Fine Ottobre inizio Novembre si inizia con la raccolta delle olive, la maturazione è al punto giusto e le giornate sono ancora favorevoli. Vi invitiamo ad assistere al processo di raccolta presso Cervano e accompagnare i nostri preziosi frutti al frantoio, per poi vedere il risultato finale.

Io, Michele e Luca vi porteremo alla scoperta della natura e della storia del Lago di Garda, costeggiando in barca a vela le sue suggestive coste settentrionali. La partenza è prevista dal porto San Nicolò di Riva del Garda, situato alle pendici del Monte Brione: i venti ci spingeranno dalle coste ricche di spiagge e di vegetazione mediterranea fino alle pareti rocciose occidentali. Nei pressi delle Cascate del Ponale, ci fermeremo ad osservare i bunker, le caverne, e gli appostamenti militari risalenti alla Prima Guerra Mondiale. Proseguiremo poi in direzione Sud, fino a giungere nei pressi della pittoresca cittadina di Limone: qui è possibile ammirare le serre di limoni e di aranci coltivate fin dai tempi della Serenissima di Venezia che ne face merce d'esportazione in tutta Europa. Ripartiremo poi verso le coste veronesi dove ammireremo l'imponente Castello Scaligero di Malcesine reso celebre dai disegni e dalle descrizioni dello scrittore tedesco Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Prima del rientro in porto veleggeremo lungo le ventose spiagge di Navene e Torbole. La flotta a disposizione comprende 5 barche a vela (da 8 m. fino a 11 m.) dotate di ogni comfort e di bagno privato a bordo. In caso di maltempo l'esperienza può essere posticipata in accordo con i nostri ospiti.
