Our territory, aside from being a beloved destination for tourists who want to enjoy the lake, is also well known for a variety of gastronomic excellences and for wine. Thanks to its climate and morphology, the inland of the lake is covered by many vineyards, from which a rich variety of wine is produced, and its unique colour, flavour and smell are recognizable from all around the world. The most representative wine of Lake Garda is the Bardolino.
It is produced with Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes coming from vineyards on the hills of the east coast.
