Wine tasting · Sirmione, Lake Garda
An evening dedicated to the two white wines of southern Lake Garda: Lugana and San Martino della Battaglia. Four glasses from four wineries, presented by Adele Gorni Silvestrini, Food & Wine marketing consultant, with a board of cheese and cured meats in the Talent Kitchen kitchen in Sirmione.
The two appellations were born a few kilometres apart, between Sirmione, Desenzano and Pozzolengo. Lugana is the best-known white wine of the lake; San Martino della Battaglia is a small, lesser-known DOC. Tasting them side by side is the easiest way to see how different two wines from the same land can be.
Everyone at one long table, with glasses and a tasting sheet. First the San Martino della Battaglia wines, then the Lugana: for each wine the story of the winery, then the tasting and a comparison of the aromas using the aroma wheel on screen.
A board of cheese and cured meats with bread, served with the wines.
We organise Lugana, Franciacorta and Lake Garda wine tastings for private groups, companies and parties too: see our wine tastings in Sirmione or write to us.







Check the calendar for the next dates, or book it just for your group, on the date you prefer.
