A Summer of Lake Garda Wines
Summer at Cantine Scolari is filled with shared glasses, evenings under the stars, music, food trucks, and outdoor moments, right in the heart of Valtènesi.
Throughout the warm season, the winery becomes a meeting place to discover local wines, relax with friends, and enjoy different experiences: from the magic of open-air cinema to Friday apericenas, and even beach club-style weekends.
Cantine Scolari at the Polpenazze Wine Fair
From May 29 to June 2, 2026, Cantine Scolari will be present at the 74th Polpenazze del Garda Wine Fair, one of the most anticipated events for lovers of Lake Garda and Valtènesi wines.
The event takes place in the historic center of Polpenazze del Garda and has celebrated the region's enological excellence for over seventy years, with tastings, local wineries, gastronomic offerings, and entertainment. The 2026 edition is scheduled from Friday, May 29 to Tuesday, June 2, with free and paid entry time slots according to the official calendar.
A perfect opportunity to meet Cantine Scolari outside the winery, taste the wines, and experience the authentic atmosphere of one of Lake Garda's most representative historic fairs.
Cinema in Calice: Short Films Under the Stars
Among the most evocative summer events, Cinema in Calice returns, an evening designed for those who love wine, stories, and summer atmospheres.
One Tuesday a month, the courtyard of Cantine Scolari transforms into a small arena under the stars, where you can enjoy a short film in company, with a glass in hand and the pleasure of sharing a bottle.
The scheduled events are:
Tuesday, June 9
Tuesday, July 7
Tuesday, August 4
Admission is €15 and includes one bottle of wine for every 2 people.
Cinema in Calice is the ideal event for those looking for a different kind of evening: intimate, convivial, and immersed in the winery's atmosphere.
Every Friday: Apericena at the Winery
Every Friday evening, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, Cantine Scolari opens its doors for apericena at the winery.
A regular event to start the weekend with a shared platter, two selected glasses, and an offering designed for those who want to experience wine in a simple, informal, and convivial way.
The available options are:
Small platter – €20
with 2 Scolari glasses
Medium platter – €30
with 2 Scolari glasses
Large platter – €45
with 2 glasses from Scolari and Bottenago
During the evening, a drink and food list will also be available, to accompany the apericena with other offerings from the winery.
Friday's apericena is designed for couples, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to indulge in a tasty break among Lake Garda wines, shared products, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Bianchi-style Weekend: DJ Set, Food Truck, and Beach Club Atmosphere
Two Saturdays a month and every Sunday, one of the most anticipated summer events returns: Cantine Scolari in Bianchi style, in collaboration with Osteria Al Bianchi.
The winery changes pace and lights up with a DJ set, food truck, and a beach club atmosphere, perfect for experiencing the weekend with music, wine, and conviviality.
On Saturdays, admission is €15 with one drink included.
On Sundays, however, admission is free: an even more spontaneous opportunity to visit the winery, stop for a glass, listen to good music, and enjoy the summer with company.
Why Participate in Cantine Scolari's Summer Events
Cantine Scolari's summer events are designed to transform the winery into a place to experience, not just to visit.
Whether it's a tasting at the Polpenazze Wine Fair, a short film under the stars, a Friday apericena, or a Sunday with a DJ set and food truck, each event tells a different way of experiencing wine: more open, more contemporary, closer to people.
Cantine Scolari, in Raffa di Puegnago del Garda, is indeed a benchmark for those who want to discover Lake Garda wines, tastings, and experiences linked to the territory.
