Primavera Prosecco white wine Docg 2010

Visiting the Prosecco exhibitions on the hills of the North Venice

The Primavera Prosecco Docg is the most important wine-tasting circuit in the Veneto region. Until 20th June, there will be seventeen exhibitions to animate the splendid hills of the Trevisan Alta Marca.
In each one, you will have the chance to taste the famous Prosecco Docg from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, together with other wines from the region, such as Cartizze Docg, Torchiato di Fregona Doc (a rarity among Italian Passito dessert wines), Refrontolo Passito Doc, Verdiso and Colli di Conegliano Doc white and red. And to accompany the wine there will be some tasty genuine local cuisine with typical local dishes and plates from the region.
As in the past editions, to characterise the high quality of wines offered, there will be the Gran Premio Primavera Prosecco Docg, with a special tasting jury who will evaluate all the wines present in the individual exhibitions (from about 400 wine-producers), and elect the "Champions", who will be the flag bearers of the quality wine from the region for the year to follow.
Many various itineraries will be proposed for the occasion, aimed at discovering the Trevisan foothills. From the Molinetto della Croda at Refrontolo, to the Grotte del Caglieron at Fregona, from the Abbey of the Cistercense Monks at Follina, to that of Santa Bona at Vidor; and on to the San Salvatore Castle at Susegana, the Credazzo Towers at Farra di Soligo, the Isle of the Dead at Moriago della Battaglia, the Serravalle castle and that of Conegliano.
The Trevisan Alta Marca is a territory that in just a few tens of kilometres connects the Pre-Alps to the Venetian Lagoon. The tourist who chooses this area cannot fail to appreciate the beauty of the localities and their warm and sincere hospitality.

THE NAUTICAL EXPO – Venice 18-21 March 2010

The international nautical festival comes to Venice
A weekend in the splendid city of Venice to admire and perhaps even try and buy a wonderful vessel. This will take place between 18 and 21 March during the ninth edition of the International Nautical Expo. The event will take place in the historical venue of the Maritime Terminal, presenting the latest ideas and important partnerships.
This year, besides the most prestigious international brands for large yachts and small nautical vessels, the event also includes chartering for the coming summer season. The organisers aim to enhance the exhibition potential of Venice even more with activities revolving around the sea and the nautical world, and the new edition of the Nautical Expo aims to fly high thanks to the presence of the exhibition yards, the enhancement of quality second-hand boats, and the development of the chartering sector.
Specifically, during the ninth edition of the Nautical Expo an exclusive area will be reserved for chartering, with an invitation to discover routes, vessels and services for those who want to plan their summer season in advance.The Venice International Nautical Expo will also branch out in May during the "May Sea" event, held between 14 and 16 May at the Venetian Arsenal, a venue which is a symbol of seamanship and the art of seafaring. It is an area of great historical, artistic, industrial and cultural value, until now inaccessible for expos and exhibitions.
Useful information: the Expo is open between 10:00 and 19:00 hours. Entrance fee: €13. The Maritime Terminal, venue of the Nautical Expo, has extensive parking. From Piazzale Roma a shuttle departs from the Maritime Terminal every half an hour.
