On the hills of Prosecco di Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
Breathtaking views, ancient rows, and the essence of a World Heritage site.
In 2019, the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene were inscribed on the World Heritage List during the 43rd UNESCO Assembly in Baku. A recognition that celebrates the extraordinary harmony between nature, human labor, and landscape.
The hills of Farra di Soligo, the beating heart of the UNESCO landscape of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, are a mosaic of heroic vineyards, woods, waterfalls, and terraces. Here, viticulture is done by hand, among rows and views, giving life to the excellence of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG.
Routes like Gor della Cuna and the Torri di Credazzo offer spectacular views and authentic experiences, among streams, forests, and vistas that stretch over Montello and beyond. On these heights, silent chapels, sacred buildings, or hermitages intertwine with nature and history, offering an enriching excursion from a landscape, cultural, and oenological perspective.
Where nature becomes art and wine tells the story of the landscape.
Among slopes shaped by human labor and rows that follow the rhythm of the seasons, the hills of Farra di Soligo offer a spectacle that unites harmony, taste, and tradition. Here, every view is a living painting, every sip of Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG a story to savor. A landscape to experience with all the senses.
These hills are not just vineyards: they are the living memory of those who have walked, cultivated, and defended them.
Walking among these heights means immersing oneself in a millennial culture made of effort, beauty, and respect for the land.
The three elements that have made this landscape unique
The UNESCO recognition is based on three distinctive features:
The hogbacks
A rare geomorphological formation, consisting of steep, elongated ridges running east-west, interspersed with parallel valleys. This natural profile, extending from Valdobbiadene to Vittorio Veneto, gives the area an unmistakable character.
The grass-covered terraces
An ancient and sustainable agricultural technique that uses earth and grass instead of stone to shape the terraces. The terraces stabilize the slopes, reduce erosion, and testify to the ingenuity with which humans have adapted to a challenging environment, keeping a centuries-old tradition alive.
A mosaic of vineyards and woods
The work of thousands of small winegrowers has created a “mosaic” landscape: vineyards interspersed with woods, meadows, and natural areas. A balance that not only enriches visual beauty but also ensures biodiversity and quality ecosystem services.
