If you know you are likely get caught up in admiring the stunning views of the Benaco (the ancient name for Lake Garda), window shopping in Verona, or indulging in extra wine tastings at the wineries of <strong>Valpolicella<\/strong> or <strong>Valpantena<\/strong> \u2013 all superbly equipped for wine tourism \u2013 you may well find that three days simply aren\u2019t enough and may decide to extend your stay to a full week. In terms of transportation, driving is the obvious option, but you might consider being a bit adventurous and opting for cycling, as the whole area has great bike paths. For the truly adventurous, trekking is also a possibility, as the entire route takes around fifteen hours in total, which can be comfortably spread over several days.<br \/>\nThe starting point is Lake Garda and the town named Garda, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/villa-e-parco-degli-albertini\/\"><strong>Villa Albertini<\/strong><\/a>, our first historical residence, is located. The only section of the estate that is open to the public is its grand park, which was designed by architect Francesco Ronzani and extends across the hillside behind the Villa. This scenic park features centuries-old trees, greenhouses, chalets, towers, viewpoints, fountains and cascades fed by a pond at the highest point. After exploring the park, take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside. If you have chosen the trekking option, start the beauteous hike to Bardolino, the second stop on our tour. If you are in a car, take the road up to Madonna del Pign for a picturesque view perfect for a photo opportunity.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/visitbardolino.it\/en\/\">Bardolino<\/a> marks the first <a href=\"https:\/\/consorziobardolino.it\/en\/homepage\/\">wine appellation<\/a> of our journey, though it will certainly not be the last! If you are interested in visiting a popular, well-organised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museodelvino.it\/en\/\">Wine Museum<\/a>, head to the Zeni winery on Via Costabella, which showcases objects that have been on display since 1991 and an olfactory gallery. Another essential locality on our Garda tour is the charming village of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismlazise.it\/en\/city-of-lazise\/\">Lazise<\/a>, with the commanding Scaliger Castle presiding over the lake. We suggest stopping for a meal at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allagrotta.it\/\">Alla Grotta<\/a>, a restaurant with an adjoining hotel that has been serving fish from the lake since 1951. Alternatively, for a dining experience overlooking the old port, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tavernaoreste.it\/en\/\">Taverna da Oreste<\/a> offers excellent fish dishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The homeland of Shakespeare\u2019s Juliet, the largest lake in Italy and the world-famous Veneto region [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":14340,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,503],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-veneto-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Veneto - Exploring the area from Lake Garda to Verona via Valpolicella | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-the-area-from-lake-garda-to-verona-via-valpolicella\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Veneto - Exploring the area from Lake Garda to Verona via Valpolicella | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The homeland of Shakespeare\u2019s Juliet, the largest lake in Italy and the world-famous Veneto region [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-the-area-from-lake-garda-to-verona-via-valpolicella\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-18T19:52:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-19T10:54:42+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/villa-serego-alighieri-fruttaio.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"681\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-the-area-from-lake-garda-to-verona-via-valpolicella\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/exploring-the-area-from-lake-garda-to-verona-via-valpolicella\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Veneto &#8211;
