Stretching from the foothills of the
Dolomites to the canals of Venice,
the Veneto region was once the
retreat of wealthy Venetian nobles
who commissioned such masters as
Paolo Veronese and Andrea Palladio
to design and embellish their
country estates. Riding along
tranquil stradine (small
roads) and over the pre-Alps, you’ll
pass fields of corn, terraced
vineyards and Renaissance
towns. Come evening, you’ll live
like Venetian nobility in luxurious
lodgings and feast on regional
specialties such as fresh seafood,
creamy polenta and crisp pinot
grigio.
