Details
If you are at Lake Garda and want to discover its ancient and elegant atmosphere while exploring its enchanting surroundings, then we recommend you to book a boat trip to Lake Garda castles with wine degustation! With us, you will have the opportunity to admire the beauty of one of the most romantic coasts of Italy, guided by our motorboat experts, masters of these unique lands.
We will leave from the port of Sirmione and the first castle that we will admire will be the Scaligero Castle of Sirmione, one of the best conserved in the area and historical symbol of the village. Sailing around the peninsula we will reach the Scaligero Castle of Lazise, a medieval fortress with imposing towers surrounded by walls, built to defend against enemies. We will then head towards Bardolino, where we will stay for an hour to enjoy an eno-gastronomic stop: degustation of Bardolino wine (excellence of Garda) accompanied by appetizers and an accurate explanation of an expert sommelier at the Restaurant La Loggia Rambaldi!
The tour continues towards the Gulf of Garda and Villa Canossa, magical places where we could stop for a moment of relaxation or a swim in the clear waters of the lake. The last stop of our trip will be the Scaligero Castle of Torri del Benaco, a scenographic Roman fortress located right on the shores of the lake. Back at the port of Sirmione, on our way back to the point of departure, we will pass under the famous drawbridge: be careful to lower your head!Highlights
