Wine Tasting with Food Pairing at Lake Como

Discover the wines and flavors of the Italian Lakes in an intimate, welcoming enoteca setting.


This Lake Como wine tasting invites you into a cozy local enoteca just ten minutes on foot from the lake's legendary shores, where four carefully chosen regional wines are paired with authentic Italian food to create a genuine taste of Lombardy.

The experience is structured around quality and locality, with each wine selected to reflect the character of the surrounding Italian Lakes region. Your host guides you through the nuances of each pour, offering context about the vineyards and traditions behind every bottle.

Food pairings are designed to complement and contrast the wines. Guests can enjoy a curated platter of cured meats and aged cheeses, or choose from a selection of pizzas, panzarotti, calzones, and stuffed focaccias for a heartier accompaniment.

Younger guests are not left out: a non-alcoholic beverage and a slice of pizza are included, making this a welcoming stop for families exploring the Lake Como area together.
