On the Franciacorta trail

Fly-In from Thursday, 26th – Sunday
29th June, 2008
Dear Members,
This year's Fly-In will once again take
us to Italy, to Lake Iseo and the Franciacorta
region. Following last year's bad weather
in Germany most of our members long for
sunshine, excellent food and good wine.
Charming wine hills, medieval
towers and feudal villas await us in the
Franciacorta,
the sunny region to the
south of Lake Iseo. There were vineyards
here in Roman times and since then first-class
wine, particularly the Franciacorta, has
been produced in the area.
Not just an Italian Spumante, but not
a Prosecco either:
These sparkling
wines are produced as if they were noble
Champagnes – and
that's how they taste, too.
The wine is produced from Chardonnay,
Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes.
Every lake is its own world
and Lago d'Iseo is one of the most fascinating
and most romantic on account of the variety
of the surrounding countryside.
The mountain
range that reaches as high as 2000 m,
Monte Guglielmo
and, of course, Monte Isola, the green
island that rises out of the water – the
biggest island in a European lake.
The number of fish here prove just how
pure the water is in this 251 m deep lake.
Part of our program will plan to visit
the RIVA shipyard in Sarnico on Lake Iseo
and one of the best Franciacorta Wine Cellars.
Anyone who fancies himself
as a playboy and real millionaires don't
just buy any old boat, they look for a
RIVA.
These long-lasting hardwood
vessels with characteristic stern and
elegantly decorated
bows, headlights set into the sides, streamlined
fixtures, chrome piping, well-lacquered
mahogany and luxuriously appointed cockpit
have been the Jet Set’s required summer
accessory since the 1960s.
Located on the hillside
with a breathtaking view over Lake Iseo
and the surrounding countryside, our little
Romantic Hotel Relais Mirabella has been
reserved exclusively for us.
Dear Members, we cordially invite you
to join us!
A Fly-In to look forward to!
Please make a note in your
diary: 26th - 29th June, 2008.
Formal invitation and program will follow.
With best wishes and Happy Landings
On behalf of the Committee
Wilhelm Schröer
