Don’t just sip a glass of wine: learn to read the story within it. Our Lugana Masterclass is a didactic yet totally informal experience, designed for those who want to discover the alchemy of our land while having a great time. 🥂
Join Max and Filippo — our resident wine connoisseur and friend — right here at the hotel every Tuesday and Friday.
We called it a “Masterclass” because it sounds cool and, honestly, we think we know a thing or two about Lugana. But don’t expect a boring, stiff academic lecture! We’re just playing and messing around, sharing a few professional tips while making sure everyone has fun. It’s about the joy of wine, not just the labels.

We’ve literally hand-picked different bottles and styles, scouting for small local producers and independent farmers. You will taste “off-the-radar” wines—rare finds that you’ll hardly ever see outside the narrow streets of Sirmione.
The Soil: Discover the unique stratified clay of Lake Garda.
The Grape: Meet Turbiana, the vibrant heart of our DOC.
The Farmers: Hear the stories of local artisans we know by name.
The Taste: Experience the mineral, high-acidity, and elegant body of Lugana.
If you wish for a bespoke wine tasting, we are happy to organize a private session just for you here at the hotel. Whether you want to explore local Rosé, bold Reds (Bardolino/Valpolicella), or refreshing Sparkling wines, we’ll tailor the experience to your palate. 🎨
When: Scheduled every Friday & on request.
Where: Right here at the hotel.
Reservation: Required (we keep it small and intimate!).
The Goal: To give you the tools to “unpack” the easy complexity of our wine.
Know what you drink! Turn your stay in Sirmione into an authentic, fun, and unforgettable experience.
