Castle Wine, Lakeside Dine!
Where wine, history and the lake come together
Morcote, a village of beauty
Morcote, on the shores of Lake Lugano, is often described as the “pearl of Ceresio” and in 2023 was nominated Best Village by the World Tourism Organization. Walk under the arcades, slip into the narrow alleys and along the lakeside path: the stones tell the past, yet the mood stays easy and elegant. A few minutes uphill, Park Scherrer changes the scene: exotic plants, quiet corners and sculptures scattered in the greenery. A garden that seems to sit outside the clock.
The essence of wine tasting in Lugano
The day then turns to the Castle of Morcote, where vines cared for by the same family for generations are farmed with biodynamic and organic methods. On the guided walk you see how slope, soil and people fit together; the place tells its own story. The highlight is a private Lugano wine tasting with the lake below the terrace, a chance to compare styles and understand what makes Ticino’s wines distinctive. Afterwards, dinner right by the water slows the pace. The still surface of Lugano does the rest.
