Prosecco Road

THE FAMOUS PROSECCO ROAD

Embark on a scenic journey along the Prosecco Road, where rolling vineyards, historic wineries, and charming villages offer a taste of Italy’s most famous sparkling wine.

A Journey Through Veneto’s Sparkling Wine Region

The world-renowned Prosecco is made exclusively from the Glera grape, grown in the picturesque hills of Veneto. Originally, this light, low-alcohol wine was fermented in bottles, similar to Champagne. Today, the Charmat method is used, where fermentation takes place in large tanks before bottling with residual sugar, giving Prosecco its characteristic frizzante bubbles. Beyond the classic sparkling wine, variations include Prosecco Spumante, Gran Cuvée, and the still Prosecco Tranquillo.

Exploring the Prosecco Road – From Conegliano to Valdobbiadene

The Strada del Vino Prosecco begins at the Castle of Conegliano, winding through lush vineyards and charming villages such as San Pietro di Feletto, Refrentolo, Soligo, Col San Martino, and ending in Valdobbiadene. The journey can take half a day or more, depending on how much time you wish to spend savoring Prosecco in a traditional “Bottega del Vino”.

Culinary Delights and Scenic Views

In Col San Martino, an authentic Trattoria invites you to enjoy Venetian specialties, paired with a glass of Prosecco. A short stroll leads to the Chiesa di San Virgilio, a 13th-century church perched on a hilltop, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the vineyard-covered landscape.

Continuing west, a stop at the stunning Chiesa di San Martino, dramatically built into the hillside, is highly recommended.

Valdobbiadene – The Heart of Cartizze

The journey ends in Valdobbiadene, home to the prestigious Cartizze, considered the finest Prosecco in the region. The Cartizze vineyards, spanning just one square kilometer, produce limited quantities of this premium sparkling wine, making it significantly more exclusive and three times more expensive than standard Prosecco.

The village’s Piazza Marconi is the perfect place to unwind, where the grand Santa Maria Assunta Church and its striking bell tower stand as a local landmark.

Beyond the Prosecco Road – Panoramic Routes and Hidden Gems

For an unforgettable experience, take the Valdobbiadene to Vittorio Veneto route, known as one of the most scenic drives in the region. Between Valdobbiadene and Follina, breathtaking views unfold at every turn, with opportunities for hiking through vineyards and the Treviso Prealps. The highest peak, Monte Cesen (1,570m), offers spectacular vistas, while cozy wine taverns along the way invite you to indulge in local flavors.
