On the wine roads: the wineries of Custoza and the hidden treasures around the Museum Nicolis

Custoza, is a little corner of paradise near to the Museum Nicolis, in the heart of the Veneto region. It’s famous for its light and aromatic white wine, but its hills also hide a rich cultural and natural heritage. Exploring these lands means immersing yourself in a centuries-old winemaking tradition, discovering hidden treasures in the surrounding area.

The Custoza wine road is full of renowned wineries to stop at: the Gorgo, an organic farm that produces quality wines where you can admire the breathtaking landscape of the Veronese hills. The Cavalchina or the Menegotti winery for those who want to visit a family-run business. Here you will discover how love for the land is reflected in wines that enhance the unique characteristics of Custoza, accompanied by a warm welcome and tales of a tradition that has been handed down for generations. Finally there’s the Albino Piona winery, awarded by the Great Wine Capitals network in the “Art and Culture” category.

We recommend a stop at Custoza’s Belvedere Hill, an enchanting vantage point located near the Obelisk commemorating the Battle of Custoza, which affords an enchanting view of the surrounding area. For a lunch break you will be spoiled for choice at one of the area’s typical inns.

The journey on the wine roads will be completed with a visit to the Museum Nicolis in Villafranca di Verona, an extraordinary collection of automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and vintage objects, which will end the day with a fascinating journey through the history of the 20th century.

Good wine, delicious food, authentic culture and beauty. A perfect destination for a holiday or a weekend of discovery and pleasure.
