Le Caldane is an estate near Lake Garda that specialises in home grown, Bardolino wines. The estate…read morealso has spread into producing other wines such as Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese.
In addition to their wines, you can also get locally produced grappa, honey and olive oil (which is wonderfully mild). There is also a restaurant and lodging although I haven't tried these.
While visiting Lazise (a couple of km away) we popped into the estate to pick up some wine.
The Jucker family (who own the estate) are typically italian in their friendly welcome - especially their dogs!
The wines are wonderful, I can recommend the Sangiovese and the Bardolino. We've bought a few bottles for Christmas.
Nice place to visit with a welcome change of pace from the more touristy places nearer the Lake.
