Overview

A genuine family-run farm between Lake Garda and Verona, away from the crowds. Here you don't just watch the animals — a member of the family guides you to meet them up close: alpacas, horses, ponies, Highland cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys and friendly farmyard animals, learning how to approach each one safely and respectfully. It's hands-on, unhurried and genuinely educational — perfect for families and curious travelers of every age. The visit ends with a tasting of the farm's own products and local specialties — two local cheeses, wildflower honey, seasonal fruit and a drink pairing — each telling the story of the land and the people who work it. Pets are welcome, parking is free, and the slow pace invites you to reconnect with nature. An authentic slice of rural Italian life, just a short drive from the lake.

What to expect

Explore a family-run estate in the Veneto region of northern Italy, nestled between Lake Garda and Verona — a gentle, grounded way to discover rural life, just a short drive from the busier shores of the lake.

Guided by a member of the family, wander through the farm and meet the animals that live there. Alpacas, horses, ponies, Highland cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys, and small farmyard animals all have a role in the daily life of the estate.

The visit is structured to encourage real interaction. You'll be guided on how to approach, observe, and connect with each species safely and respectfully.

After the animal visit, continue with a tasting of products from the farm and the surrounding territory: two varieties of local cheese, wildflower (Millefiori) honey, seasonal fresh fruit or a small sweet treat, and a glass of agricultural beer or a non-alcoholic botanical drink, served with still water.

Each item tells something about the land and the people who work it. This is slow tourism in its most natural form: a place where children and adults alike are invited to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover what it feels like to spend time in nature with purpose.
