If you have been planning a holiday to discover the Garda area, you will have to expect far more of the natural and artistic beauties that have made the lake famous. The small towns bordering the shore are also distinguished by an important food and wine culture, strongly linked to an environment that has always produced excellent wines and tasty foods.
Industry experts and the most hungry tourists will have to travel to Torri del Benaco, a small hamlet overlooking the Veronese coast of Lake Garda. Beyond the important historic buildings, the country is in fact known for its very special "Festa dell'Oliva", a center of excellence around one of the most famous typical products of the whole area, Garda oil. Every month in January, for three consecutive days, the small village feeds on tastings, conferences, guided tours, workshops and other events: an innovative and fun way to accompany tourists to discovering the territory.
Between a bruschetta that is oiled and the other, you can visit historic oil mills and oil museums around Torri del Benaco, without forgetting the beautiful Scaligero Castle, where you can visit the so-called "Olive grove", where the traditional tools of this important agricultural activity are exposed. The Festival of the Olive of Torri del Benaco, as well as the Palio del Chiaretto di Bardolino, is one of many opportunities to get closer to a territory that boasts some of the best gastronomic excellences in our country. An unmissable appointment for those who want to test the typical flavors of the area and then move to the discovery of the territories where those same products originated.
