Valdobbiadene and the surroundings: a one-day itinerary through the beauty of the Prosecco land
A walking tour that reaches the most hidden corners tucked away between earth and sky, with spectacular views dotted with small and large art treasures. The ideal trekking or cycling experience.
Itinerary of the Little Churches and Chapels
A pleasant alternative if you’re in the area is the “Itinerary of the Little Churches and Chapels,” a path through breathtaking landscapes, between nature and history. For example, the small church of Sant’Alberto, which for over five centuries has dominated and protected the vineyards of Valdobbiadene. It is an annual destination for the locals during the feast of the Saint, to ward off drought with the blessing of water.Or the little church of San Gregorio, dedicated to the great reformer of the Church and patron saint of Valdobbiadene; an ancient Capuchin convent of composed beauty and the only 17th-century structure left in the area, often used for major celebrations due to its unique acoustics.
Sundials and the Peasant Tradition
Interesting elements to observe are the ancient sundials decorating the walls of private houses and churches. There are more than 30 registered in Valdobbiadene. These ancient time-measuring instruments are strongly tied to the local peasant tradition, marking not only the hours of the day but also the seasons of the year, marking the various phases of work in the fields. True works of art, mathematics, and astronomy, they are often enriched with symbolic figures and mottos that recall ancient wisdom. The most famous of the sundials in Valdobbiadene is the one made in 1862 by Abbot Giovanni Follador on the south façade of the bell tower of the cathedral. The large dial carries the motto “Time and life do not stop” and is framed by depictions of the zodiac signs.

About Col Vetoraz Spumanti S.p.A
Col Vetoraz is located in the heart of the Valdobbiadene DOCG area, at almost 400 mt above sea level, at the highest point among the famous Cartizze hills. It is right here that the Miotto family settled in 1838, developing the vine cultivation from the beginning. In 1993 Francesco Miotto, descendant of this family, together with the agronomist Paolo De Bortoli and the oenologist Loris Dall’Acqua founded the current Col Vetoraz, a winery that was able to innovate and grow, reaching in just 25 years the top of Valdobbiadene DOCG production both in quantitative and qualitative terms, with over 2,300,000 kg of DOCG grapes vinified per year from which is selected the production of 1,250,000 bottles. Today, having reached the age of 30, the challenge is to be able to maintain this important position achieved over time. A great respect for tradition, deep love for the territory, extreme care of the vineyards and a scrupulous methodology of the production chain as well as the production of large cuvées, have allowed Col Vetoraz to obtain over the years excellent wines and flattering results at the most prestigious national and international wine competitions.
