Walking and Eating around Lake Comabbio
A food and wine walk around Lake Comabbio
About Walking and Eating
Walking and Tasting around the Lake
Walking and Eating is a traveling food and wine event that combines the pleasure of walking outdoors with the discovery of local flavors and stories. The setting for the day is Lake Comabbio, a small body of water in the province of Varese, traversed along a circular route that touches the lakeside towns.
A Route of Taste and Culture
The walk starts from Parco Berrini in Ternate and unfolds with gastronomic and cultural stops: breakfast in Comabbio with the story of the ice house, a break in Mercallo with the history of the kiln, an aperitif in Corgeno at the Canottieri club, a stop in Varano Borghi to discover the story of the giant bench. The final lunch concludes the day back in Ternate, with activities for children.
A Community Project
The event stems from the collaboration of the Pro Loco associations of Ternate, Comabbio, Mercallo, Vergiate, and Varano Borghi, with the patronage of their respective municipalities: an example of shared promotion of the Lake Comabbio territory, encompassing landscape, gastronomy, and local memory. A formula that has immediately met with great success, with places selling out quickly.
