The former medieval March of Treviso is placed between Venice and the foothills of the Alps in the northern Veneto. Its lightness of air and forested, vine-covered lands always attracted Venice’s nobility escaping the summer heat and seeking prosperity and prestige. Palladian villas, castles and vineyards festoon some of Italy’s loveliest towns such as charming Asolo and Bassano del Grappa. Based in delightful Conegliano, our gently paced week in an undiscovered part of Northern Italy marries art and architecture and the excellent food and the renowned sparkling wines of the Valdobbiadene in ‘equal measure’.
