About This Experience
This sunset aperitif experience takes place aboard the legendary Molinari wooden boat, celebrated as the “Queen of the Lake” since 1961. Crafted by the renowned boatbuilder Eugenio Molinari, this vintage masterpiece embodies the timeless elegance and heritage of Lake Como. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the experience unfolds at a relaxed pace, beginning along the western shore near Colonno, as daylight gradually softens and the lake becomes quieter. Cruising toward the heart of the central lake, you’ll admire Villa del Balbianello, famous for its dramatic terraces and cinematic appearances, followed by the secluded beauty of Villa La Cassinella and the grand historic presence of Villa del Balbiano. As the sun lowers, the route continues past the peaceful village of Sala Comacina, before gently circling Isola Comacina, Lake Como’s only island - a particularly atmospheric setting at sunset, perfect for enjoying an aperitif on board. Throughout the cruise, guests are invited to relax, enjoy an open bar with prosecco and soft drinks, and take in the lake’s changing colors from the water. With its classic wooden lines, calm navigation, and refined atmosphere, the Molinari offers a setting designed for intimacy, elegance, and unhurried enjoyment. This private experience is ideal for couples, close friends, and guests seeking a quiet, sophisticated way to experience Lake Como at sunset, focused on ambiance rather than speed or sightseeing density.
