Hills of the Collio – Friuli-Venezia Giulia: among rolling vineyards, stone villages and views that smell of wine and tradition. The Collio Hills, close to the border with Slovenia, are a mosaic of vineyards, woods and small villages that wind through Cormòns, Dolegna del Collio, San Floriano and Oslavia. A territory that enchants for its harmony and deep agricultural vocation, where wine is culture and landscape. 🍇 A territory dedicated to wine: Some of the most renowned white wines in Italy are born here: Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Malvasia, but also reds of great elegance such as Merlot and Cabernet. The wineries, often family-run, open their doors to visitors with panoramic tastings and cellars carved into the rock. 👉 Tip: Visit a winery at sunset and taste local wines accompanied by local cheeses and hams. 🚶 ♀️ Between paths, villages and panoramas: The roads of the Collio wind gently through hills covered with vineyards, renovated farmhouses and isolated chapels. The routes are perfect for hiking or cycling, immersed in a silence punctuated only by the wind and birdsong. 👉 Tip: Follow the Camino Celeste in one of its stages between Cormòns and Castelmonte: a spiritual and scenic itinerary through hills and vineyards. 🏘️ Friulian culture, history and identity: The Collio is also a borderland, where Friulian culture blends with Slovenian culture. Castles, museums, Romanesque churches and war ruins tell centuries of history lived between wars, exchanges and rebirths. 👉 Tip: Visit Cormòns and climb Mount Quarin for a 360° view of the entire region, all the way to the Adriatic Sea. 🍽️ Authentic taste between tables and taverns: The cuisine of the Collio is rich in influences and flavors: smoked cured meats, game, gubana, jota and gnocchi with ricotta and wild herbs. The dishes are always accompanied by a good glass of wine, in a genuine and convivial atmosphere. 👉 Tip: Don't miss the brovada with muset and frico, two symbols of the most authentic Friulian cuisine. The Collio Hills are a landscape to be savored slowly, where every curve offers a panorama and every glass tells a story.
