VALTENESI THROUGH THE OLIVE GROVES AND THE MIDDLE AGE
Walking tour, visit to the oil mill and tasting of the Garda Extra Vergine Olive oil.
A walking experience of discovery in the lake Garda hinterland thanks to your feet and taste. Enjoy an olive oil tasting in the heart of San Felice del Benaco, one of the magnificent villages of Valtenesi. We walk together between history and culture, diving into the landscape of the Lake Garda hinterland. This fascinating path in Valtenesi follows the track of the Middle Ages through olive groves and little churches. The experience starts with the olive oil tasting to proceed in the landscape.
Itinerary
The tour begins in San Felice del Benaco, in the village of Portese. We visit the oil mill and have an EVO oil tasting. The route is approx. 8 km and has a total duration of approx. 4 hours. The itinerary continues in a loop to San Felice del Benaco up to the sanctuary of Carmine. Then to the hermitage of San Fermo and back to the departure point. Today San Fermo is a stunning viewpoint. The simple church tells us of a distant time, when streets were just paths traveled on foot or with towed animals. The small churches visible from the lake represented a landmark for the boats sailing the lake.
Olive oil tasting
The olive oil tasting includes three kinds of DOP Garda EVO oil and some small snacks based on Evo olive oil. It is pleasant to grasp the characteristics of this Garda DOP olive oil. The area of San Felice del Benaco is particularly suitable for the growing of olive trees. The lands display slight slopes, Lake Garda view, and breathe its mild climate. Unlike other areas at Lake Garda, San Felice del Benaco oil has delicate scents; the taste is well balanced. Try this experience for yourself and taste Garda DOP olive oil.
