About Taver

Taver is a dialect word of an indigenous plant, the hornbeam, which covered the area of until the 17th century. To give continuity to the history of the land, father Bepi chose Taver as the name of the farm when it was established in 1973. The winery has 20 hectares of vineyards and olive groves, scattered on the west shore of Lake Garda. Popular products include the Garda Classico DOC wines and Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP Garda.

The farm breeds pigs and poultry and the meat and eggs are served in the agriturismo. The rustic restaurant which serves traditional dishes such as spiedo (reservation required). The food is excellent for the price and it’s well worth timing your visit so that you can follow up your wine tasting with ‘pranzo di lavoro’, which is served every weekday lunchtime and costs €10.

The farm also produces its own olive oil which is pressed immediately in it’s own mill to ensure finest quality and low acidity. The farm also makes it’s own delicious honey.
