Villa Sandi
Located at via Tessere, 1, 31049 Valdobbiadene (TV), the monumental Venetian villa is immediately recognizable for its balanced line of classical taste that distinguishes its structure, typical of the Palladian style.
The uncontaminated natural element appears in symbiosis with the functionality of the white palace, currently home to one of the most renowned wineries in the province: from the lush garden adorned with elegant statues to the orderly extension of the rows of the fine vineyard called La Rivetta.
The sumptuous façade bears several sculptural ornaments on the roof, at the vertices of the tympanum, while the majestic pronaos, supported by four Ionic columns, allows access to the noble main body of the stately residence, flanked by two elegant porticoed barchesse.
The charm of the ancient villa also lies in the suggestive underground path that leads to the centuries-old cellars, where wines, sparkling wines and grappas of exceptional quality are produced.

Duomo of Santa Maria Assunta
Located in Piazza Marconi, 31049, Valdobbiadene (TV), the grandiose and austere sanctuary constitutes the most representative sacred monument of the religious, architectural and artistic heritage of the historic center of Valdobbiadene.
Built following the canons of the neoclassical style, the ancient place of worship that can be admired today presents a splendid façade punctuated by four massive columns that support the white triangular tympanum.
The bright interior with a wide single nave houses an invaluable artistic treasure that includes valuable pictorial works such as the altarpiece depicting the Virgin and Saints Sebastian and Rocco, an altarpiece with St. Anthony Abbot and St. John the Baptist, the ciborium of the Altar of the Madonna, to name just a few of the stunning works that give meaning to the imposing and centuries-old structure.
Bigolino di Valdobbiadene
The suggestive pristine oasis of ancient geological formation extends in the floodplain area (flat territory that extends corresponding to the low-water bed of the river) of the Quartier del Piave in the Settolo Basso area in the municipality of Valdobbiadene, characterized by a lush heritage of trees, shrubs and flowers that grow luxuriantly thanks to the fertility of the soil nourished by the clear and fresh waters of numerous springs and suggestive marsh formations, on whose banks characteristic groves of bamboo canes sprout and thrive.
About one km north of Bigolino, there is a parking lot near the Parco del Piave. After reaching the shrine located at the end of the road, continue north and then follow the downhill path that leads to the information panel at the start of the route.
The ancient path plunges into the heart of the lush and radiant woodland, among mysterious inlets in the rock walls and clear, lively streams crossed by picturesque little bridges. Continuing to the left, you reach a splendid belvedere that offers visitors landscape scenarios of spectacular charm in the Piave riverbed.
