When my partner came back from work with a bonus, we decided to have the holiday we'd always dreamed of and go to Italy on a wine tour. After quite a bit of research, we decided on the Hotel Villa Sostaga because of its superb reviews and for its great location.
We weren’t disappointed - the villa was exactly like the photos, and the wines of Valtenisi were wonderful. I'd never heard of them before, but my partner had, and he was sure I'd like them.
I did- I’ve never drunk such interesting wine in such beautiful surroundings before. The wine itself was amazing- all of it is from a single grape, groppello and red or rose.
The wineries were welcoming and had great selections of the local wine and food. Set in the loveliest typical Italian countryside, close to the beautiful Lake Garda, we couldn’t have asked for a better break, and some of the local wineries combine wine and olive pressing which makes for a really interesting visit- we went to a farmyard feast in the most beautiful setting at one winery.
All in all, the area is highly recommended. A fantastic holiday at lake Garda.
