Full description
Forget navigator and automatic transmission: here you drive for real (and in full old-school style).
Be bewitched by the vintage charm of a vintage car and get ready for a guided tour through the hills and castles of Lake Garda in a Fiat 500, a Beetle Cabriolet or an elegant Alfa Romeo.
A 3½-hour interlude of gentle curves, glimpses out of time and a few stops to mark in your memories!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before 09:00 at the meeting point in Padenghe sul Garda (BS).
After a brief explanation on the use of the car, we will be handed the keys to our travelling companion: a roaring vintage car with an unmistakable design!
Having climbed aboard our vintage car, we will follow thelead car along an itinerary designed to cross the castles of the so-called 'pearls of Lake Garda' or the moraine hills, depending on the conditions of the day.
We could then pass through the villages of Moniga, Manerba and San Felice del Benaco, or descend towards the Lugana vineyards, to reach places such as San Martino della Battaglia, Borghetto sul Mincio and the charming Castellaro Lagusello.
Along the route there will be four stops, one fixed at the Castle of Padenghe, the others selected according to the day's route, to enjoy the views, take a stroll through the villages or take a few photos with our flaming car.
We will finally return to the starting point. The tour will last about 3 ½ hours in total .
