordingly.

Getting there takes some planning on your end: the winery is not on a main road, so you'll need to arrange transport in advance. Once you arrive, the terrace is wheelchair accessible, and the experience suits all fitness levels. Infants can come along in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.

Is this one for you?Book the English-language option if you want the guide to explain the winemaking process and the Valtenesi region in detail. Choose Italian if that's your preference. Either way, you'll need to arrange transport to the winery in advance since it sits on a hillside between two towns rather than in a town center.
