As you wander from hill to hill, you will be warmly welcomed in farms and vineyards for pleasant wine tasting.
The
Colli Euganei rise suddenly from flat land. The landscape is a succession of perfectly geometrical vineyards, Medieval villages and castles, Renaissance villas and patrician homes, churches, monasteries and hermitages still inhabited by Benedictine and Camaldolese monks. This is a jewel box of treasures inside a natural oasis protected by the
Regional Park and characterised by extremely rich and varied vegetation and by a land that offers precious fruits in every season: delicious fruits of the forest, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, jujubes, pomegranates, figs, delicate wild herbs and the finest honey and oil produced according to 700 years of tradition.
Along the Colli Euganei wine trail you can discover the favourite places of illustrious characters such as Petrarch, Goethe, Foscolo, Byron and Shelley. Magical spots described by Martial, Ariosto, Montaigne, Ruzante, Goldoni, Fogazzaro and D’Annunzio.
You will come to the
Terme Euganee, the most renowned spa centre in
Europe and a health centre famous for its mud cures. You can also enjoy golf, horse riding, cycling, trekking, bird-watching and lots more.
