Follow our experts and hosts to experience real-life example of alternative tourism, in Vittorio Veneto.
We’re excited to welcome you to Terra Fertile’s Study Visit at the Museo del Baco da Seta (Silkworm Museum), for a visit of the museum and a cooking class!
Then, we will end the day with a networking cocktail.
On 21 November, we offer the posibility of a second site visit about an Interreg Europe good practice. Meeting point will be at the venue.
This immersive experience will showcase two key aspects of local culture and tradition in the region: the art of storytelling in Sarmede and the craftsmanship behind Torchiato di Fregona wine. These visits will give you a deeper understanding of how local culture and agricultural heritage play a vital role in regional development.
