CONSORZIO VALTÈNESI: THE 24TH EDITION OF PROFUMI DI MOSTO IS UNDERWAY

Great anticipation is building for the twenty-fourth edition of Profumi di Mosto , the multi-day event celebrating the grape harvest through a unique itinerary of wines, flavors, and landscapes in the Valtènesi region. A journey along the Brescia shore of Lake Garda, visiting twenty-five wineries that will open their doors to guide visitors through an extraordinary region, where the Mediterranean microclimate meets hills and villages suspended between the lake and the sky. On the hills between Desenzano and San Felice del Benaco, through the inland towns (Calvagese, Bedizzole, and Puegnago) and the coastal towns (Moniga, Manerba, and Padenghe), guests will be led on an experiential tour to discover wines produced primarily with the native Groppello and Tuchì grape varieties.

" Profumi di Mosto represents a special moment for us: we open the doors of our cellars and the surrounding area to welcome those who wish to experience Valtènesi and its winemaking vocation up close, " says Paolo Pasini , President of the Valtènesi Consortium. " This land, suspended between the lake and the hills, preserves a tradition that translates into refined wines deeply rooted in their place of origin. Each glass reflects the Mediterranean character of the Garda Riviera and the work of our producers: a heritage we want to share with those seeking authentic, quality experiences ."

At each winery, participants will find three wines for tasting, paired with a food tasting designed to highlight their aromas and distinctive character. You can freely create your own itinerary or follow one of the three-stop themed tours, designed to showcase the diverse aspects of the Valtènesi, from the lakeside views to the inland hills. Nine tours: bay leaves, basil, lemon verbena, marjoram, lemon balm, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme, each with unique characteristics that reflect the identities of the wineries.

The 2025 edition also features an exclusive event: those who purchase a ticket for two wineries or a three-stage tour will have access to a special tasting day on October 19th at the Casa del Vino , where all the labels of the Valtènesi denomination will be offered for tasting. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the wines that best convey the history, memory, and identity of this noble and profound land.

Participating in Profumi di Mosto means enjoying a truly sensory experience: the aromas of must and wine blend with the flavors of traditional cuisine, in the unique atmosphere of the grape harvest amidst the hills and views of Lake Garda. It's an invitation to slow tourism, a relaxed journey from winery to winery that allows you to discover unique villages and landscapes, savoring the region firsthand. But above all, it's an opportunity to connect with a local area: not just tastings, but also direct encounters with producers, the exchange of stories and values, the discovery of traditional products, and the authentic hospitality that makes Valtènesi a place to experience with all your senses.
