Giardino Pojega
In the heart of Valpolicella, just a short distance from Lake Garda, the Pojega Garden represents one of the most refined examples of an Italian-style garden and a must-visit destination for those enjoying their Lake Garda holidays through culture, nature, and authentic experiences. A place where landscape, architecture, and winemaking tradition blend into a harmonious balance.
Commissioned in 1783 by Count Antonio Rizzardi and designed by neoclassical architect Luigi Trezza, the garden is renowned for its evocative “Teatro di Verzura,” one of the few remaining hedge theatres in Italy. Among sculpted hedges, geometric pathways, and panoramic terraces, the itinerary leads visitors through an elegant and peaceful setting immersed in the Valpolicella vineyards.
After careful restoration, Pojega Garden can now be visited independently with a multilingual audio guide, offering an immersive experience combining history, architecture, and landscape. The estate is part of the historic Guerrieri Rizzardi winery, active in winemaking since 1649 and deeply rooted in the local territory.
The visit is completed with an authentic Valpolicella wine experience, featuring tastings of iconic wines such as Amarone and Ripasso, paired with local products and the discovery of regional food and wine traditions. Among the available experiences, guests can also book a picnic basket, allowing them to enjoy the garden and surrounding vineyards in a slow, immersive way, fully embracing outdoor tourism.
Listed among the Grandi Giardini Italiani, Pojega Garden is one of the most remarkable cultural experiences between the Lake Garda area and Verona, ideal for those looking to enrich their stay in Lake Garda campsites and outdoor itineraries with a stop dedicated to beauty and tranquility.
Perfectly aligned with Lake Garda open-air hospitality, the garden offers a slow-paced experience suitable for families, couples, and travelers seeking authenticity. Visitors can end their journey with a welcome glass of wine and moments of relaxation among the vineyards, experiencing the territory in a deep and sustainable way.
A destination that combines culture, experiences on Lake Garda, and landscape—ideal for discovering the Garda region and its hills through high-quality tourism.
