Villa dei Vescovi Tours and Tickets

Wine tasting in a local cellar of the Euganean hills of volcanic origin, in the southern part of Padua, in the inland of Venice. The experience includes the private transfer by minivan from Montegrotto Terme to the cellar in the hills and the tasting of 3 wines (white, red and spumante). The wine producer will explain you the history of his winery on the panoramic terrace and will accompany you to visit his cellar.

We will start first at a time from the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, an immense symbolic garden of the seventeenth century, called a few years ago the Most Beautiful Park in Italy, completely surrounded by the verdant landscape and the soft curves of the Euganean Hills. Here water features, tree-lined avenues, fountains, the intricate labyrinth and the statues come together harmoniously in an allegorical path of "Salvification" along which the visitor, traveling through various stages, from the Portal of Diana to the Statue of Winged Time up to the fountain of the Dolphins, is guided in the symbolic liberation from sins. Later we will move to visit Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia: a precious gem set in the Euganean Hills, an ancient holiday residence of the Paduan high prelates that dates back to the first half of the sixteenth century.
