A journey full of charm, fascinating history and culture, through charming villages, rolling vineyards, agriturismi and panoramic views. As well as visiting the various producers of Italian Prosecco, it’s also a real treat to stop off at a small trattoria every now and then to enjoy the sparkling wines.

Wine-growing in the hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in Veneto dates back to ancient times. The Prosecco vine was already being cultivated on these hills two hundred years ago. It is even said to have its origins in the drink ‘pucino’ from the Roman Empire.

Thanks to its altitude and climate, the region is ideally suited to the cultivation of the Prosecco grape: Glera. In 2009, Prosecco was awarded DOCG status, providing a guarantee of quality for both producers and consumers.
