Holiday in Prosecco Road

About Prosecco Road

The Prosecco Road (Strada del Prosecco e Vini dei Colli Conegliano Valdobbiadene) winds through the picturesque hilly landscapes of Veneto between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene — an area that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. Over approximately 50 kilometers, one traverses a landscape of steeply terraced vineyards, medieval Borghi, and small wineries where the world-famous Prosecco DOCG is produced. The Glera grape, from which Prosecco is made, has thrived here for centuries on the calcareous soils of the Colline Trevigiane. Over 150 wineries and enotecas along the route offer tastings, often with views over the gently rolling landscape. Particularly recommended are the Cantine of Cartizze, whose eponymous location is considered a Grand Cru of Prosecco and commands bottle prices well above average. Coneglliano, the eastern starting point, is home to the oldest wine school in Italy (founded in 1876) and offers a charming introduction with its historic town crowned by a castle. Valdobbiadene at the western end is the heart of production with numerous wineries and the annual Prosecco Festival. Between the two towns lie villages like Fol, Rolle, and San Pietro di Feletto, which entice with Romanesque churches and panoramic trattorias. The Prosecco Road can be ideally explored by car, bicycle, or e-bike and is just an hour north of Venice.
