The last day of our attendance to Fish&Chef in Lago Di Garda we visited the Paolo Bonomelli Boutique Olive Farm located in Torre del Benaco on the eastern side of Lago Di Garda. Being produced since the 90’s, Ca’Rainene extra virgin olive oil is considered the “best olive oil in the world!”. If you are in this area make sure to book an appointment for a guided tour and tasting experience.

After a delightful tour throughout the  Paolo Bonomelli Boutique Olive Farm we embarked on a stylish boat ride across the lake, arriving at the private dock of the elegant and stunning Grand Hotel Fasano, located in the Brescia/Lombardy eastern side of the area. Welcome drinks were serve with a refreshing Rosé, perfectly paired with Parmigiano mousse topped with crumbled rosemary and truffles.
