Declared as the 55th UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene are ready to be discovered.

The area covers a hilly territory about fifty kilometers far from Venice and just over a hundred from the Dolomites. The core zone includes the municipalities of Valdobbiadene, Vidor, Miane, Farra di Soligo, Pieve di Soligo, Follina, Cison di Valmarino, Refrontolo, San Pietro di Feletto, Revine Lago, Tarzo and Vittorio Veneto. 

The typical mosaic-style landscape tells of the ancient heroic viticulture. In fact, on an area characterized by a series of steep geographical features, interspersed with small valleys, the vine growers have been able to adapt to this charming unevenness thanks to particular type of terrace that replaces the use of stone with grass, solidifying the hill and reducing soil erosion. A practical solution that has contributed over the centuries to the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. 

The small ancient villages surrounded by vineyards and the scenic and silent streets give this place a fascination suspended in time, an intact ecosystem that serves as testimony of the peaceful coexistence between man and nature. 

Thanks to a unique microclimate, the Glera vine has found its maximum expression here for more than three centuries and makes this territory the natural cradle of the Prosecco DOCG, one of the most well-known and appreciated wines in the world.
