WHAT TO EXPECT
1. Valdobbiadene
After about 1 hour and 15 minutes driving distance, you will reach the foot-hills of the Dolomite mountains where it is produced the Prosecco DOCG wine. The production area is extended on the hills of the province of Treviso, between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.
Perfect for almost any occasion, Prosecco wine is crafted with Glera grapes (also known as Prosecco grapes). Served with different meals, Prosecco is a great aperitif, first course, or dessert wine. It’s also the ultimate foil for rich, salty foods as cold cuts. For the steep slopes of the hills, the vineyards are almost always been left in the hands of small growers. Here you will make your fist stop for your cellar visit and the wine tasting of their production.
2. L'Osteria senz'Oste
Therefore, you will reach a panoramic area to enjoy stunning views of the hills and you will have a lunch break in a local trattoria.
3. Villa Barbaro - World Heritage Site
In the afternoon, you will continue to drive along the foot-hills and you will make another brief stop to see from outside an important Venetian villa built by Palladio and included in the UNESCO world heritage list: Villa Barbaro.
4. Castello di Asolo
As follow you will reach Asolo, a medieval village that presides over a grouped range of about thirty gentle hills, along the PreAlp foothills. The streets of this attractive little medieval town, dominated by its castle, are lined with palaces painted with frescoes. The town is closely associated with Robert Browning and Eleonora Duse, the famous Italian tragic actress who interpreted the works of Gabriele D'Annunzio. In the main square you can have your ice cream break or a cup of tea.
After this stop, you will leave the site on the way to Venice. The ride will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes passing by the countryside of the region.
