Autumn at Lake Garda

The nice climate of Lake Garda offers an extraordinary variety of seasonal products, which become the stars of typical autumn dishes.

Must-try dishes

Hotel Campagnola offers a cuisine that celebrates the flavors of autumn with local, high-quality ingredients, serving dishes that tell the story and culture of the Garda region.

• Pumpkin Risotto: a classic of autumn cuisine, prepared with fresh pumpkin from the surrounding countryside and creamed with Grana Padano and a touch of rosemary.
• Tagliolini with Porcini Mushrooms: porcini mushrooms, collected from nearby forests, are the star of this dish, combining simplicity and intense flavor.
• Polenta and Local Cheeses: polenta, a symbol of mountain cuisine, pairs perfectly with local cheeses such as Monte Veronese, for a rustic and flavorful dish.

Olive Oil and Wine: Treasures of the Territory

Autumn is also the time for the olive harvest and the grape harvest. In Bardolino and the surrounding areas, the extra virgin olive oil from Lake Garda, known for its delicacy and quality, is the perfect complement to any dish.
