A very popular tourist destination, the splendid town of Sirmione rises on a wonderful peninsula that divides the southern part of Lake Garda, rich in attractions for both international and Italian tourists.

An equally interesting activity is exploring the various wineries scattered throughout the territory, some of which are particularly charming due to their unique locations. In these places, wines are crafted artisanally with skilled techniques passed down through years of experience, taking full advantage of a territory rich in viticultural tradition. Let's discover together the wineries of Sirmione, perfect for purchasing Italian excellence or giving as gifts.

Cà dei Frati

In the Lugana district of Sirmione, there is a very old winery founded in 1939 by Felice Dal Cero, who, after moving to the estate, started a true family business that has been excellently carried on today by the family of his late son Pietro. Today, Cà dei Frati covers more than 11 hectares where various types of wines are produced, initially in Lugana di Sirmione and around the Tower of San Martino della Battaglia, and later also in Valpolicella on the Pian di Castagnè. The artisanal production method involves processing the grapes separately to preserve their authenticity. Among the wines produced, we find options for every occasion: Frati, Rosa dei Frati, Brolettino, Pratto, Ronchedone, Pietro Dal Cero, Tre Filer, and Cuvée dei Frati. For more discerning palates, there are also premium grappas.
