Vespa scooter tour of Lake Garda with culinary stops and unique views

Have you ever tried the experience of a Vespa scooter tour of Lake Garda, aboard one of Italy's most iconic vehicles? This timeless Piaggio vehicle is perfect for those who want to travel the roads of the Benaco with the legendary two-wheeler, beloved even by movie stars.

All you have to do is hop into the saddle of your Vespa to explore the shores and hinterland of Lake Garda by means of unique tours that take in its minor roads as well as its most interesting sights. The ideal way to fully enjoy the wonders of this area.

A tour of Lake Garda on a Vespa is designed to experience some of the most scenic and naturalistic routes, with less traffic and parking difficulties. The tour includes gastronomic stops at typical restaurants and farms where you can stop for lunch or a tasting without the risk of getting lost or straying from the recommended route. Ideal for those who want to spend a carefree day full of emotions.

To start your Vespa scooter tour on Lake Garda you need to reach Moniga. Here we will provide you with all the information you need to download the app with the chosen route onto your smartphone. You can then decide for yourself whether to follow it completely or partially and whether to stop at all the stops or skip some.

The standard 120 km tour offers you the most pleasant and interesting way to circumnavigate the lake, enjoying the most beautiful panoramic views from both shores of Lake Garda. You will cross it by ferry starting from Toscolano Maderno (purchasing a ticket on the spot at a special price) to arrive in Torri del Benaco and begin the ascent to San Zeno di Montagna on Monte Baldo. Here you can have lunch in a splendid agriturismo with a natural balcony and a priceless view of the Benaco, sampling typical local and home-grown food. A table has already been reserved for you at a special price (including an appetiser, a first course, a glass of wine, water and an espresso).

But it's not over yet! The tour of Lake Garda on a Vespa will then continue northwards to reach the famous Strada della Forra, on the Brescia coast, and the Alpe del Garda where there is a historic local cheese factory where you can taste local cheeses and cold cuts (and buy them for yourself or friends). Finally, crossing the Valtenesi hills, with magnificent views of the lake, its vineyards and olive groves, you will return to Moniga, ready to experience a new adventure!
