In short: a box of Lake Garda wines is a corporate gift people remember: it tells the story of a place, it is shared at the table and it fits different budgets. In this guide to corporate wine gifts from Italy you will find why local wines work as gifts for clients and employees, how to choose between our four boxes at €69, €119, €149 and €189, how to request personalised boxes with your company's card, and how to plan your Christmas gifts in good time.

Why give wine from the territory

A corporate gift has two jobs: to say thank you and to leave a good impression of the sender. Lake Garda wine has a few advantages over the usual generic hamper:

• It tells a story. Each bottle comes from a different shore of the lake, a specific winery and a local grape: Turbiana, Groppello, Corvina.
• It is shared. A bottle is opened with family or friends, so the gift keeps “working” after delivery.
• It is recognisable. Lugana, Chiaretto and Bardolino are names many people associate with holidays on Lake Garda: an emotional connection that an anonymous product lacks.
• It is carefully chosen. Our boxes are selected in Sirmione, with wines from small and medium-sized wineries and local products such as Garda DOP extra virgin olive oil.

How to choose a box by budget

A practical approach is to divide recipients into tiers: staff and employees, regular clients, key clients or strategic partners. Each tier gets a box.

Up to €70: Garda Aperitivo Box (€69)

The Garda Aperitivo Box contains a Lugana DOC and a Riviera del Garda Classico Chiaretto, together with Garda DOP extra virgin olive oil and a few aperitif specialities. It is designed for 4–6 people and is a well-balanced choice for employees or for a large number of clients: it arrives ready to give in the Gardafoody box.

Up to €120: Lake Garda Wine Journey (€119)

The Lake Garda Wine Journey is a tour of the lake in five bottles: Valtènesi Chiaretto, Lugana, San Martino della Battaglia, Riviera del Garda Classico and Bardolino Classico. It includes a card with a map of the lake and tasting notes for each wine. It is ideal for regular clients and for anyone who enjoys discovering new wines.

Up to €150: Lake Garda Experience Box (€149)

The Lake Garda Experience Box is a complete dinner for 4: three wines (including a Lugana Riserva), Garda DOP olive oil, artisan pasta, sbrisolona cake and, above all, vacuum-packed aged cheese and morainic salami. Precisely because it contains cheese and cured meat, it is only available from October to April, so they always travel at the right temperature: perfect for Christmas.

Up to €190: Garda Grand Selection (€189)

The Garda Grand Selection is the box for gifts that need to make an impression: an Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, a vintage Franciacorta Extra Brut, two Lugana Riserva wines and Garda DOP extra virgin olive oil, in a premium blue and gold box with a personalisable card. It is the choice for key clients, partners and executives.

Personalised boxes with your company card

Have specific requirements? We can prepare boxes on request, with a different selection, a mix of price tiers or a card with your company's name or message. Write to us via the Contact page, telling us:

• the approximate number of boxes and the budget per box;
• whether you prefer white, red, rosé wines or a mix;
• the text for the card and any logo;
• whether delivery is to a single address or to several recipients.

We will reply with a proposal and the preparation time based on the quantities.

Christmas gifts: plan ahead

The weeks before the holidays are the busiest of the year for wineries and couriers alike. A few practical tips:

• Start early. Set your budget and recipient list as early as October or November, especially for personalised boxes.
• Check addresses. A tidy file with each recipient's name, full address and phone number helps avoid delays and failed deliveries.
• Consider seasonality. The Lake Garda Experience Box is only available from October to April: a great Christmas gift, not a summer one.
• Check shipping times. Up-to-date information is on the Shipping and payments page.
• Allow for vintage changes. For large orders, vintages or individual items may vary depending on availability, always with products of equal value.

Alcohol sold to adults only

Wine is sold to adults only, and the same applies to the recipients of your gift. When preparing your list, make sure that boxes containing alcohol go only to adults.

Checklist for the perfect corporate gift

• Budget defined for each recipient tier.
• Box chosen for each tier (€69 / €119 / €149 / €189).
• Company card text ready.
• Complete, checked address list.
• All recipients are adults.
• Order or quote request sent well ahead of the holidays.

Corporate gift FAQ

Can I include a card with my company's name?

Yes. The Garda Grand Selection already includes a personalisable card; for the other boxes or for tailor-made selections, write to us via the Contact page.

Can I send boxes to different recipients?

Yes, just tell us in your request whether delivery is to one address or to several recipients, and we will prepare a suitable proposal.

Why is the Lake Garda Experience Box not available all year?

Because it contains vacuum-packed cheese and salami: we only sell it from October to April, so they always travel at the right temperature.

Which box should I choose for a very important client?

The Garda Grand Selection, with Amarone, vintage Franciacorta, two Lugana Riserva wines and Garda DOP olive oil in a premium box, is our most prestigious option.
