culture, Trieste is the most cosmopolitan city in Italy. You can easily

A vibrant city with a unique charm, it is rich in history, astonishing
attractions and architecture, and the starting point of numerous exciting outings.
Lovers of the outdoors will enjoy the many cycle paths, climbing crags and water sports, mainly sailing, with regattas, historical trophies and social sailings creating a rich yearly calendar from March through to October.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n

        AMONG HILLS AND VINEYARDS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Come and discover this area with a wine tasting in the Collio region, where
        some of the best wines in the world are produced, in a landscape rich in lush, green hills and small historic hamlets. We also recommend a visit to Cividale del Friuli<\/strong>, an ancient town that was capital of the Lombards.
        Vodopivec<\/strong>, in the heart of the Carso. The wine estate conveys the spirit of its land with a single native grape variety, Vitovska, produced with great passion, dedication and pride by employing the terracotta clay pot technique, used for thousands of years.
        Kante<\/strong> is a farm where the art of experimentation and innovation comes across with the production of fresh, elegant products that see their purity and authenticity as stemming directly from nature.
        The Keber <\/strong>farm on the Zegla hill that gently descends to the border with Slovenia, is famous for its soil that particularly suits Tocai grapes:
        this is where the award-winning \u201cTocai Friulano\u201d wine by Renato Keber is produced.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

        The Marasca honey<\/strong>, awarded the Slow Food label, is produced with the nectar of mahaleb cherry and stems from the Middle East:
        the Carso microclimate suits this tree well and its limited propagation means the restricted production is a rare delicacy.
        Jamar<\/strong> \u2013 a cheese produced in a karst cave \u2013 is a symbol of creativity and dedication of the Zidarich farm. The complexity of this cheese is the product of its aging, mostly taking place in a 70-metre-deep cave.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
