Strada del Vino Colli Euganei

 In the heart of Veneto, a few kilometres from Padua, lies the Euganean Hills Regional Park: a unique hilly landscape, shaped by ancient volcanic origins and now a treasure trove of biodiversity, culture and traditions.
It is in this setting that the Euganean Hills Wine Route comes to life, a route that combines food and wine excellence, historical treasures and natural beauty.

Excellence with Designation of Origin: Wine, Oil and Ham

The Wine Route accompanies visitors on a journey of discovery of typical products of the highest quality. The hills are home to vineyards that produce prestigious DOC and DOCG wines, including Fior d'Arancio, Colli Euganei Rosso and Serprino, intense and characteristic wines that perfectly reflect this territory.

Alongside wine, the area also produces a prized DOP extra virgin olive oil, with a delicate aroma and fruity taste, and the renowned Prosciutto Veneto DOP, the result of artisanal processing that gives it softness and authentic flavour.

Villas, monasteries and castles to discover

The Euganean Hills are also home to a rich historical heritage: Venetian patrician villas, thousand-year-old monasteries, medieval castles and ancient residences, which can now be visited and often house museums, exhibitions and cultural initiatives.

Villa Vescovi, managed by FAI, is home to the only wine shop in Veneto housed in a historic building: the Enoteca della Strada del Vino Colli Euganei, where you can taste wines from member wineries in an extraordinary setting.

Hospitality amid nature and flavour

For those who wish to prolong the experience, the Wine Route offers accommodation surrounded by greenery: farmhouses, B&Bs, and relais with wellness centres, where you can relax amid the sounds and scents of nature.

In participating restaurants, trattorias and farmhouses, you can rediscover the taste of authentic Paduan cuisine, with seasonal dishes, local products and pairings designed to complement local wines.

Nature to be experienced: excursions and UNESCO landscapes
The Euganean Hills are recognised as a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve, an award that recognises the environmental, cultural and sustainable value of the area. All the more reason to explore them on foot or by bicycle, accompanied by expert local naturalists.

From group excursions to tailor-made experiences, from the Adventure Park to day trips by bicycle along the famous Euganean Hills Cycle Ring, every outing becomes a true journey into beauty.
Being accompanied by local guides makes every visit more profound, immersive and unforgettable.

But contact with nature also blends with the experience of taste. Among the rows of vines and breathtaking views, you can enjoy moments of authentic conviviality: dinners in the vineyard, an unmissable event of the Euganean summer, take place every weekend in a different winery. A special opportunity to meet the winemakers in person, discover their stories and spend an evening that will remain in your heart.

One of the most eagerly awaited events is Calici Euganei, which takes place in Arquà Petrarca on the nights of San Lorenzo: three evenings dedicated to the authentic flavours of the Euganean Hills, along the streets of one of Italy's most beautiful villages. A magical moment, where wine, stars and culture come together in a unique atmosphere.

A land of wellbeing
At the foot of the Euganean Hills lies the thermal basin of Abano and Montegrotto, the largest in Europe. The thermal waters, which flow naturally at over 80°C, are rich in minerals and microorganisms that are beneficial to health.

They are the source of the famous DOC thermal mud, which matures on the slopes of the hills: treatments that are unique in the world, with certified benefits for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and psycho-physical relaxation.
A stay in this area thus becomes a complete experience of health, relaxation and nature.
