Cruise the sheltered waters of the largest volcanically formed lake in Europe as a prelude to a delightful dining experience. The cruise will begin in Capodimonte, one of many picturesque villages tucked along the shores of Lake Bolsena. As the boat motors across the shimmering lake, you will pass olive groves, vineyards and dense forests. The two islands near the center of the lake are Martana and the larger Bisentina, both privately owned and almost entirely covered in Mediterranean scrub and oaks. Several Renaissance-era stone chapels can be seen rising above Bosentina’s tree line. The lakefront town of Bolsena is known for a miracle said to have occurred there during Mass at the tomb of St. Christina in the 13th century, a subject that the famed Renaissance painter Raphael captured in a fresco. Following the cruise, you will dine at a winery and sample several wines made from grapes that flourish along the lake.
