Events

On Saturday 20 June 2026 the Caserma d'Artiglieria in Peschiera del Garda hosted the first edition of Tesori Liquidi Vintage Lugana, the travelling format dedicated exclusively to older vintages: over 30 wineries of the Lugana DOC Consortium opened their historic reserves, with more than 100 vintages of Lugana to taste. Talent Kitchen was food partner of the event together with Olio Garda DOP, Grana Padano and Maniva and catered the day.

A journey through Lugana vintages

The idea behind Tesori Liquidi is simple and bold: no previews and no latest releases, only wines that have had time to evolve. At the tasting tables the producers presented their own bottles, while from 6 pm the Wine Club Experience compared aged whites with other great Italian and international wines. The event was held under the patronage of the Municipality of Peschiera del Garda and with the support of the main sommelier associations, including AIS, ONAV, FISAR and Assosommelier, as reported by Elenia Stefani and Fancy Magazine.

Our catering

A tasting of aged wines needs food that doesn't overpower: we worked with local produce, Garda DOP extra virgin olive oil, Grana Padano, Maniva water and traditional sweets such as sbrisolona, with a dedicated station throughout the event. The team of Santa, our group's pizzeria, was also there.

At the Talent Kitchen stand we presented the Masterclass Vini del Garda, our four-lesson introduction to wine covering Lugana and San Martino della Battaglia, Valtènesi, Bardolino, Garda Colli Mantovani and Valpolicella.
