Discover the Wines of Veneto
An independent guide to Prosecco, Amarone, Soave, Valpolicella, and the wine routes of Northeast Italy.
From the Prosecco hills to Verona's great red wines, Veneto is one of Italy's most rewarding wine regions.
Start here
Veneto is more than Prosecco.
Veneto is one of Italy's most varied wine regions. It stretches from the Adriatic and Venice inland toward Verona, Lake Garda, the volcanic hills around Soave, and the steep slopes of Conegliano Valdobbiadene.
Prosecco may be the name most visitors know first, but the region also gives the world Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella Ripasso, Soave Classico, Bardolino, Lugana, and many smaller local styles worth understanding.
Wines Veneto is built as a practical English-language guide for travelers, wine lovers, and future buyers who want clarity before they book a tasting, choose a bottle, or plan a route.

The Three Icons of Veneto
Amarone della Valpolicella
Dry, powerful, and age-worthy, Amarone is made through the traditional appassimento method and remains one of Italy's most distinctive red wines.

Soave Classico
Made mainly from Garganega, the best Soave Classico is mineral, food-friendly, and far more serious than many people expect.

Explore Veneto's Wine Regions
Veneto's wine map stretches from Lake Garda and Verona across the Soave hills, Vicenza, Padua, Treviso, the Prosecco hills, and the eastern plains toward Venice and the Adriatic.
Valpolicella, Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Soave, Bardolino, Lugana, and Colli Euganei are the best starting points, but they are not the whole story. Custoza, Lessini Durello, Gambellara, Breganze, Piave, Lison, and other local areas help explain why Veneto produces so many different styles from one region.
Use the map as a practical shortcut: red-wine country around Verona, sparkling hillside wines near Treviso, mineral whites around Soave and Lake Garda, and quieter routes near Padua and Vicenza.
