In the surroundings of the beautiful Padova, there are some of the most important wine producing areas in Italy, where you can visit Colli Euganei wineries.
The Colli Euganei (Euganean Hills) are in the heart of the Veneto plain with their unmistakable cones. Geometry of the cones is the result of volcanic phenomena dating back over 40 million years. The landscape charm is accompanied by the uniqueness of the natural environments and a surprising wealth of cultural heritage.
