Discover Fungaia

Fungaia is associated with the third section of the “Vittorio Veneto–Treviso through the Prosecco Hills” route. This section is 56 km long, passes through Susegana and goes by Castello di San Salvatore. This longer route section is therefore one of the specific points of reference for Fungaia.

Route connections and a walking trail in the municipality

A local walking trail in the municipality of Susegana is called “Sul «cammino» dei castelli” and is 7.2 km long. It starts either at Piazzetta ex Scuole in Collalto or at Chiesa dell’Annunziata in Susegana. These two named starting points give you a specific point of reference if you would like to include this walking trail in your plans. Fungaia is also associated with the 56 km section of the route through the Prosecco Hills. The distances show the difference in scale: one is a walking trail of a set length, while the other is a long route section. This lets you distinguish between a specific walking trail and the broader route theme.

Castello di San Salvatore: history and use

In the municipality of Susegana, Castello di San Salvatore was built for the Collalto family in the second half of the 13th century. Throughout the Middle Ages, it served as a defensive fortress. Later, the castle became a luxurious aristocratic residence and an artistic centre for the region and Europe. Its history thus encompasses several functions: its medieval role as a defensive stronghold was followed by its use as an aristocratic residence and its artistic significance. After restoration, the Castello serves as an elegant venue for events.

Vineyards, cellars and rural history

In the municipality of Susegana, a range of experiences take you to vineyards and wineries. The guided tour “Hiking among the castle vines” passes through vineyards, a winery and a barrel cellar at the foot of Castello di San Salvatore. An off-road wine experience explores the vineyards at the foot of the castle in a vintage off-road vehicle. Both take you into the vineyards here; they differ in that the guided tour includes a visit to the winery and barrel cellar, while the off-road experience includes a vehicle ride.

Guided tours and tastings are also offered around the Castello. They explain the company’s production method and sustainable approach. At Cantine Conte Collalto, tours include the historic winery dating from the early 20th century and the vineyards. Casa Vigneti offers a different historical perspective: the old farmhouse is an authentic record of rural life in the region at the beginning of the 20th century. The history of the castle, winegrowing and rural history together offer different themes to guide your travel plans.
