Visit olive oil producers on the lake's shores where the mild microclimate creates some of Italy's northernmost olive groves, visit a limoncello maker and see his tall and beautiful trees, or take a lakeside cooking class in a stunning home of a slow food graduate then savor your final evening with a sunset dinner at a lakeside restaurant featuring fresh fish and regional specialties.
