Conegliano
North of Treviso, around the nice town of CONEGLIANO, the landscape is no longer boring. The surrounding hills are covered with vineyards, and the production of wine (especially Prosecco) is crucial for the region's economy. W 1876 r. the first vine grower school was founded in Conegliano, and today tourists can explore two wine routes here; The Strada del Vino Rosso goes on 68 km southeast of ODERZO, but the way west is more interesting, 42-kilometer long Strada del Vino Bianco leading to VALDOBBIADENE. Details on these routes can be obtained from the extremely helpful AAST office, right in front of the train station on viale Carducci 32. Getting to Conegliano is straightforward, as the train from Venice to Udine stops here regularly.
