Things To Do
in Susegana

Italy’s famous sparkling wine produced in the nearby hills; try different styles (Spumante, Frizzante, Brut) at local cantine and enoteche.

Must-Try!

Polenta served with slices of soppressa (a local cured pork salami) or other cured meats—comfort food commonly served in osterie.

A classic Venetian rice-and-pea dish (thicker than a risotto), especially popular in spring when peas are fresh.

Although debated, the Treviso area is a birthplace of tiramisù—expect a creamy, coffee-soaked dessert in many cafés.

Use 'Buongiorno' (good morning) and 'Buonasera' (good evening); brief, polite greetings are customary when entering shops or restaurants.

Dress modestly when visiting churches (shoulders and knees covered) and be respectful in religious settings.

Rural towns value calm—late-night noise and loud behavior are frowned upon; observe quiet hours and local customs such as riposo (afternoon rest) in some businesses.

Say 'per favore' and 'grazie'; being polite and taking time with greetings and farewells is appreciated.

Service is often included (look for 'servizio') on restaurant bills; rounding up or leaving 5–10% for exceptional service is appreciated but not mandatory. For bars, cafés and small purchases, a few coins or rounding up is common.

Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard) are widely accepted in restaurants, hotels and shops; smaller vendors and market stalls may prefer cash. Contactless payments are common in larger venues—carry euros for rural purchases.

Mild weather, blossoming vineyards and fewer tourists; ideal for cycling, photography and festivals tied to spring produce—pack a light jacket and expect occasional rain.

Warm to hot temperatures with long daylight hours; peak tourist season around vineyards and wine tastings—bring sun protection and book popular wineries in advance.

Harvest season (vendemmia) with vibrant foliage, wine festivals and grape harvest events—cooler evenings and excellent food/wine experiences; advance bookings recommended for agriturismi.

Chillier, quieter months with occasional fog and frost; lower tourist activity and off-season prices—some wineries and small restaurants may have reduced hours.

Local network of trails around Collalto hill with historical sites, viewpoints and moderate routes suitable for morning hikes and photography.

Walking routes linking vineyards and villages on the Prosecco hills—gentle to moderate terrain with many panoramic stops.

A short drive away, Montello offers woodland trails, historical sites and longer hikes with shaded paths—good for summer walks.

Scenic trails around Asolo with dramatic viewpoints over the plains and charming medieval villages—excellent for half-day excursions.

Long-established residents, often involved in agriculture, winemaking, small businesses and local services.

People who work in nearby cities (Conegliano, Treviso, Venice) and prefer suburban or rural living while commuting for work.

Like many rural Italian towns, Susegana has a relatively older demographic with close-knit community ties.

Small immigrant populations from Eastern Europe, North Africa and other regions working in agriculture, services and manufacturing.

Vegetarian options are increasingly available: ask for seasonal vegetable dishes, polenta, risotto and fresh salads; many restaurants accommodate modifications if you explain politely.

Vegan choices can be more limited in traditional osterie but possible in larger towns; request vegetable-based starters, salads, grilled vegetables and polenta without butter or cheese.

Many restaurants offer gluten-free pasta and polenta is naturally gluten-free; look for 'senza glutine' on menus and inform staff about celiac needs—larger venues in Conegliano/Treviso are better equipped.

Carry key allergy phrases in Italian and inform staff before ordering; pharmacies and supermarkets can help with special products.
