It’s an enchanting city with elegant buildings and fabulous boutiques; the centre is rich in history: there are houses and churches of every age and style in warm soft colours, charming corners, distinctive alleys, not forgetting the porches, the courtyards, the wells and the portals. From the very famous Piazza Brà with the "Arena", to the aristocratic Piazza dei Signori and the picturesque Piazza delle Erbe, to the elegant courtyard of the Scala Della Ragione and its panoramic Lamberti Tower, this is the lively heart of the city. The River Adige is at the end of every street and its old bridges are like "lace" reflected in the waters.

It’s the most characteristic of the Italian Pre-Alpine lakes. It’s climate proves to be extremely temperate and the vast range of flora, included species indigenous to different climatic zones, are a remarkable example for the outstanding features of this lake.

“Olive Riviera” is the name of the east side of Lake Garda: 50 km of beautiful and varied countryside due to a succession of coves, small bays, villages and castles embedded in an environment characterized by the consistent presence of olive trees and other Mediterranean plants.

Lake Garda offers valuable cultural and culinary attractions and our excursion includes an interesting visit of the local market and lunch in a very renowned restaurant with some typical dishes of the lake tradition.

Dante Aligheri lived several years of his exile in Verona. His son Pietro then decided to remain and bought this estate located in the heart of historic Valpolicella.

The house and grounds, twenty generations later, remain property of the Count direct descendant of the poet. Immersed in the vineyards of Valpolicella the Estate represents the nucleus of a vast and flourishing agricultural reality.

Our proposal includes a guided visit of the estate and its ancient cellars with commentary highlighting points of historic and enological interest. Lunch will follow with tasting of different wines such as: Possessioni Bianco and Rosso, Amarone and Recioto. The menu includes cooked dishes, desert, coffee and Grappa of Amarone.

The Ancient Rice Mill is possibly the oldest operating plant in Italy today. The archives indicate that the request for its building was passed to the Venetian Republic in 1644 and that it was put in operation in 1656. It has belonged to the property from 1920. The rice farm is a clear example of a family artisanship still bound to tradition and the high level quality of their rice is to be attributed to the absolute purity of spring water and to the love and patient cares dedicated to growing the rice. Fields are very little exploited and parasites are not fought by using herbicidal indiscriminately. Part of the energy needed derives from a big paddle wheel moved by water which runs under the building. The visit includes the rice fields, the farm and the Ancient Mill. Lunch will follow the visit and the menu is nearly entirely dedicated to rice.
