The Prosecco Hills are located between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the province of
Treviso in the Veneto region, in the north-east of east of Italy. The area is exceptional because it produces a wine of international prestige: a sparkling white wine that is exported all over the world and of which more than 90 million bottles are produced every year. In 2019, this area was recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
In the land of Prosecco, beauty and taste blend harmoniously, inviting visitors on a voyage of discovery between wineries and small towns, surrounded by terraces and vineyards, abbeys and fortresses

The last two days you will explore Sant Erasmo, a beautiful island in the Venice lagoon, and explore Venice itself.
The „Strada del Prosecco“ meanders through steep slopes covered with vineyards and forests, in a beautiful landscape.
