Treviso and the Prosecco hills
Some call it the Garden of Venice, but Treviso is so much more: an intertwining of elegant streets, snug squares, canals that reflect frescoed palaces, and arcades under which everyday life flows. Walking through the centre, every glimpse invites you to discover more: Piazza dei Signori with its vivacity, the Duomo that houses the Titian Altarpiece, the Church of San Nicolò with its fourteenth-century frescoes, and the former Convent of Santa Caterina, today a museum with an archaeological section.
The Buranelli Canal branches out into the heart of the city: the houses are reflected in the water, lights are reflected on the rippling surfaces, and each bridge seems to be made specifically to stop and admire the city.
Gently skimming the city walls, the Sile River outlines the Regional Natural Park, inviting exploration. Here you can cycle along the GiraSile, paddle between the banks of the river, or follow the traces of history among the ancient water pumps, the local fauna, the testimonies of industrial archaeology and the Burci Cemetery.
Leaving Treviso behind, you will see the plain rise gently before turning into a hill. On your route, you will find villages and cities that preserve stories of traditions and art, along gentle curves revealing frescoed villas that whisper stories of ancient nobility.
Now, the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene open up before you like a mosaic of vineyards shaped by man over the centuries. Today they are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites not only for the beauty of the landscape, but also for the cultivation techniques that defy the slopes and produce a wine that is unique in the world.
Here, food and wine tourism is a sensory journey through historic wineries and vine rows, where Prosecco meets authentic flavours such as Treviso’s red radicchio PGI.
An experience to be enjoyed at a slower pace, with tasting sessions, trekking through the vineyards, and panoramic itineraries that always take you a little higher, as far as the next toast.
