This geographically attractive location makes Gorizia a wonderful starting point
for numerous history, country, sporting and gastronomie excursions. A short
distance from the city one can set off on the Collio "wine route", a hilly area
famous for its production of excellent quality wines (D.O.C.). The Collio region
is full of tourist attractions: the friendly, hospitable trattorias, where one
can appreciate the delicious food of different ethnic traditions, the
characteristic "private" - private houses that for a short period or time,
mostly in spring, open their doors to the public thus giving the visitors an
opportunity to taste their new home produced wine and enjoy their mature one,
and the many village festivals called "sagre", which spread their music across
this gentle landscape from Mat to September.
The village of San Floriano del Collio, which snuggles beneath the castle of the
same name, offers as well as beautiful views the possibility of visiting an
interesting Wine Museum. The castle itself was built in the 12th century and is
now the home of a notable wine producing firm, and gastronomie centre. Cormòns
is a small, delightful pre-Roman town. It is close to the park Bosco Plessiva,
with its inviting wine cellars and agro-tourism (farm holidays). It offers the
possibility of practising various sports and of going on long horse rides across
a beautiful landscape reminiscent of the charming hills of Tuscany. Following
the twisting road, one reaches, set among the chestnut forests, vineyards and
the orchards of the Collio, other villages such as Dolegna, Capriva, and
Gradiscutta. Here is a perfect opportunity for a well eamed rest in front of a
plate of delicious cold meats, in particular prosciutto crudo (San Daniele ham)
and salami, and a glass of good wine.
At Collio region, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, farm
holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent,
holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
