Sadly, I have to edit my review after 2 years. In 2023 we did the same tour as in 2021. I'm sad to say the quality of the tasting and wine has become subpar. The mandatory fee of 25€ per person only covered 4 out of 6 wines; specifically the best two wines were out. The tour was shorter as well. In addition, the wines failed to impress.

For completeness I leave the (positive) 2021 review below: What an amazing place. You really feel like a proper guest here. The wine is sublime and the tour is amazing. Big plus for being a small family business with...
Read moreOne of my fav vineyards around Garda lake. All staff are very polite and happy to explain you how everything is working there.

We tried 2 different red wines as well but my favorite product here is the GRAPPA DI LUGANA. Prices are very good for the great quality of the products and this place just deserve a visit for the beauty...
Read moreWe had an incredible time on the Montonale vineyard tour. Sarah, our guide, was absolutely fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. She explained everything so clearly and took the time to answer all of our questions, which made the experience even more special.
You can really feel that this is a true family-run vineyard, where care, attention to detail, and a love for both wine and the environment shine through in everything they do. The wines were delicious, and the whole setting was beautiful and welcoming.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and heartfelt wine...
