The center of Valdobbiadene sits on an upland plain located on the slopes of Monte Barbaria and Mount Cesen. The area to the east and south-east is covered in vines being cultivated to make Prosecco, while to the south-west, the land slopes down to the banks of the River Piave. Together with Conegliano, Valdobbiadene is the epicenter of Prosecco production, and so it is appropriate that it is here, every September in the famous Villa dei Cedri, that the National Spumante Exhibition is held.

The 'Strada del Prosecco' or Prosecco production trail starts here and leads to Conegliano by way of all the pre-eminent production zones.

The Prosecco Production Trail
This trail starts from Conegliano Castle and crosses the entire expanse of hillside given over to the production of Prosecco and Cartizze white wines before reaching Valdobbiadene, on the slopes of Mount Cesen. The route across this hilly landscape exposes the visitor to an ocean of vines and farmhouses, passing through several villages that have retained their authentically rustic art and architecture.

Once summer has come to a close, the lush countryside explodes into a rainbow of autumnal shades during the harvest season, and during winter the area is bathed in the all-consuming fog that descends from the pre-Alps and the Dolomites.
