Location
The town of Conegliano lies at the foothills of the Alps, in the Northern part of the Veneto Region and it is known and acclaimed around the world for its wine production, the famous Prosecco, a crisp white wine that can be sparkling or still.
Medieval Conegliano is an attraction in itself, brimming with historical charm but it is also a particularly good starting point to explore the Northern part of Italy thanks to its favourable position linked by road and train to some of the most beautiful architectural and natural treasures of Italy.
Following are just some of the places of interest within easy reach from Conegliano.
You can visit them on your own or I can take you there by car or train which will give you the chance to enjoy the scenery without worrying about driving. All you have to do is tell me what your interests are and we will make a plan. Is art your thing? Or would you rather go for a hike in the Dolomites? Why not take a drive to Lake Garda or cycle around the local hills? Maybe a wine tasting session or a walk through the markets. Just say the word and we will make it happen. You are my Guest and by the time you leave this amazing part of the world I hope you will take some of it with you.
