Christmas in Riva del Garda "From Taste to Taste

Piazza Garibaldi and Cesare Battisti are meeting and conviviality points. In every season. But it is towards the end of the year, from November until January, that the historic centre of Riva del Garda is transformed into a small gastronomic village. Here, between a wine tasting and a sampling of cured meats and cheeses, one discovers the taste of this extraordinarily fertile land.

A delight for the palate, a sumptuous experience, a festival of flavour: Trentino specialities, local wines and steaming mugs of mulled wine and hot chocolate add flavour to Christmas. The ‘Gusto in Gusto Christmas Market’ invites you to indulge in pleasure and proudly presents the tastier side of Garda Trentino. And the side programme is just as varied as the street food version of the small wooden houses.
