Food & Wine of Veneto, entertainment near farm holidays
Food & Wine of Veneto region
The Veneto region is a famous wine-producing region, with well-known wines including prosecco, pinot grigio, soave, cabernet and valpolicella. Others, equally good, have hardly been heard of outside their local area. We can direct you to local family-run vineyards and producers of salumi, cheese and pane biscotto, enabling you to take home some of the culinary delights of the Delta.
Family Entertainment at farm holidays La Prese
Children are very welcome at La Presa. Whether wandering through our nature trail, feeding our horses, cycling around the farmstead, splashing about in the pool, seeking out the cats, picking fruit or vegetables, playing on our wooden horses or wandering through the cowsheds, there is always plenty to keep them actively entertained. For rainy days, we have a children’s corner in the breakfast room with plenty of drawing materials and a selection of toys and games. We delight in taking children for a tour of the farm, telling them about the cattle and farming wheat, maize and soya.
Other visits that children particularly enjoy include the nearby apiculture (bee-keeping) centre and the ocarina (clay whistle) museum.
