Exclusive Cooking Class & Biodynamic Wine Experience on Lake Garda

There are places where the land tells stories of respect and dedication, and this historic winery in Polpenazze is one of them. Nestled in the heart of Valtènesi, where the morainic hills embrace Lake Garda, this estate is an exclusive location following the rhythms of biodynamic viticulture.

Your experience begins with a refreshing walk through the rows of vines accompanied by the owners: forty minutes to breathe in the mild lake air and discover how every cluster is nurtured to become a pure expression of the Brescia territory.

Cooking Class in the Winery: The Art of Homemade Pasta

From the soil to the kitchen, but not before celebrating our meeting with an exceptional welcome drink. Welcomed by the first sip of a refined local wine, you will take part in one of the most authentic cooking classes on Lake Garda.

Under the expert guidance of our professional Chef, flour will take shape: you will learn the secrets of handmade fresh pasta and the delicacy of traditional desserts in an informal, lighthearted atmosphere. In this private and exclusive cooking class, you will be the true creators of a seasonal menu designed to enhance the authentic flavors of Italy and the scents of the Garda region.

Wine Tasting & Culinary Secrets

As your hands work and curiosity grows, a second glass of estate-produced wine will be served for a tasting to accompany the storytelling of the recipes. These are two hours of authentic sharing, where culinary technique merges with the joy of discovery, surrounded by the floral scents wafting from the garden.

It is the perfect moment to learn the "tricks of the trade" and discover how local ingredients transform into unforgettable dishes during this private gastronomic experience.

Lunch in the Historic Cellar or the Courtyard: The Joy of Conviviality

The climax of the day is the moment of conviviality. Once the lesson is over, work gives way to total relaxation: in summer, we will sit in the magnificent outdoor area of the winery to enjoy what we have cooked together. Alternatively, we will be welcomed by the historic tasting room with its original stone walls.

Every dish will be elevated by pairings with the estate’s biodynamic wines, creating a perfect harmony between food and glass. Between smiles and toasts, you will experience the joy of a "slow lunch," immersed in a magical atmosphere that makes this activity one of the best things to do on Lake Garda.
