THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

You step off the minivan onto a narrow road that curves along green rows of glera vines. The air tastes faintly of citrus and yeast, and a sloping amphitheater of hills opens between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Sunlight cuts across orderly trellises; a stone mill wheel turns faintly at Molinetto della Croda, and church bells mark time in a nearby village.

History

The Prosecco hills landscape evolved over centuries of small-scale viticulture; the area's land-use pattern earned UNESCO recognition in 2019 for cultural and agricultural significance.

Conservation

Local producers increasingly adopt sustainable and organic viticulture to prevent soil erosion on steep slopes and to preserve the region’s terrace-based landscape.
