A new Bardolino wine festival shuttle is launching for the 2026 edition of the Festa dell’Uva e del Vino, offering a safe late-night return service along the eastern shore of Lake Garda.
Timetable and Route
Organized by the Destination Verona & Garda Foundation (DVG) in collaboration with local municipalities, the dedicated bus operates on October 1, 2, and 3. The service addresses a concrete need for residents and tourists attending the highly anticipated autumn event.
Departures are scheduled from Piazzale Aldo Moro in Bardolino at 22:30 and 00:30. The route travels north towards Malcesine, making scheduled stops at Torri del Benaco, Pai, Castelletto, Porto di Brenzone, and Val di Sogno. The regular daytime ATV public transport lines guarantee the inbound journey to Bardolino.
Tickets and Autumn Tourism
The ticket costs 10 euros and includes the Garda Veneto Guest Card. Visitors can purchase tickets online via the official Destination Verona & Garda website up to 30 minutes before departure. Remaining seats can be purchased in cash directly on the bus.
The festival arrives during a robust autumn tourism season. According to recent data from the DVG observatory, hotel occupancy in Bardolino has reached 78.3% for the early October period, outperforming the previous year and signaling strong demand for wine and food events on Lake Garda.
