Magic Italian Christmas Markets

Program: from the 6th to the 24th December

Pandoro di Verona

Day 1: Arrival and accommodation in a 3* hotel on Lake Garda. Welcome drink. Dinner and overnight stay.

This refined, naturally eavened cake is the fruit of an ancient confectionery art. It is the traditional Christmas cake of Verona and probably got its name from its characteristic golden color, due to the eggs in its recipe. Some think it comes from an ancient, more humble family cake that the Veronese used to bake for Christmas: “nadalin”, a star-shaped cake, decorated with sugar, pine-seeds and anisette. The “real” history of Pandoro as we know it today starts in Verona towards the end of ‘800.

Day 2: After breakfast departure to Bolzano. Here the Christmas market is perhaps more important than elsewhere due to the great Germanic and Austrian traditions. The large Christmas market of Bolzano begins in the centre at Walther Platz, the city’s main square, and from there extends throughout the whole of the historic centre where you can admire not only the stands but open air museums, and performances for the young and old. In the afternoon visit Merano’s Christmas market where you can find typical hand-made gifts crafted by Tyrolese artisans. On the way back to the hotel a short stop in the town of Garda for a taste of Vin Brulè, a typical winter beverage of the area made with spiced hot wine. Dinner and overnight stay in hotel.

Day 3: After breakfast departure to Trento to visit its typical Christmas market, with kiosks and stands that sell many types of local merchandize and hand-crafted products. In the afternoon stop at Arco to visit the traditional Habsburg market in the antique district assembled by little houses built in Austro-Hungarian style. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: After breakfast departure to Venice. Guided visit of St. Mark’s square, the Rialto Bridge and other interesting sites of this enchanting city built on the water on a pleasant walking tour through the Venetian alleys and across the canals. Return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 5: After Breakfast departure to Verona for a sightseeing tour. A walk through the historic centre to see the most significant monuments of the city such as the ancient Roman Amphitheatre called the Arena, Juliet’s balcony, the Scaliger Family Tombs, Piazza dei Signori, Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza Bra, where you can visit an international exhibition of Christmas mangers displayed inside the Arena. Break for cappuccino and pandoro, a typical cake eaten only during the Christmas festivities in Verona, today famous world round. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 3: THE BIG EVENT! After breakfast, late morning, departure to a wine cellar in the vicinity of Soave for a first tasting of the renowned white wine, Soave. This famous wine represents about 40% of DOC wine production in the province of Verona: straw yellow colour, at times greenish, intense smell and dry, almost bitter taste.

At the end of the first tasting we proceed with a short trip to the area of Custoza (approx. 40 minute), situated in the hills that link Verona with Lake Garda. For centuries this area has been an important strategic crossroads of Via Postumia, the legendary Roman road, the stage of famous battles of the Italian Renaissance in the 19th century. The white wine Custoza Doc is produced in this area, very fragrant, almost aromatic with a soft delicate taste. From Custoza, in just 30 minutes, we move to the lower area of Lake Garda, that is the area of the white Lugana, famous white wine that is easily matched to many types of food, but given its strong personality, also with cheeses. This wine’s golden colour perfectly complements its decisive smell

and taste that is slightly reminiscent of wood.

At the end of this tasting we travel up the East coast of the lower part of the lake by bus passing the towns of Peschiera del Garda, Lazise, Bardolino, before reaching a wine cellar on the hills. The Bardolino Doc area is covered by panoramic olive groves and vineyards on the lake and enjoys mild climate all year round. Bardolino Doc red wine, easy to drink, ruby red colour, light and fragrant.

From here the group moves to Valpolicella, a hilly area between Lake Garda and Verona, already well-known in Roman times for grape growing. In this area important red wines are produced, the most famous being Amarone. Deep red, with a velvety taste, it is one of the most famous wines of Italy. At the end of the tasting we return to Soave for a brief stop at the hotel before reaching a wonderful wine cellar, for the gala dinner with live music!Overnight stay at hotel.

Soave

Program: (4 days/3 nights) Day1: Arrival and accommodation in a 4* hotel in Soave, welcome drink and dinner in a nearby restaurant before turning in for the night.

Day 2: After breakfast a brief walk takes you to the Scaligero Castle of Soave which represents one of the best examples of medieval castles in Veneto.

Built in the X century, it has always been a vitally important military fortress thanks to its strategic location. Walking through the fascinating medieval village surrounded by 2.5 km of perfectly maintained walls and a visit to the garrison house explains why this building has been so coveted for centuries.

Following the visit to the fort, one takes a bus to reach a dairy in the small village of Sorgà at the foot of the Parco Regionale dei Monti Lessini. A brief visit of the production workrooms will introduce you to tasting cheeses produced with milk from the pastures of this area. In the afternoon we move on to Verona to visit the city of Romeo and Juliet, with the famous Piazza Bra where there is the Arena of Verona; after the Coliseum in Rome this is the most famous Roman amphitheatre in the world. To follow, a visit to the characteristic Piazza delle Erbe, surrounded by the many historic buildings and numerous towers, Piazza dei Signori, the Arche Scaligere and the copious churches. Dinner in a characteristic restaurant in Verona ends the day, before returning to the hotel for the night.

After the first wine tasting we proceed towards a wholly organic agricultural firm. This company is situated in just a few hectares of ground whose variety differs in just hundreds of metres from clayey to chalky and even of volcanic origin. A walk amongst the range of vineyards with various tasting spots consents a sample of the assorted taste of the wines due to the differing type of this soil. Your packed lunch (distributed at the hotel prior to departure) will enable you to best enjoy this open air pic-nic. At the end of this tasting-outing we move to the Durello area to enjoy the bubbles of the characteristic Durello sparkling wine.

Return to the hotel and free time before dinner at a nearby restaurant and overnight stay.

In this area most of the agricultural businesses are still small, which for generations have been family owned and run with low yields and high quality. Moreover this region bears the important attribute of being composed of varying types of soil: this bestows the wines with different characteristics and tastes. The bus ascends the hills of the four valleys comprising the areas of production of the wines Valpolicella, Soave, Durello. Three DOC zones not many km far from one another! The view is rapt in a landscape of hills entirely covered with vineyards and olive groves before reaching the first wine cellar for an aperitif.
