A wine from one place
Prosecco Superiore DOCG
Real Prosecco Superiore comes only from these hills, the steep hogback ridges between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene that UNESCO named a World Heritage site in 2019. The Glera vines are worked by hand on slopes too sheer for machines, and the tiny Cartizze cru at the very top is the most prized parcel of all.

Born in this city
Tiramisù, the original
Tiramisù was invented in Treviso, and the city still argues it keeps the only true recipe: savoiardi soaked in espresso, mascarpone, cocoa, and nothing more. In a local kitchen here you fold your own the Trevigiana way, usually between courses of hand-rolled pasta.

A city on water
The canals of Treviso
The Sile and the Cagnan run straight through the old town, turning mill wheels and slipping under frescoed houses and long porticoed streets. The fishmongers still trade on their own small island in midstream. This is the quiet water city most travellers rush past on the way to Venice.

Treviso's Most Popular Tours
Prosecco up in the hills, tiramisù at the table, the canals of the old town. The experiences most travellers come to Treviso for.
Where to begin
The experiences a Treviso trip is built around.
The Prosecco cellars, the steep Valdobbiadene slopes, the cooking tables, the vineyard bike rides and the canal-side walks. The handful of days most trips are planned around, and the best way to do each.
Up in the hills
How to taste the Prosecco hills.
The Conegliano–Valdobbiadene hills rise just north of the city, an hour of switchbacks through some of the steepest vineyards in Italy. Three ways to spend a day among them, depending on how you like to travel and who is driving.
Conegliano–Valdobbiadene
The steep hills of Prosecco Superiore.
A few kilometres north of Treviso the land folds into the Conegliano–Valdobbiadene hills, the only place Prosecco Superiore DOCG is made. The Glera vines climb slopes too steep for tractors, hand-tended row by row, with the tiny Cartizze cru crowning the highest ground. Cellar visits, hillside tastings and lunch among the rows.

Tiramisù, radicchio, and long lunches.
Treviso eats well and quietly. This is the home of tiramisù and of radicchio rosso, the bitter red chicory grilled with everything through winter. Sit down to cicchetti and an ombra of wine, take a cooking class in a local kitchen, or settle into a long lunch out among the vines.
See the food & dining experiences →A World Heritage landscape
Hills the UNESCO map drew a line around.
North of the city the country buckles into long parallel ridges of vines, the rive, so steep they can only be farmed by hand. In 2019 UNESCO listed the whole Conegliano–Valdobbiadene landscape as World Heritage. Walk it, ride it by e-bike, or drink your way slowly across it.
Ride the hills →By place
One city, three wine towns.
Treviso for the canals and the table. Valdobbiadene for the steepest slopes and Cartizze. Conegliano where the Prosecco Road begins. Asolo for the view from the hill.
By activity
Pick how to spend the day.
A tasting in the cellars if you came for the wine. A class if you came to cook. A bike or a vintage car for the hills, and the porticoes on foot when you want the city slow.
The wine road
The Strada del Prosecco.
Italy’s first wine road runs the ridge from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene, switchbacking cellar to cellar the whole way. Three stops that map the climb, from where the road begins to the cru at the top.
