Just north of Venice lies the sun-drenched Veneto, a region of breathtaking beauty bordered by the Dolomite Mountains. Once home to Venetian nobles, the Veneto's fertile landscape is dotted with fortified towns and opulent villas surrounded by robust vineyards, cypress trees, and lush green pastures. Enjoy savory Italian cuisine and luxuriate in one of Mother Nature's most pleasurable playgrounds, the gentle foothills of the Dolomites.
