Il Bardolino Freddo
Red wine served chilled, amidst music, art, and gastronomy on the lake
About Bardolino Freddo
A new way to drink red wine
Il Bardolino Freddo was created to present an original idea: Bardolino red wine served chilled, around 12-14°C, perfect for summer evenings on Lake Garda. The event takes place at the end of August in Bardolino, in the province of Verona, between the port, the lakefront, and the historic center.
Wine, music, and art
For three days, the lakefront comes alive with tastings of Bardolino DOC served chilled, accompanied by live music, DJ sets, and concerts. There are also figurative art exhibitions at Parco Carrara and Riva Cornicello, craft stands, and food trucks offering quality gastronomic proposals, from risotto all'isolana to cicchetti.
The wineries in the spotlight
The event, promoted by the Bardolino Top Foundation in collaboration with the Strada del Vino Bardolino DOC and the protection consortium, involves numerous local wineries. Tastings of Bardolino Classico DOC can be enjoyed by purchasing the event's personalized kit directly at the wineries.
