The Setting and Scenery
This experience begins at the winery located in Via Val Maria, Val Maria-pur. From there, you’ll walk about 15 minutes through the vineyard, following the signs to reach a panoramic spot. As one reviewer put it, “The view of Lake Ledro was just beautiful,” and it’s easy to see why. The microclimate here, influenced by nearby Lake Garda, results in grapes that are both aromatic and resistant — a fact that adds a special touch to the wine tasting.
The purposefully chosen location offers a vantage point that captures the entire lake and surrounding mountains. The fresh alpine air, mingled with scents of vines and meadows, makes it a refreshing break from typical tourist spots.

Reviewers consistently mention how relaxed and unpressured the picnic felt, with one saying, “We could enjoy it completely without time pressure.” Bringing a blanket, some sunscreen, and sunglasses is advised, but the winery ensures all the hard work—like packing the basket—is taken care of.
