Join us on this full-day tour (approximately 5 hours), to discover one of the lesser-known wine-growing areas of Verona, the morainic hills of southern Lake Garda. This area is not so touristy, so this is the perfect tour if you want to spend a day in a relaxed atmosphere, full of good wine and centuries-old traditions. Departure is from Pagus shop at 9.00 am, and first we will reach Custoza, where you will visit a local winery and taste 4 of their wines. The most famous wine here is Custoza DOC, a blend of local white grapes, perfect for lovers of white wines and for facing hot summer days. We will then reach Borghetto, a picturesque village overlooking the Mincio river. There, you will be able to walk in its streets and on the medieval bridge, and appreciate enchanting views that you will not be able to resist the temptation to capture in a photograph. You will be told the history of the village and the legend that gives rise to the so-called "Love Knot", the local tortellini for which Valeggio is famous. In Borghetto we will also stop for lunch in a local restaurant, where you can taste the flavors of the Italian tradition (tortellini di Valeggio included!), paired, of course, with another excellent wine! In the early afternoon we will say goodbye to the hills of Custoza and Borghetto and return to the city.

We had done the Valpolicella tour with Pagus in the past so this time we took the Borghetto, Custoza tour on a Saturday….Azienda Agricola Gorgo was our first stop and it was really wonderful because Susie gave us a tour of awesome grounds and then we did wine and olive oil tasting…their dog, Dracola, followed us around. The wine was soo good we bought several bottles of it and their olive oil (since Dracola was not for sale).
