We consider a collection of bosonic modes corresponding to the vertices of a graph $\Gamma.$ Quantum tunneling can occur only along the edges of $\Gamma$ and a local self-interaction term is present. Quantum entanglement of one vertex with respect the rest of the graph is analyzed in the ground-state of the system as a function of the tunneling amplitude $\tau.$ The topology of $\Gamma$ plays a major role in determining the tunneling amplitude $\tau^*$ which leads to the maximum ground-state entanglement. Whereas in most of the cases one finds the intuitively expected result $\tau^*=\infty$ we show that it there exists a family of graphs for which the optimal value of$\tau$ is pushed down to a finite value. We also show that, for complete graphs, our bi-partite entanglement provides useful insights in the analysis of the cross-over between insulating and superfluid ground states
