Detailed itinerary

We will start near Lazise, one of the most beautiful town on Lake Garda. We will explore the less-know Lazise countryside with horseback ride tour.this village on Lake Garda is famous for its medieval castle, which contains the village. From some documents found, Lazise is the oldest municipality in Italy, when in 983 it received from Otto II, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, some administrative privileges to manage the city's affairs autonomously.

We will pass on horseback through Colà , a small hamlet of Lazise, where we will able to admire the splendid surrounding countryside. The area is rich in vineyards, being very suited to the production of wine: here Bardolino is produced in particular, a light red wine, and Chiaretto, a very fresh and pleasant rosé wine especially in summer. Once you arrive at the farm, you will be able to taste local wines of their own production.

After about 1 hour of horseback riding, we will stop at an educational farm for a tasting of local products under the vineyard. This farm is characterized by family management and love for nature: bees are raised here, from which Lazise honey is produced. You can also find cultivations of fruit, vegetables, and a small production of wine.
