Red and white like raspberry drops: Radiccho di Treviso

As colourful as candy: The route of the Radichio di Treviso

It looks like a raspberry drop or artfully blown Murano glass: the red-and-white striped Radichio de Treviso. This winter vegetable with EU-protected origin has been cultivated in the province near Venice for centuries and enjoys cult status among gourmets. Even a festival is dedicated to it in Treviso.
Along the Strada del Radicchio tourist theme road, travellers can visit farms and learn about the production of Radichio di Treviso. There are also historical country villas to visit, such as Villa Cornero, built in 1552, or the Badoere Colonnade, built in 1566.

Between Verona and Vincenza: the Soave wine route

In the eastern part of the Veronese hills lies the Soave PDO wine-growing area, which comprises some 13 municipalities. The region is famous for its straw-yellow white wine, which visitors to the approximately 50 kilometre-long wine route can taste at numerous wineries.
However, the route does not only lead to the region's cellars - old oil mills, palazzi and churches can also be visited. Particularly worthwhile: a stop in the medieval town of Soave with its almost completely preserved town wall with 24 towers from the Renaissance period. From there you also have a beautiful view of the vine-covered hills and green valleys of Verona.

Cheers!: The Strada del Prosecco

In the north of Treviso - between the foothills of the Alps and the Veneto region - the hilly Prosecco wine growing region is located. Its most famous product: the sparkling wine of the same name. Its variety and qualities can be discovered in the most beautiful way during a drive along the Strada del Prosecco. 
The theme road runs for 33 kilometres from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene, passing hamlets, vineyards and woods. In addition to wine growers who are happy to open a bottle for visitors, medieval castles, Romanesque churches and Renaissance palaces invite you to stop off for a break.
