In Conegliano itself, don't miss the eye-catching
Scuola dei Battuti
, covered inside and
out with 16th-century frescoes by Ludovico Pozzoserrato. This building was once home to
a religious lay group known as
battuti
(beaters) for their enthusiastic self-flagellation.
Enter the
Duomo
through the
scuola
to discover early works by Veneto artists, notably a
1492-93 altarpiece by local master Cima da Conegliano.

Why not quit worrying about the chal-
lenges of
prosecco
tasting and driving and instead bed down at this farm-stay amid 14
hectares of vines in the heart of Valdob-biadene. The four charming rooms have been con-
verted from farm buildings, and have been renovated in a warm rustic style.

Prosecco
is typically drunk with
soppressa
, a fresh local
salami, as the sparkling
spumante
cleans the palate and refreshes the mouth. There's no
better way to test this than at Da Ottavio, where everything on the table,
soppressa
and
prosecco
included, is homemade by the Spada family.
