The Conegliano Valdobbiadene area, wine capital for two years
About Italian Wine City
The Prosecco Hills: Wine Capital
The Conegliano Valdobbiadene area, uniting fourteen municipalities in the province of Treviso with Conegliano as the lead town, has been designated Italian Wine City 2026-2027 by the National Association of Wine Cities. This biennial recognition brings the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG territory and the UNESCO Prosecco hills into the spotlight.
The Fourteen Wine Municipalities
In addition to Conegliano, the project includes Cison di Valmarino, Farra di Soligo, Follina, Fregona, Miane, Pieve di Soligo, Refrontolo, San Pietro di Feletto, San Vendemiano, Susegana, Valdobbiadene, Vittorio Veneto, and Vidor. This mosaic of villages and wineries will share a common calendar of initiatives dedicated to wine, culture, and slow tourism for two years.
A Program of 190 Events
The opening ceremony, spread across multiple municipalities between late February and early March, launches a program of approximately 190 events planned over the two years. These include conferences on the future of Prosecco, concerts, guided tours, exhibitions, and initiatives promoting viticulture, environmental sustainability, and territorial development. The Conegliano inauguration features a concert at the Duomo and a reception at the Convent of San Francesco.
