A true jewel for incentives and meetings
Veneto stretches over a wide range of places you have to see at least once in a lifetime. It has the most romantic city in the world, Venice, the mountain scenery of the Dolomites in the north, Romeo and Juliet�s home in Verona, the small towns along the shores of Lake Garda, the cities rich in art such as Padovo, Vicenza and many others. It is almost impossible to find a reason why not to visit Veneto.
Veneto is among the foremost wine-producing regions, both for quality and quantity. As a seafood haven, Venice exalts risotto nero (blackened with cuttlefish ink), scampi (prawns) and spider crabs called granseole, or moleche when males shed their shells in spring and fall. But Venetians also dine on the earthly likes of risi e bisi (rice and peas), fegato alla veneziana (calf's liver and onions) and Carpaccio. That raw beef dish originated in Venice, as did the rampantly fashionable dessert called tiramis�. The Adriatic abounds in fish. The plains of the Po, Adige and Piave rivers supply livestock, rice for risotto and corn for polenta. The hills that flank the Alps from Lake Garda to Cortina d'Ampezzo provide game, mushrooms, wine and a bit of olive oil, along with the climate for aging prosciutto, salame and cheeses.
Too numerous to mention all of the wines as Venice's region has emerged in recent times as Italy's largest producer of wine with a major share classified as DOC or DOCG. Some of the more well known include Soave, Valpolicella, Bardolino, Amarone and the famous prosecco, taken as an aperitif.
This region is reached very easily with airports in Venice, Verona and Treviso with flights from European and Intercontinental destinations.
