Ride a 4x4 over the terminal moraine above Lake Garda, learn vineyard practices that shape Custoza and Bardolino, then taste four DOC wines at a family estate. This three-hour tour combines mild off-road excitement with grounded wine education and local bites.

You step out of the jeep onto a low ridge; the moraine that frames Lake Garda gives the vines a stage, and the wind teases up aromas of grass, citrus and crushed stone. The 4x4 hums back to life while a guide points to rows of Corvina and Garganega, explaining pruning choices that shape the season’s yield.

History
The Tantini estate has been family-owned since the early 20th century; the modern winery (2002) processes fruit from 11.5 hectares of vineyards within a 19-hectare holding with an on-site B&B added in 2011.
Conservation
Local producers often emphasize estate-grown fruit and careful canopy management; stay on paths, minimize waste and follow the host’s guidance to reduce vineyard impact.

Bring sun protection
Vineyard slopes are exposed—bring a wide-brim hat and SPF to stay comfortable during the 4x4/evening tasting.
Hydrate between tastings
Carry a refillable water bottle; palate fatigue and sun make water essential before and between samples.
Wear stable shoes
Paths between rows can be uneven and occasionally muddy—sturdy, closed-toe shoes prevent slips.
Plan your ride home
Tastings include alcohol; arrange a driver or return transport rather than driving after the tour.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide traction on sloped, sometimes loose vineyard soil.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated between wine samples and outdoors on warm days.
