Tour By Day DAY 1 Welcome to the Veneto Your guides will meet you in Verona, and then we’re off to our hotel in the heart of the Custoza wine region. Check in, enjoy a light lunch, and get fitted on your bike in preparation for our first ride. We’ll pedal on a bike path that follows the banks of the Mincio River to the fairytale village of Borghetto, where we’ll stop for some gelato or a photo in front of the iconic medieval bridge. Continue riding to our friend Gianni’s family farmhouse for an introduction to the wines of Northern Italy. Tonight, we’ll taste the Veneto’s best pumpkin tortelli (hand-stuffed pasta served in broth or melted butter) on the riverside terrace of our favorite local restaurant.

Today, we follow the winding course of the river through this famously fertile land to reach Mantua, home to one of Italy’s greatest concentrations of Renaissance art. Explore the Renaissance architecture of the town before enjoying lunch at our favorite osteria off the main square. After lunch, opt to complete the ride back to the hotel or take a lift in the van. Tonight, our chef friend Serena will show us true Italian hospitality as we make pasta and share Italian cocktails at a cooking class that feels more like a dinner party.

Visit our friend Pietro at the beautiful La Cà winery for a tasting of their Bardolino wines and lunch on their gorgeous patio. Then, ride down to the town of Bardolino and check into our lakeside hotel. Take a swim in the lake, explore the cobbled streets, visit the hotel’s pastry shop, or relax at the spa. This evening, we’ll take in the sublime alpine views as we explore the lake by boat before dinner at the hotel’s gastronomic restaurant.

Opt for a challenging morning climb or start the ride high above Lake Garda—our route follows small farm roads with ever-changing views of the lake. We'll cross the Adige River and enter a landscape devoted to vineyards: only cypress-lined lanes, stone walls, and the occasional sleepy village interrupt the sea of vines. Stop for lunch at a chic winery and restaurant, then continue on to the exotic Byblos Art Hotel. Relax and explore this unique property, or spend your free night in Verona, a short transfer away. If the opera is in town, you’ll have the option to purchase tickets and enjoy a performance at Verona’s Roman amphitheater or spend some time exploring the city before heading back to the hotel.

DAY 5 The Lessini Mountains Today we’ll enjoy a scenic drive up into the Lessini Mountains for a short walk through the mountain pastures to visit some historic WWI trenches. The panoramic views of the Dolomites and valleys above Verona are worth the trip alone! Afterward, we’ll hop on our bikes for a long, gradual descent along the ridgelines of the Valpolicella. Enjoy a glass of Amarone with the winemaker himself at a picnic lunch before pedaling through the vineyards and back to Byblos.

  • Cartella Stampa
    Cartella stampa Galleria fotografica: www.fotocru.it/oliogarda/ Il territorio La zona di produzione delle olive del Garda è caratterizzata dalla presenza delle catene montuose a nord e del più grande lago italiano, che rendono il clima gardesano simile a quello mediterraneo e mitigano gli effetti dell’ambiente che, alla latitudine della zona del Garda, sarebbero altrimenti ostili allo sviluppo degli olivi. Le piogge, ben distribuite durante tutto l’anno, salvaguardano gli olivi da stress idrici ed evitano il formarsi di ristagni che sarebbero dannosi sia alla pianta, sia alla qualità dell’olio. Le zone di produzione I produttori dell'oro del lago di Garda sono suddivisi in 67 comuni, per un totale di una ottantina di etichette. Le cultivar più diffuse in questo microclima mediterraneo sono Casaliva, Frantoio e Leccino. Secondo il disciplinare di produzione queste sono le percentuali di cultivar che devono essere presenti per la denominazione DOP nelle tre sottozone: Garda Bresciano DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino ≥ 55% Garda Orientale DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino ≥ 55% Garda Trentino DOP Casaliva, Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino ≥ 80% La Casaliva La cultivar principale e autoctona del territorio del Garda è la Casaliva. Si racconta che venne prescelta dagli olivicoltori della zona per l’ottima resa, la grande qualità e perché genera un olio delicato, fine, ideale per diversi abbinamenti. La Casaliva porta anche il nome di Drizzar, perché si dice che fosse in grado di raddrizzare le sorti del raccolto, maturando anche in maniera scalare e tardiva. Uno dei fattori che l'ha resa protagonista di questo territorio infatti è la sua capacità di adattarsi al clima e al terreno, di sopravvivere ad una gelata e di resistere ai parassiti.

