Villa Calicantus
About us
Ours is a high quality viticulture, in which the center of everything is the well-being and balance of the vine: this is the only way to obtain a grape capable of producing long- lived and complex wines. Our goal is to bring Bardolino back on the map of great Italian wines, through a rediscovery of the true identity of a wine with enormous potentials.
Villa Calicantus is a small organic and biodynamic winery in
the heart of Bardolino Classico. Chiara and Daniele Delaini work 8 hectares of vineyards located on three of the best hills of the Classic area of the
Bardolino wine area.
From 8 hectares we produce between 30,000 and 40,000
bottles per year, based on the climatic trend of the year.
We have been working in organic since the beginning, 2011,
and in biodynamics since 2014.

Amazing wine tour and tasting! Read More
We attended the special tour/tasting on a Saturday night in September during their harvest. The winemaker led the group on a tour of the whole winery, including into the vines where there is a beautiful view of the lake. We then did a tasting outside on the patio. Each wine is paired with food. Come hungry because you get ALOT of great food. One of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Highly recommend a visit to this winery to support a small winery, learn about Bardolino wines and get a great meal.
Great wines and food Read More
We came for a wine tasting in September on a Saturday evening. The setting is beautiful and the owners are both very warm and friendly. The wines and food were delicious and the tour of the vineyard gave some great views across the countryside and over Lake Garda. We finished off by walking back down into Bardolino which took about an hour and had some great views over the Lake on the way down.
Villa Calicantus is a must visit! Read More
We visited Villa Calicantus during our trip to Bardolino and it really was a highlight of our stay. My husband and I came across the vineyard as a place to visit after seeing TripAdvisor reviews and we were so pleased we did! We opted for the total tasting tour which was an incredible experience learning about how they produce biodynamic wine and trying 4 of their delicious wines. Each wine was paired with either homemade or local food which really complimented the wine. The wine tastings and vineyard tour was also really reasonable and would recommend that it is definitely worth going for the total tasting.
Daniele the owner is also so passionate about wine making which made it a truly memorable experience. Thank you, Villa Calicantus!
Honestly, it’s a must visit during your Bardolino stay!
Just as good 4 years on! Read More
We absolutely loved this place when we visited back in 2015, so we thought we'd come back, and bring some friends. Always a risk doing that but we were not disappointed! The wine has gone from strength to strength and is even better now than before. Daniele and Chiara are really knowledgable and welcoming, and just put on a great afternoon with great wine and gorgeous local foods to try. They were also really helpful with organising transport back into the town. Highly recommended.
