Thanks to Primavera del Prosecco Superiore it is possible to enjoy the beauty of the Alta Marca territory, to take part in photography contests, to discover the hills of Alta Marca with its tiny villages, ancient 'pievi', old castles, to walk through green vineyards' slopes between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano finding out wineries where Prosecco is produced, to taste Marca's excellent wines and delicious food.

2013: eighteenth edition of the Primavera del Prosecco, a well-known and interesting touristic event dedicated to the Prosecco wine. Year by year, the event has developed offering more and more opportunities for visitors.
The event dedicated to the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG will join 15 wine exhibitions in one great tour along flavours and traditions. Moreover, many associations and local authorities have contributed to make the event full of surprises.

Those who love wine and food, especially, can find many restaurants, taverns and inns that are available for tasting traditional dishes. In addition, from this year, each of the 15 wine exhibitions, which form part of the event, propose dishes of local cuisine.

Those who love outdoor activities can find plenty of proposals: from a horse ride along the suited 100 km route in the Prealps, to the cycling routes proposed by the 'slow bike', to trekking and Nordic walking opportunities for everyone.
Even real cycling competitions will take place.
New of this year, 'Le Nostre Vie': short and accessible walks organised by the Exhibitors to discover pictoresque places in the surroundings.
To those who prefer to deepen in the history, art and culture of these places, the Primavera del Prosecco Superiore event offers several opportunities, such as a visit of the ancient Cistercian Abbey of Follina, of the 'pieve' of San Pietro di Feletto, of the Windmill Della Croda that is still working, of the Archaeological and Educational Park Livelet and, thanks to a special collaboration, a visit of the fascinating Gypsoteca with plaster works by Antonio Canova in Possagno. These are only some examples of sightseeings that form the rich heritage of the Alta Marca territory.
