Euganei Hills Wine Route
The Euganei Hills seem to erupt spontaneously from the surrounding flatlands. In fact, these hills surfaced during volcanic activity millions of years ago to produce what is now the protected Euganei Hills Natural Park in the province of Padua.
Our wine route snakes through prehistoric lava mounds, some of the richest soil in the territory. The plant life that characterizes this area is rich and lush-producing not only abundant grapes, but also fruit orchards and olive groves. The Euganei Hills olive oil is known for its rich and flavorful quality.
The landscape is marked by the perfect geometrical layout of the vineyards, medieval hamlets, monasteries and castles as well as noble family estates dating back to Renaissance times.
This is not just an area dedicated to wine production and agriculture, but is also to art and literature. The area boasts the vacation patronage of many famous contemporary writers and artists.
Along our tour we will take you agricultural establishments and wineries where you can taste for yourself the local produce, cheeses and wines. We will bring to specialized shops where you can bring home the region's best bottles of wine, delicacies and local arts and crafts.
