The Veneto wine region of northeast Italy is best known for its sparkling Proseccos. But this region (whose capital is Venice) produces a variety of magnificent sparkling wines that differ in terms of both the grapes and the production techniques used to make them.

In Veneto, wine tourists can visit wineries steeped in history and culture while they soak in breathtaking landscapes, and sip sparkling wines at wine cellars, tasting rooms, and local restaurants. They’ll find winemakers eager to share stories about their land and its history, and explain their wines.
