Lake Molveno and Grappa Distillery Tour with Tastings

About this tour

An eight-hour loop through northern Italian flavours and landscapes. Begin at a working apiary learning honey production from a practising beekeeper, then sample three distinct varieties. The day pivots to Lake Molveno, a striking alpine lake ringed by Dolomite peaks, where you'll find time for swimming, paddling or simply settling into the lakeside villages. Finish at Marzadro Distillery to witness how grappa and liqueurs are crafted, followed by a guided tasting spanning limoncello, gin, cream-based spirits and regional digestifs.

What to expect

You'll start at an active bee farm where the keeper shows you hive management and walks through honey extraction. Three tasting samples follow. Then transport takes you to Lake Molveno, where roughly three hours is yours to structure: some will wade or swim in the cold water, others rent kayaks or e-boats, take the cable car for ridge views, or stroll the town's waterfront. Bring cash for lunch—it's your choice where and what. The afternoon moves to Marzadro's facility where a guide explains fermentation and distillation through the production areas, then you'll taste a lineup of spirits in their tasting room.
