FESTIVAL dell'OLIO NUOVO - New Oil Festival
CASTELLETTO di BRENZONE : 01 November - 30 November
Brenzone is preparing to host the New Oil Festival, a show dedicated to the extra-virgin olive oil from the Garda region which coincide with the Ancient Show of Santa Caterina.

This appointment with historic origins has always been of great importance to the farming world. The Santa Caterina show has been held for the last 120 years and at one time signaled the return of the cattle from the pastures of Monte Baldo. For the whole month of November, local restaurants will present various tasty menus where the new extra virgin olive oil is the chief protagonist.

Along the streets of Castelletto, a characteristic small village, an “Assaporando” (tasting) has been prepared for visitors who meander down this particular gastronomic way and discover the local specialities combined with an excellent extra virgin olive oil produced by local farms.

The production of extra virgin olive oil in this Garda area has readily achieved the first class title Garda D.O.P.

The particularly mild climate helps to maintain the correct maturing of the grapes. Oil that is produced here has a very high prestigious characteristic and is internationally recognized.

CHRISTMAS IN GARDA - NATALE TRA GLI ULIVI
GARDA : November - January
From novembre to gennaio si tiene a Garda il "NATALE tra gli ULIVI", per trascorrere le vacanze Natalizie o Capodanno in riva al Garda
La magica atmosfera natalizia torna assoluta protagonista a Garda, perla della costa orientale del nostro Lago, dove si accendono i riflettori sulla edizione 2011 del “Natale tra gli Olivi“, l’importante rassegna internazionale, promossa dal Consorzio “Lago di Garda E”, dalla Regione del Veneto e dal Comune e dalla Pro Loco di Garda. Una cinquantina di giorni ricchi di iniziative e di numerose proposte di intrattenimento. Garda ospiterà giornate dedicate all’enogastronomia tipica, gardesana, straniera ed extra-regionale. La città tedesca di Beilngries proporrà curiosità dal museo cittadino “Technikmuseum”, materiale illustrativo sul Parco Naturale dell’Altmühltal e specialità tipiche della Baviera con musica folcloristica. Seguiranno i prodotti tirolesi di Innsbruck; frutta, formaggi e ortaggi della provincia veronese; salumi, dolci e piatti tipici di Carrara, Pavullo nel Frignano (Modena), Mantova e Ostiglia. Piazza Catullo e il Lungolago Regina Adelaide ospiteranno un caratteristico mercatino di Natale durante tutto il corso della manifestazione invitando ad una tranquilla passeggiata nel centro. Animazioni per bambini e folcloristiche, spettacoli di teatro e musica, mostre artistiche e il Grande Presepe del Borgo saranno alcuni degli ingredienti di questa festa natalizia in riva al lago. Anche il capodanno sarà celebrato con intrattenimenti per tutti, a partire da una grande cena insieme, un concerto di musica dal vivo e gli auguri tradizionali. Sei giorni più tardi, il falò della Befana, tradizionalmente noto come “Bruiel”, concluderà i festeggiamenti natalizi. Per l’occasione sarà possibile assaggiare i famosi dolcetti del lago, i Sanvigilini, accompagnati da caldo vin brulè

JAMES BOND 007 ARRIVES ON LAKE GARDA
LAKE GARDA - April 2008
Lake Garda was the set for the new 007 movie "Quantum of Solace" in April 2008. The route from the Gardesana road to Tremosine (the "gorge" that Wiston Churchill called the eight wonder of the world), the road from the Tremosine port to Limone, and a strech between Cape Tempesta and Malcesine was used for the chase scenes of James Bond's famous Aston Martin.
