What you'll do

Since a long time ago vineyards and olive trees are cultivated and grown in our territory, from these products real delights are produced: the wine and the olive oil of Euganean Hills. Olive oil is certainly a source of proud of this area: we’ll visit an olive oil mill, where the producers will show us the art of olive oil production, and they will guide us while tasting the final product. We chose for you, then, one of the best wineries of this area, where you will taste wines paired with local products. Here the particular volcanic origin of the soil and the good climate allows the cultivation of various vines. Among the white wines: the Serprino, biotype of the Glera vine, is the “volcanic” version of Prosecco; the Pinot bianco; the Garganega, the Chardonnay and Manzoni. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmènere have found space among the reds. Between a walk through the vineyards, a visit to the cellar and several wine tastings paired with typical local products we will listen to the wise tale of the winemakers about the expressions of their best wines.

Itinerary

1
The Terme Euganee of Abano Montegrotto is one of the most famous spa resorts in the world. Our tour starts here.
2
Castello del Catajo is a patrician rural palace near the town of Battaglia Terme. It originated as a simple villa that was rebuilt and extravagantly enlarged in the manner of a feudal castle from 1570 onwards by Marquis Pio Enea I degli Obizzi, a member of a noble Italian family of French origin. Passage by car with no stop.
3
Battaglia Terme is located at the eastern end of the Euganean Hills. The construction of the Battaglia waterway at the beginning of the 13th century brought traffic and growth to the town, which dominated a central position at the confluence of several canals in the traffic network linking Este and Padua, the Adriatic, the northern lagoon through the Brenta Canal, the canalised Bacchiglione and the Adige.
4
The Euganean Hills are a group of hills of volcanic origin that rise to heights of 300 to 600 m from the Paduan-Venetian plain a few kilometres south of Venice. Here you will find beautiful landscapes of vineyards and olive groves, alternating with castles, villas and small medieval villages.
5
Known as one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy, the Valsanzibio Garden is now famous all over the world. The Garden is located in Galzignano Terme, a small town in the heart of the Euganean Hills. This area, from the beginning of the 14th century, was preferred by the Venetian nobility as the perfect location for their marvellous Venetian Villas: it was a symbol of economic power and, at the same time, an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Passage by car with no stop.
6
We have then chosen for you, one of the best wineries in this area, where after a visit to the cellar, you will taste the typical wines of the Euganean Hills.
7
We will visit an oil mill, where the producers will show us the art of olive oil production and guide us through the tasting of the final product.
