Overview

A very Small-Group tour departing from Milan Central station for the transfer, either by train or by minibus, to Lake Como where we take a short walk in the charming village of Varenna and adjacent area. Getting back in our minivan we drive along a panoramic section of the lake shore with spectacular view heading toward a restaurant possibly where they serve some local dishes: cheese sauced buckweath pasta, venison and cured meat etc (on your own expenses, average € 30/35 per person) and after that we explore the nearby off-the-beaten-path region where we can admire the UNESCO dry-stone walls of the vineyards terraces and, if possible, a short visit with tasting of a local wine producer (on your own expenses, average € 20 per person). Finally we either take the train or minibus for the return to Milan Central station.