  • Valeggio Sul Mincio: a Scaligeri Fortress, a Fairy Tale Riverside Village and One of the Most Beautiful Parks in Europe
    31 MARCH 2016 CATERINA POMINI 4941 VALEGGIO SUL MINCIO: A SCALIGERI FORTRESS, A FAIRY TALE RIVERSIDE VILLAGE AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PARKS IN EUROPE Crossed by the Mincio River and located about 25 km southwest of Verona, Valeggio sul Mincio dates back to the Lombard period and despite its small size, there are at least 3 good reasons why you should pay a visit: a 13th-14th century castle, a picturesque riverside village and a gorgeous “parco-giardino” which was awarded the second prize for the most beautiful European garden in 2015. Nestled in the Mincio Valley, about halfway between Lake Garda and Mantua, Valeggio sul Mincio can definitely be called a border village: gently crossed by a Lombard river, it is the last outpost of Veneto before you hit Lombardy and unavoidably represents a bridge between two regions, a confluence of two distinct cultures. The first thing that hits your eye when you get to Valeggio sul Mincio is the imposing Scaligeri Fortress, which was once incorporated into the massive fortification complex known as Serraglio and looms over Valeggio on one side and Borghetto to the other. Built between the 13th and the 14th century, the function of this castle was to control the “Borghetto ford”, which provided the safest possible passage to travellers across the Mincio River, a natural barrier between Mantua and Verona. The tiny village of Borghetto – as picturesque as picturesque can be – was established in the Middle Ages close to this extremely important strategic point and, through the centuries, witnessed the passage of millions of pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela, the Knights Templar, the Scaligeri, the Visconti, the Gonzaga, the Most Serene Republic of Venice, the French and the Austrian army.

    Valeggio sul Mincio Dintorni Localita vicine a Valeggio sul Mincio D Mozzecane G Roverbella H Sommacampagna J Villafranca di Verona Lago di Garda: laghi vicino a Valeggio sul Mincio Situato tra la Lombardia, il Veneto e il Trentino-Alto Adige, il lago di Garda è il più vasto di tutta Italia e presenta una superficie di 369,98 Km quadrati, un perimetro di 155 Km e una profondità massima di 346 metri. E’ considerato il più mediterraneo dei laghi alpini italiani. Al suo interno sono presenti numerose isole tra le quali la più famosa ed estesa è quella di Garda. Il clima è assai mite, di tipo mediterraneo: estati fresche, inverni dolci e abbondanti piogge durante il periodo autunnale. Anche la vegetazione è tipicamente mediterranea costituita prevalentemente da cipressi, palme, olivi, limoni, oleandri e aranci che sprigionano un intenso odore su tutto il territorio. Il clima favorevole e la bellezza del paesaggio, con la dolcezza delle vigne, le aspre rocce incombenti nel "fiordo", i particolari colori dei paesini, dei borghi e delle chiese, le splendide ville sulla riva, fanno del Lago di Garda uno dei luoghi più affascinanti e suggestivi della penisola, meta ideale di una grande quantità di turismo. Come arrivare: Il lago è raggiungibile tramite due collegamenti autostradali: A22 Brennero – Modena con uscita Rovereto sud (Tn) per lago di Garda nord oppure uscita Affi (Vr) per lago di Garda sud A4 Serenissima Milano – Venezia uscita Brescia est; uscita Desenzano del Garda(Bs); uscita Sirmione(Bs); uscita Peschiera del Garda (Vr) Le Stazioni
