Lake Iseo and Franciacorta
From the Alpine Lake Iseo to the Mediterranean Franciacorta Wine Region
From March to October
A 3-day tour to Lake Iseo, a scenic destination nestled in the mountains and home to Italy's largest lake island, Monte Isola. We will enjoy a boat trip, get on the island and explore its fishing villages, lush gardens and lakeside promenades. We will then head to the lake's capital Iseo, a beautiful town set around a charming harbour, and visit the main points of interest. Next stop is the picturesque Franciacorta wine region, where we will have the opportunity to get insights into the production process of the so-called "Italian champagne" and to join a wine tasting. Finally, we will enjoy a delicious dinner based on local products.
