Creek Chic

Cocktails & Regional Tapas

Freshwater fish from local streams – and beyond – takes centre stage in a gourmet aperitif featuring tapas created by chef Stefano Rossi of Lido Palace, paired with exclusive cocktails by Leonardo Veronesi of Riva Bar. Setting the mood is The Fog Surfer’s vinyl selection from the 1950s and 1960s: a mix of rock’n’roll, twist, soul, jazz and tropical influences, elegant and engaging. All in the beautiful setting of Palazzo Martini, a historic residence in the heart of Riva del Garda. 

Choose how you want to enjoy the evening: start with the Basic option, 1 tapa + 1 cocktail, or go for the Extra option with 3 tapas + 3 cocktails. Follow the recommended pairings or mix things up, adding individual tapas and cocktails as you go. The idea is simple: eat, drink and enjoy the music at your own pace.
