Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei

The Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei spans 18,000 hectares of volcanic hills rising 300 to 600 meters from the Padovan-Venetian plain.

Established in 1989, the park preserves the ancient territory of the Euganei people, who inhabited this region during the Roman period.

The poet Petrarch chose the hills for his final residence in 1369, building a house among the slopes covered with vines and olive trees.

Visitors can explore thirteen local wineries producing Cabernet, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Moscato varieties under the Colli Euganei denomination.

Monte Venda reaches 603 meters as the highest peak in this geological formation, created by submarine basaltic lava during the Eocene period.
