Conegliano

Conegliano is a commune in the Province of Treviso in Veneto, lying between hills and plains south of the Alps. A medieval fortress stands on the hill above town, while streets in the center are lined with colored house facades and squares with fountains.

The settlement began in Roman times and grew in the Middle Ages as a fortified place under different rulers. The castle was built in the tenth century and served as episcopal property until the 19th century.

The town sits in the Prosecco wine region and takes its name from a Roman settlement. Local wineries open their doors for tastings, while the old center with its arcades invites leisurely walks.

The town is easy to explore on foot, though the climb to the castle on the hill can be somewhat demanding. Many wine tastings and visits require advance booking with local wineries.

A Renaissance painter from this town gave his name to the local school and created works that can be seen today in churches across the region. The wine school founded in 1876 was the first of its kind on the continent and still trains winemakers today.
