Holiday apartment in Vazzola: culture, Raboso and Borgo Malanotte

Vazzola combines historic places, wine traditions and paths through surroundings shaped by countryside and villages. If you choose a holiday apartment in Vazzola, you can tailor your stay to what you want to experience along the way: cultural history, a tasting of Raboso del Piave or a manageable circular route with several different stops.

Church and history in Vazzola

The parish church of San Giovanni Battista in Vazzola was built in 1400 on the foundations of an older church. A well-preserved remnant of the flooring from this earlier church was rediscovered. The church has three naves and a coffered ceiling. It also houses works of art by Francesco Beccaruzzi, Francesco da Milano and Giovanni Antonio Fiumani. A visit to Vazzola can therefore combine sacred architectural history with works by several artists.

Borgo Malanotte in Tezze di Vazzola is also closely connected historically with the events of the First World War. Today, the borgo is the setting for various events and historical re-enactments. Along its main avenue, visitors can see a villa, farmhouses, courtyards, an osteria and a former horse-changing station. The combination of preserved buildings and their different former functions makes this place a vivid part of the region’s history.

Raboso del Piave and regional specialities

Vazzola and its districts gave rise to the specific designation Piave Malanotte DOCG. The wine is made mainly from Raboso Piave and, to a lesser extent, Raboso Veronese. Tenuta Bonotto delle Tezze offers the bookable tasting “Viaggio nel Raboso del Piave”, in which Raboso del Piave is presented in four different expressions. Bonotto’s “Scuola di Raboso” combines a guided explanation with a convivial tasting and lasts two hours. Your day plan can therefore include both a comparative wine tasting and a more in-depth wine experience with explanations.

Circular route between villages, vineyards and remembrance culture

The “A passeggio tra campagne e borghi di Vazzola” circular route is 3.3 kilometres long, takes about one hour and has an elevation difference of 6 metres. A southern variant of the circular route leads to a centuries-old Bellussera vineyard. The route also leads to the British War Cemetery in Tezze di Piave, where the remains of 355 British soldiers who fell in the First World War are buried. The circular route thus combines landscape, winegrowing, villages and a place of remembrance in one shared walking experience.

Other places in the surrounding region

Castello Papadopoli Giol, a castle, is located in the immediate vicinity of Vazzola. The surrounding area also includes the Archeologica Area Roman Forum, an archaeological site; the Pinacoteca “A. Martini”, a museum; and the Museo civico archeologico Eno Bellis, also a museum. Isola Santo Spirito, an island, is also located nearby. In the wider region around Vazzola are Coll'a To and Monte Trebuse, both mountains. Giardini comunali di Piazza San Martino, a garden, is also located in the surrounding area.

The combination of church, borgo, wine and circular route gives you various ways to choose the focus of your trip. Those who want to combine culture and remembrance history will find specific themes for this, just as travellers interested in winegrowing or a short walk through the countryside and villages will. When choosing a holiday apartment in Vazzola, this personal mix of discoveries may therefore be more important than a uniform excursion programme.
