Built in the 10th century to defend itself from the Hungarian invasions, the Moniga on lake Garda fortress is the best preserved and probably the oldest fortification in the southern part of Lake Garda. Don’t forget to visit the 18th century San Martino parish church and the Romanesque Madonna della Neve church. Moniga del Garda is the home of some of Lake Garda’s most famous and popular wines: Chiaretto is an excellent rosé that was a favorite of many, including poet Giosuè Carducci. The best Chiaretto of the year is crowned at the Palio del Chiaretto, one of the many events held during the famous Rassegna del Chiaretto e dell’Olio d’Oliva DOP festival in the Brescian area of Lake Garda.

One of the most characteristic events of this part of Lake Garda is held in December: the “Föm so el porsel” festival featuring locally produced sausages and salamis and celebrating ancient traditions. During this event, you can sample an assortment of sausages and salamis at the many booths set up for the occasion.
