The 10 Best Things to Do in Bardolino, Italy
You’ll find vineyards and olive groves in Bardolino, as well as beaches on beautiful Lake Garda. This town isn’t as popular as other area resort towns, so you shouldn’t find huge crowds here (except perhaps during the local olive oil and wine festival in late September and October). If you’re traveling with kids, make a beeline for the Gardaland and Aqua Paradise amusement parks.

We visited Villa Calicantus after Reading trip advisor reviews and we weren't disappointed. Daniele is very passionate about what he does. He was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. The actual vineyard is small so don't expect a huge production. We tasted 3 different wines and did purchase a bottle of the final one! Each wine was accompanied by a different type of local cuisine - the first mushrooms in olive oil being our favourite, then local salami followed by 3 local cheeses. A lovely walk through the vineyards finished the evening with a chance to see the sunset across Lake Garda if the weather is on your side. Also thank you Daniele for your recommendation of Al Crespo in Garda - a wonderful tasting seafood tasting platter.

Lovely walkning path i central Bardolino. But croweded and lots of viking as well. Many runners care less for running över you, be careful. Anyway the walkning path goes by Riverside and you get a nice evening breeze after ski day in the Sun. Lots of possible stops can be done at bars as coffee places.
Don't miss it.

This is a free museum that was over expectations. You get information about production of olive through video guide in different languages. The exhibition is really demanding showing original tools. It's a must see, even if you have 30 minutes!

The perfect spot to spend a relaxing day and given the time of the year it wasn't heaving. Pretty much everything is catered for, inflatable lido's, quality loungers and even the rock shoes where provided (should you need them) to enable us to wade the few yards from the well maintained grass area into the lake for a welcomed cool down .
Food was spot on, the service responsive and friendly - prices pretty good too given the location I'd of expected a year in my eye when receiving the bill but was pleasantly surprised.
The guys sorting the loungers we're brilliant and welcomed us with friendly, prompt service.

Like many other old churches San Severo is now bits and pieces from over the centuries. It must have once been resplendent with frescoes that are now damaged and faded. However if you look hard enough you will see ones that allude to good and bad government, great beasts, and rows of saints.

From 2011 the company’s base and the main winery of Guerrieri Rizzardi was relocated to the vineyard area of Campazzi in the hills surrounding Bardolino. Within easy reach of the town of Bardolino, here visitors can book guided tours in Italian, English or German and experience the entire winemaking process from the vineyard to the bottling. The tour ends with the tasting of a selection of wines, extra virgin olive oil tasting and some typical local antipasti such as cold cuts and cheese. Guerrieri Rizzardi organizes during the summer selected guided tours for families and small groups.

We decided to visit the winery for the free tour one evening during our stay in Bardolino. Staff very friendly, knowledgable and approachable. Tasted 6 wines at the end and also requested to taste one not on offer, which they allowed. We bought a couple of bottles of the one we liked. Very pleasant experience!

This small museum is full of fascinating facts and displays covering the history of hunting and fishing in the local area. There are also excellent displays of stuffed birds of all breeds. The museum has computers so that you can look birds up for further information and hear their song too. There is also an introductory video as you go in as to what you can find in the museum on the different levels. Friendly staff help the whole visit be very worthwhile.
