More About Veneto & Prosecco
Prosecco is produced in the picturesque and culturally rich north-eastern corner of Italy, an area that draws visitors from around the world for numerous reasons. As well as the sparkling sophistication and Renaissance splendour of Venice, Verona and Padua, there are, of course, the glorious rolling vineyards of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. It is from these aesthetically pleasing fields of grapes that the best of the famous fizz originates. Combining tours of the best Prosecco vineyards with the multi-sensory satisfaction of a visit to Venice will give oenophiles and culture vultures an unforgettable experience of this fascinating region of Italy.
City escapes
There is always something going on in the bustling and beautiful city of Venice. You can explore extensively on foot, but relaxation is better when kicking back with a Prosecco spritz while being propelled through the ancient canals by your very own gondolier.
A 30-minute train from Venice, Padova (or Padua) is a perfectly picturesque city to walk around. Take in the city’s atmosphere by visiting the 9th-century tower which has served as a fortification, a prison and an astronomical observatory. Peruse the three main piazzas and their markets with food stalls, antiquities and other treasures to take back home.
Verona is another gem to explore. From the elegant piazzas to the romantic house of Romeo and Juliet, the city charms in every corner. For holidays in style, enjoy an opera at the Verona Arena.
Nature escapes
Veneto boasts the largest lake in Italy, Lake Garda, spanning three northern Italian regions, Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Veneto. The lake-side medieval town of Sirmione is perfect to see a castle, explore ancient Roman caves and relax in thermal baths.
Veneto is also home to the majestic Dolomites, as well as other mountain ranges, such as the Venetian Prealps. The Dolomites are great to ski in the winter or to hike in the summer with stunning views of the surroundings. The Venetian Prealps are not as high as the Dolomites but they stand out for the cave formations, including chasms and sink holes.
Wine escapes
Veneto is where Prosecco wines are made. The striking features of the landscapes with hogback hills were recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. Here an aesthetic landscape combines with practical vineyard management.
Other wine regions in the area are Friuli Venezia Giulia, Conegliano, Valdobbiadene, and one of the most prestigious in Italy, the Valpolicella appellation.
Seated at the foot of the Alps, Valpolicella extends to Soave on the east and Bardolino on the west. Did you know that Valpolicella means ‘valley of many cellars’? No wonder you need to visit!
