Food & Wine Experiences in Desenzano del Garda

Desenzano del Garda sits at the southern edge of Lake Garda, where the Lugana and Valtenesi wine hills meet a working harbour of trattorie, enoteche and morning markets. Its food scene is rooted in the lake itself — freshwater fish, olive oil from the morainic slopes, and Groppello and Turbiana grapes grown just inland. You can taste that directly on a Sirmione: Lugana Winery Tour with 4-Wine Tasting, or step into a local kitchen for a Lake Garda: Cooking Class at a Local's Home and learn the region's pasta and tiramisu by hand.
