Flavors of Northern Italy

Borgo San Donino

A few miles west of Verona and south of Lago di Garda lies Borgo San Donino on the Selva Capuzza wine estate. Nestled among working vineyards, olive groves, and truffle grounds, this beautiful, family-owned estate and farmhouse will be our home base, providing rustic comfort within arm's reach of the rich Veneto and Emilia Romagna producing regions.

Soaking in the surrounding beauty is one of the pleasures of this remarkable place. As you stroll its grounds, you might see people tending to the orchard or harvesting grapes just steps away from the restaurant and cellars where they are proudly served, or stumble upon stone-built remnants from its ancient past. Belonging to the "Strada dei Vini Bresciana del Garda" (Brescia wine route), the restaurant at Selva Capuzza features local produce in season and wine pairings with the estate's own Colli a Lago wine cellar.

After a day's adventures, restore your senses with a dip in the pool. Or, have some down-time in your room, enjoying the colors and soothing comfort of its environmentally-friendly decor, with touches of wood, stone, hand-worked iron, and natural materials like linen and cotton — inspired, as you will be, by the beauty of Northern Italy's landscapes.
