Join Daniele Delaini, the owner of Villa Calicantus, for an unforgettable wine tasting experience. Begin your visit with a captivating story about the Delaini family's rich history and their winemaking traditions. In the cellar, you will learn about the meticulous techniques involved in crafting and aging wine in barrels.

Tour the historic villa and cellar, dating back to 1840, while gaining insights into the Delaini family's wine production methods, which follow biodynamic principles. Understand the unique characteristics of Valpolicella and Bardolino wines, as well as the region's distinct soil and climate.

During the tasting, enjoy five glasses of Bardolino wine—two rosé and three reds—paired with a selection of homemade bread, olive oil, pickled vegetables, locally sourced cold cuts, artisanal cheeses, homemade jam, and cookies. This generous spread is often enough to replace a meal, all while you listen to soothing jazz music in the background.

Conclude your experience with a stroll through the picturesque vineyards overlooking the lake. Here, you will learn about the biodynamic practices in action and the various activities taking place in the vineyard at that time. This wine tasting at Villa Calicantus promises to be a memorable experience for wine lovers and newcomers alike.

We can and would like to agree with the previous reviews. The wine tasting and the food were great. But that's not what made this visit an extraordinary experience. Rather, it was the staff, the atmosphere and the uncomplicated and warm interaction that made this evening unforgettable. We can and want to give this place a full 5 stars! Take a look at the winery and form your own opinion - you certainly won't be disappointed!

This winery is an absolute highlight. During our holiday on Lake Garda, we decided to give the rustic-looking Villa Calicantus winery a chance, booked a wine tasting and were simply incredibly impressed. The five delicious wines and the dishes served with them are pleasantly served by the friendly staff and explained in detail. You sit in a beautiful natural courtyard where very friendly cats also run around and put the customers in a good mood with their presence. In my opinion, a fully deserved five stars for a great winery that is not only known for its perfect wines. Just give it a try. Best wishes, Udo

I had the pleasure of visiting this lovely place and I was extremely satisfied. The service was impeccable, always accompanied by a smile and kindness that immediately make you feel at home. The dishes and wines offered reflect the tradition and quality of the ingredients used. The place is a true paradise immersed in the silence of nature, with a beautiful view of the lake that can be reached with a short walk among vineyards, which makes the experience even more special. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an oasis of tranquility.

We had a very pleasant vine-tasting experience. The wines are very good, and we bought some bottles. During the packing, the cashier made a mistake and gave us two bottles of cheaper wine, although we bought two bottles of more expensive wine. We noticed the mistake when we came home (to Croatia). We got in contact with them, and in no time they sent us the two bottles we originally wanted to buy via a postal service, free of charge. I can fully recommend the winery for a visit and tasting. They are doing a good job :)
