A region to savour
A sensory journey where the history of great recipes meets the authenticity of local produce and the warm welcome of wineries, distilleries and farms
For lovers of good food, Vicenza’s culinary tradition provides the ideal setting to discover iconic PDO products such as Asiago cheese and Soprèssa, or historic recipes with a unique flavour such as the famous Bacalà. Those who prefer natural produce will find a rich variety of the earth’s bounty, such as cherries, asparagus and olives, from which a prized olive oil is produced, just waiting to be discovered. Visits to farms and wineries are the best way to sample these delicacies right where they are produced
This culinary spirit blends harmoniously with the tradition of the historic wineries and renowned local distilleries. Amidst the rolling hills and villages, taking part in guided tours and tastings allows you to fully explore the magnificent Vicenza region, seeing at first hand where the wines and spirits are produced. A unique way to experience the local production culture, combining the discovery of the landscape with authentic hospitality and traditional flavours
