The Valtènesi con Gusto, a traditional enogastronomic itinerary dedicated to the enhancement of Garda DOP extra-virgin olive oil, starts again on February 9.  The festival is organized this year in 11 zero km dinners, which will involve restaurants, oil mills and wineries of Lake Garda in an itinerary full of suggestions and flavors in which the great protagonist will be the oil Garda Dop of the Brescia riviera.

The extra-virgin olive oil of the 2017 campaign will therefore triumph in the menus created for the occasion by the chefs of the locals taking part in the event, together with the other local products, from lake fish to cheese. An oil mill and a winery will be paired with each evening. The menus will be offered at a fixed price of 35 euros all inclusive and reservations must be made directly in each restaurant.

As we said, we start on February 9: the first appointment is at the Cascina del Ritrovo in Lonato with the Novello Cavazza oil (Manerba) and the wines of Cobue winery in Pozzolengo.

 

Second stage on the 16th in Tignale with the Osteria della Miniera with the Rocca Pietro and Rita di Salò oil and the La Basia Puegnago wines, third on the 23rd at San Felice in Villa Luisa with Paolo Vezzola Olivicoltore and the Avanzi winery Manerba.

 

These are the stages of March:
