Hilton Lake Como, the modern-lifestyle hotel on the edge of Italy’s most famous lake, invites guests to experience a dolce-vita style break on the lake this Autumn with a host of new seasonal events and experiences.
There’s no better spot for an autumnal escape by the lake when staying at Hilton Lake Como. From scenic vineyard tours to sample the best of the grape harvest, to on-property exhibitions for Lake Como Design Week and seasonal wellness resets at eforea Spa.
A Vineyard Voyage at Harvest Time
September marks the beginning of the grape harvest in the nearby winelands of Valtellina, with no better time to sample the very best of the year’s crop. This season, guests of Hilton Lake Como can embark on a sensory vineyard voyage of their own that blends nature, craftmanship and relaxation with an exclusive private vineyard tour and tasting journey.
Arranged by the expert concierge team, guests will enjoy a private transfer followed by a guided tour of the centuries-old vineyards at their most vibrant. As the busy harvest season gets underway, they will marvel at the grape pickers and wine masters at work, learning about the traditional wine-making process and admiring the scenic alpine vistas and autumnal colours along the way.
From here, guests will head to the renowned Sorasso winery for a bespoke wine tasting session, where they will enjoy curated tastings of Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca), vibrant whites and delicate sparkling wines. With each sip telling its own tale of heritage, the journey culminates in the cellar, where guests can select the wines that resonate most to enjoy long after they return home.
Lake Como Design Festival Returns with Its Seventh Edition: “Fragments”
From 14th to 21st September 2025, the Lake Como Design Festival invites visitors on a journey through the city of Como and around its lake, exploring the theme ‘Fragments’ through exhibitions and site-specific installations. This year’s edition reflects on a world marked by division—whether through conflict, climate events, or social isolation—while celebrating fragmentation as a form of resistance and creative plurality. The festival offers a regenerative lens, embracing disconnection as a path to rediscovery, memory, and reconnection.
The programme will unfold across iconic and unexpected venues, including Villa del Grumello, San Pietro in Atrio, the Archivio Design Ico Parisi, and the Serra del Grumello—transformed into a café, bookshop, and cultural meeting point. As part of the itinerary, Hilton Lake Como will host selected pieces from the festival’s collection, reinforcing its connection to contemporary design and offering guests an immersive cultural experience within its elegant setting.
A selection of pieces by Belgian designer Joris Verstrepen, part of the installation “A Place for Contemplation” that will be displayed in the Chilometro della Conoscenza park, will also be exhibited in the internal courtyard of Hilton Lake Como. The bespoke works by Versrepen, consisting of sculptural benches will be installed on the wooden platform, creating a serene and reflective setting that complements Verstrepen’s exploration of design, nature, and introspection within a new architectural context.
