A classic summer’s day, the urge to be outdoors breathing in the delicate scents of pastures alongside some deliciously typical local produce; with the added incentive to go back to childhood and not to worry about a thing: no problem, just head for Valchiavenna! Your very own picnic basket is ready and waiting!
A picnic all lightness and flavours, summer delights. A combination of Taste and Nature. Half and half.
What could be better than choosing a 100% guaranteed safe and secure Valchiavenna; where everything has been considered and everyone is ready and waiting to welcome you with a wide range of proposals to suit all tastes. You might stop within the genuinely tranquil ambience of the Pian di Spagna taking along orange-treated rice with whitefish from the lake, or maybe choose the shade of the age-old horse chestnuts in the fine Pratogiano park at the very heart of Chiavenna to combine some quality rye breads with a selection of local cold cured meats. Or just next door in Valtellina you might fall head over heels for the magnificent Bitto and flavoursome mozzarella, basil from the garden and oil from Lake Como to be enjoyed within the deep lush greenery.
Not quite yet? Okay. Imagine yourself in a vineyard, sipping a quality white wine, or indeed right next to the billowing fine sprays of the Acqua Fraggia waterfalls with brisaola (yes with an “i”) the freshest of salads and caciotta goat’s cheese. Or are you more dashingly sportive? You’re well catered for too! Why not rent an e-bike and head up to the stone-based baite mountain dwellings around Savogno to appreciate a wild-herb omelette or a savoury brioche with brisaola, pears, scimudin cheese and mint. And if altitude is on your agenda, you can head for Madesimo for your very own picnic based on a savoury spinach and magnocca cheese pie midst the wooden tables and nature of the Pian del Gioc.
Whether you go for traditional or the more sophisticated, the picnic 4.0 has got to be part of your day.
The choice is all yours. Book now!
