Tasting Among the Vineyards: the 3 Most Popular Summer Wine Tours
Before immersing ourselves in the most loved summer glasses, let yourself be inspired by Valtenesi Future: the promise of a land that preserves the balance between tradition, nature and responsibility.
A project that gives roots to our love for wine, cultivated with care, philosophy and respect for the landscape around Lake Garda.
Now, if you want to live a truly authentic experience, nothing beats our tours, which will let you dive into Valtènesi and Lake Garda through tastings and unique moments. Here are the 3 most popular summer wine tours:
1. Gran Wine Tour – a journey to live
A full immersion experience that turns a visit into pure emotion. You’ll travel through our hectares of vineyards and olive groves aboard the Pink Electric Car, among soft hills and breathtaking views.
Discover the production cellar, the historic 16th-century barrique and the Wine Theatre, which tells the story of Conti Thun through images and suggestions.
Then, in our cozy Osteria Wine Bar, you’ll toast with six wines: from the sparkling Brut Rosé “Bolle di Micaela” to Valtènesi varieties, through the Alto Adige Sauvignon “Contessa Lene” and the Rosso Classico “Leonardo”. A complete overview of Garda’s terroir.
2. Premium Wine Tour – the essence of Valtènesi in 3 glasses
More intimate, yet just as intense. You’ll visit the cellar, the centuries-old barrique and the Wine Theatre as in the full tour, but with a refined stop in the Wine Bar for a guided tasting of 3 selected wines: the Rosé Limited Edition “Rosa”, the Sauvignon Blanc “Contessa Lene” and a Valtènesi red “Michelangelo”.
Perfect as a food and wine experience on Lake Garda, it leaves you with an elegant and well-defined memory.
3. Paint & Taste Tour – wine and emotion on canvas
Here, wine becomes creativity. After a walk among the vineyards, you’ll taste three wines (a Rosé Valtènesi, a Bianco Classico and a Rosso Classico), and then… brush in hand: paint your emotion!
The canvas you create will accompany you home – the perfect sensory memory of an authentic Lake Garda wine tasting.
Why do these tours win hearts every summer?
Because here wine is something you live, not just drink.
Visitors feel the warmth of Lake Garda, the earth beneath their feet and the scent of the vines.
These tours are part of the heart of the wine tasting experiences on Lake Garda: lived-in places, narrated wines, an identity you can truly savor.
Each glass becomes a direct bond with Valtènesi, discovering the best wineries to visit on Garda while tasting products that tell a unique wine heritage.
And the side stories? Here’s how we tell them
Wineries to visit on Garda: each tour starts from our cellars, witnesses of the Valtènesi terroir and guardians of native varieties, especially the famous Valtènesi rosé, the star of both the Rosé Tour and the Paint & Taste.
Food and wine tour Lake Garda: each experience is enriched with snacks and tastings, from genuine cold cuts to typical cheeses, to accompany the journey in the glass.
The theme of Valtènesi rosé naturally emerges in the Rosé and Paint & Taste tours, highlighting local tradition.
In August, every tour at Wine Resort & Osteria Conti Thun is an act of beauty, slowness and authenticity. Whether you choose the full discovery of the Gran Wine Tour, the elegant synthesis of the Premium Tour, or the creative inspiration of the Paint & Taste, there will always be a glass that tells the territory better than a thousand words.
