In Malcesine, on September 27 and 28, 2025, Ciottolando con Gusto is back, the event that transforms the cobblestone streets of the medieval village into a fascinating food and wine trail in stages. Organized by the A.P.E.M. Association, the festival offers a unique experience of flavors, music and magical atmospheres to greet the last days of summer together.
The heart of the event is the itinerant tasting: with the purchase of a ticket, participants receive a map of participating venues and can embark on a journey through small squares and picturesque views, discovering typical local dishes reinterpreted with creativity by Malcesine chefs and restaurateurs.
The absolute stars will be the local excellences, including fish and olive oil from Lake Garda, aromatic herbs, cheeses and truffles from Monte Baldo, the prized Garronese Veneta meat and wines from the Bardolino Consortium. A perfect combination of tradition and innovation, capable of enhancing the gastronomic identity of the area.
In addition, participants will have the opportunity to visit the Scaliger Castle free of charge and take advantage of dedicated municipal parking, making the experience even more enjoyable and accessible.
Ciottolando con Gusto is much more than a food and wine event: it is a sensory journey through history, culture and flavors, making Malcesine even more special and welcoming.
