Locanda Margon is deeply intertwined with Ferrari Trento, one of Italy’s finest sparkling wine producers, and this connection is felt in every sip and every course. Their degustation menu, meticulously crafted to complement Ferrari’s elegant bubbles, showcased the harmony between haute cuisine and exceptional wine. Each pairing was a testament to precision, a seamless dance between flavors, textures, and aromas that elevated the entire experience.

From the delicate amuse-bouche to the grand finale of dessert, each course told a story, revealing layers of taste and thoughtfulness that only a Michelin-starred restaurant can deliver.
