Bardolino
Veneto
Bardolino is synonymous with wine, olive oil and dolce vita on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda. This charming village is the heart of the Bardolino and Chiaretto DOC area, wines that tell the story of the territory in every sip.
The historic centre preserves architectural gems such as the church of San Zeno, a 9th-century Carolingian masterpiece, and the Romanesque church of San Severo with its medieval frescoes. The flower-filled lakefront is perfect for sunset walks, with views sweeping from the moraine hills to the mountains of Trentino.
In autumn, the Bardolino Grape and Wine Festival transforms the town into a great food and wine celebration. The Museo dell’Olio d’Oliva (Olive Oil Museum) and the Museo del Vino (Wine Museum) complete a unique sensory journey into the heart of the Bardolino tradition.
