Fungaia – Route through the Prosecco Hills

Fungaia is assigned to the third section of the “Vittorio Veneto–Treviso through the Prosecco Hills” route. The 56 km section leads through Susegana and past Castello di San Salvatore. This opens up an area for planning your trip in which a walking route, the landscape between the hills and the plain, and the history of an important castle complex come together.

Walking routes with two possible starting points

The “Sul «cammino» dei castelli” walking route is 7.2 km long within the municipality of Susegana. You can begin it at the Piazzetta ex Scuole in Collalto or at the Chiesa dell’Annunziata in Susegana. These two starting points provide the tour with a clear spatial orientation and make the route an independent shorter hiking option within the municipality of Susegana.

The Piave provides another point of orientation: within the municipality of Susegana, the river marks the boundary between the hills and the plain. This change in landscape shapes the spatial character of the area and complements the routes that focus on the vineyards and the surroundings of Castello di San Salvatore.

Castello di San Salvatore: Fortress, Residence and Cultural Venue

Castello di San Salvatore was built for the Collalto family in the second half of the 13th century and served as a defensive fortress throughout the Middle Ages. Later, the complex became a luxurious aristocratic residence and an artistic centre for the region and at European level. Following its restoration, the Castello serves as an elegant venue for events.

Guided tours and tastings are offered in the surroundings of Castello di San Salvatore. They explain the company’s production method and sustainable approach. At Cantine Conte Collalto, the tours also include the historic winery dating from the early 20th century and the vineyards. These offerings focus on different aspects: You can place the castle complex in its historical and cultural context or learn about the connection between winegrowing, winemaking and the landscape.

Vineyards and Rural Heritage

The guided “Hiking among the castle vines” tour leads through vineyards, a winery and a barrel cellar at the foot of Castello di San Salvatore. Another format explores the vineyards at the foot of the castle in a vintage off-road vehicle. Both experiences focus on the same landscape, but differ in how you get to know it: One tour combines walking with stops at facilities involved in wine production, while the other offers an off-road wine experience.

Casa Vigneti is an old farmhouse and an authentic testament to rural life in the region at the beginning of the 20th century. Together with the historic winery, this place broadens the perspective beyond the castle to the agricultural and winemaking past of the municipality of Susegana.
