If you are in the Veneto region at the end of May, and if you like wine, save the date! From May 31st to June 2nd, in fact, there will be held the Palio del Chiaretto 2013 edition.

The event, which is also known as the Rosè Prize, is held in Bardolino, in the Lungolago Cornicello, and you will be able to see so many stands of wine for the tasting, but not only them: there will also be a musical entertainment and you will see the Bardolino Confraternity Parade, as well as the investiture of the Chiaretto wine ambassadors.

As we all know, it’s been snowing all over Italy since last week, and it looks like it doesn’t want to stop, according to the forecast man.

If you are in the area or if you are planning to go to the Garda Lake in the next few days and you want to know what the weather will be, read this post and good luck with your vacation!

It looks like the average daytime maximum temperature will be around 9°C, and the minimum temperature for this week is going to be -1°C, reaching the -4°C level on Tuesday morning. It will snow until Thursday, then it will rain. You could also find sleep on Monday and Wednesday and be aware of the wind: it’s going to be really windy all the week, so wear warm clothes and don’t forget gloves, hat and scarf!

After having enjoyed the special and traditional cuisine in Veneto, and enjoyed this crazy weather where sun and snow perfectly mix together, relax in your hotel enjoying the fact that you are in the heart of Europe, amidst the Alps, where ancient traditions match with the modern facilities, offering you a great time to spend there before going back home to your daily ordinary routine.

Go for a walk along the Garda Lake, take pictures which can be great at this time of the year, especially around 5 or 6 pm, when you can enjoy a very nice and romantic sunset, having the sun glittering the water, offering you the idea of something magic.
