Biodynamic Farm Tour & Wine Tasting with Local Platter at La Pesenata in Lazise

At La Pesenata, near Lake Garda, you'll be welcomed by owner and winemaker Gianni or his collaborator Davide for a tour of their biodynamic farm. You will walk through the vineyards, visit the apiaries, and see the woodlands that create a complete agricultural ecosystem. The tour is also a chance to meet the many animals that live on the property, including donkeys, ponies, horses, dwarf sheep, and peacocks.

After exploring the farm, you will settle into the winery's Paulownia grove for a guided tasting of 5 natural wines. The selection traces a path through the estate's production: Picus, a white Trebbiano; Bertin, a white Corvina; Aurantis, a skin-contact Trebbiano; Moretto, a Chiaretto di Bardolino; and Celium, an IGT Verona red. All are produced with minimal intervention, no chemical adjustments, and very low sulfite levels.

The tasting is paired with a Veronese platter featuring Soppressa Veronese, rolled pancetta, and local cheeses like goat cheese and Monte Veronese at different stages of aging. The farm setting makes this experience suitable for families, as children can enjoy the open space and discover the animals.
