About Bardolino Freddo

Il Bardolino Freddo is the food and wine event that reinvents Garda's red wine by serving it chilled, at 12-14ยฐC, on warm late summer evenings. Between the port, the lakefront and the historic centre of Bardolino (Verona), three days of tastings with dozens of wineries, live music, art exhibitions, craft stalls and food trucks. A new and convivial way to experience Bardolino DOC, promoted by the Fondazione Bardolino Top.

A new way to drink red wine

Il Bardolino Freddo was created to promote an original idea: Bardolino red wine served chilled, around 12-14ยฐC, 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 centre.

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 exhibitions of fine arts at Parco Carrara and Riva Cornicello, craft stalls and food trucks offering quality gastronomic proposals, from risotto all'isolana to cicchetti.

The wineries featured

The event, promoted by the Fondazione Bardolino Top 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 personalised kit directly from the wineries.
