PRIVATE - Lake Iseo & Franciacorta — A Sparkling Escape

Quiet island villages, vineyard-covered hills and the pleasure of tasting Franciacorta where it is made — discover two distinctive sides of this beautiful corner of Northern Italy. With your private guide, explore Lake Iseo from the water and on foot before enjoying the flavours of its celebrated wine country.

Meet your guide in Sulzano and step aboard your private boat. Cruise around San Paolo, Loreto and Monte Isola, admiring green slopes, small harbours and waterfront villages that reveal the lake’s intimate character.

Step ashore on Monte Isola for a guided walk through Peschiera Maraglio. Picturesque lanes and fishing traditions bring you closer to island life, in a peaceful setting where the water is never far away. Enjoy free time for lunch before continuing your discovery.

Your private driver takes you into Franciacorta, where a guided visit to a historic winery introduces the care and craftsmanship behind its sparkling wines. Discover the Franciacorta production method, then savour three wines accompanied by a selection of local specialities.

Enjoy the conversation, compare flavours and perhaps discover a new favourite before returning to Sulzano with your private driver — a convivial conclusion to a day of island discoveries and fine Italian wines.
