Cinema under the Stars

July 17, 2026
from 6:45 PM

A sensory journey in the Ca’ dei Frati cellar behind closed doors, followed by a 4-course dinner featuring fresh, summery ingredients and paired wines.

After each course, the evening will be enriched with the screening of a short film paired with each dish, transforming the lakeside experience into a journey of taste and cinema under the stars, directly on the lakeshore.

A unique opportunity where flavors, images, and emotions meet in an evocative and engaging atmosphere.

From the barrels to the glass, all the way to the screen: an experience to be enjoyed between flavors and visions.

What will we do?

Immerse yourself in a unique and captivating experience on the enchanting shores of Lake Garda. Discover the history of a winery, opened especially for this event, with a private and intimate tour with the Dal Cero family sommeliers, Maria Chiara and Andrea. Finally, let yourself be seduced by the refinement of Ca’ dei Frati’s fine wines with a gourmet dinner directly on the lake at our Trattoria La Lugana. Each course will be accompanied by a short film, in an experience that combines taste, wine, and cinema in a unique atmosphere directly on the lake in Lugana di Sirmione.

The visit to the cellar and the dinner

The experience we’re offering for this special evening goes beyond gastronomy. Before dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Lugana DOC with an exclusive tour of the cellar (in Italian) at Ca’ dei Frati, open especially for this special event. The tour will be led by a special guide: the expert sommeliers of the Dal Cero family. At the end of the tour, you’ll taste our Ca’ dei Frati Cuvée dei Frati Extra Brut classic method sparkling wine as a toast to the evening, along with a savory appetizer crafted by our La Fenice pastry shop. For any foreign guests, the sommeliers will be able to explain the wines in English at the end of the tour and answer any questions or concerns.

Dinner on the lake

The evening’s menu features seasonal ingredients and is paired with four Ca’ dei Frati wines and four selected short films (in various languages, but always subtitled, even for international guests) that will be screened during the service of the corresponding dish. The following are the themes that will be screened:

Family: just like the family that founded Ca’ dei Frati
Tradition/Innovation: how wine is produced in our cellar, respecting the past but always looking to the future.
Family Relationships: wine, a special guest for every occasion in life, including love.
Territory: a continuous relationship of respect between nature and man p>ena on the lake

Chef Edoardo’s menu at La Lugana Trattoria (1km from the winery, directly on the lake):

  • Territory (starter): Warm cream of potatoes cooked in Lugana wine, double-texture lake bleak, sautéed in extra virgin olive oil and dried, crispy polenta chips, and marinated caper leaves, paired with Cuvée dei Frati Metodo Classico zero-dosage sparkling wine.
  • Tradition/Innovation (first course): Carnaroli risotto from Verona, burnt Riviera lemon peel, hill saffron, and smoked lavaret, paired with Brolettino Lugana DOC.
