A walk-around wine tasting, mini-cultural courses and food shows. On 18th May, from 10am to 10 pm, Conegliano celebrates his world-famous gem: the Prosecco Superione.
Looking for a sparkling weekend? A day trip to the
Conegliano and Valdobbiadene region, just few kilometers from

Susegana surrounded by hills covered in hand-crafted vineyards, a fascinating landscape that is a
candidate to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

mini-cultural courses of tutored wine tasting (at. 1.30, 3 and 6pm) with teachers from the
Conegliano Valdobbiadene Academy, which can be booked on that day. And for the first time the event will host the contest for the best sommelier of the Veneto Region.
This year the event propose to visitors more opportunities to discover this famous region. Among these is the exhibition entitled “
Un Cinquecento Inquieto” at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano with works of art from XVI century of the area.
