The sheer beauty of two distinct Italian destinations
Vittorio Veneto-Tarzo-Follina-Valdobbiadene-Soligo-Susegana-Venice
Embark on a journey through the enchanting landscapes of the Prosecco region and the timeless beauty of Venice. We are located in the province of Treviso, more precisely between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. More specifically? Among the Prosecco hills. A sparkling white wine known and exported all over the world. Just think that around 90 million bottles are produced each year. We can proudly say that this area has been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. A break from reality amidst nature, vineyards, wine cellars, abbeys, fortresses and small enchanting villages that add a touch of magic.
However, we cannot return home without a little visit to Venice and its lagoon. Venice, a city steeped in history and romance. Begin your exploration in the iconic St. Mark’s Square. Admire the intricate architecture of St. Mark’s Basilica and the impressive Campanile. Take a stroll along the Grand Canal and cross the Rialto Bridge, absorbing the vibrant atmosphere of this unique city. Explore the labyrinthine streets of Venice, discovering hidden gems and local artisans and as the sun sets, enjoy a romantic dinner at a waterside restaurant, feasting on fresh seafood and delectable Venetian cuisine.
Exploring the Venetian islands of Burano, Murano, and Sant’Erasmo offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of Venice. Each island has its unique charm, from the colorful houses of Burano to the glassmaking traditions of Murano and the serene agricultural landscape of Sant’Erasmo. An unforgettable walking tour through the Prosecco region and Venice that promises a perfect blend of cultural exploration, culinary delights, and the sheer beauty of two distinct Italian destinations.
