From September 25 to November 8, the Garda Trentino region celebrates the Month of Taste.
Special events and experiences
The Month of Taste festival brings together events dedicated to the authentic flavors and local food supply chain of Garda Trentino. The festival features special events, experiences, food festivals, fall celebrations, meetings with local producers, and themed menus that showcase the area’s history, culture, and traditions.
Meeting master distillers and experts
Among this year’s novelties are the “Alchimie d’Autunno” which celebrates the winemaking tradition of the village of Santa Massenza. The Capital of Artisanal Grappa, despite being a village with just over a hundred residents, boasts a long tradition of distillation and is home to five active distilleries. On November 7 visitors will have the opportunity to meet master distillers and experts, take guided tours, and participate in sensory experiences and comparative tastings to discover the various methods of aging and maturation.
