VALLEYS OF WINE AND LEGENDS

 

Sixteen towns in the Leogra valleys in western Alto Vicentino (Veneto) have put together an interesting programme of wine and taste tours around their territory. Launched with the brand name: “Le Valle del Vino e del Racconto” (Valleys of Wine and Legends) the initiative launches a series of itineraries of discovery and culture.

The most celebrated wines of the area can be sampled on the two wine routes recently launched: the “Strada del Recioto e dei Vini Gambellara DOC” and the “Strada del Vino Lessini Durello”, accompanied by some of the local gastronomic specialities, like the DOP cheeses Provolone Valpadana, Grana Padana and Asiago, or the cured meat Sopressa Vicentina DOP.

This scenically beautiful area is dotted with ancient churches, magnificent 16th century palaces of the local nobility, historic industrial buildings and medieval castles, including the so-called castles of Juliet and Romeo at Montecchio Maggiore, which bears the surname of Shakespeare's hero.
