San Giorgio Di Perlena: Route, Vineyards and Churches
Accommodation in San Giorgio Di Perlena
San Giorgio di Perlena on a Clearly Defined Route
The “San Giorgio tra vigne, ulivi e iris” route begins at the car park near the Monumento ai caduti di San Giorgio Martire on Via Perlena. The route is 7.35 km long, has 440 m of positive elevation gain and takes approximately two hours. For planning your day, you can allow for this approximate duration while also taking the elevation gain into account. An arrival time accurate to the minute cannot be inferred from the approximate duration. Breaks are additional to the approximately two-hour duration, and the 440 metres of elevation gain remain a separate planning factor alongside the route length.
Views of the Valley and Vineyard-Covered Hills
The route’s views include the Chiavone Nero valley and the hills predominantly covered with vineyards on the Breganze side and on the San Giorgio side. The route looks towards Breganze and San Giorgio. The view of the Chiavone Nero valley is distinct from the vineyard-covered hills.
Churches in Fara Vicentino
The Chiesa Arcipretale di San Giorgio, Martire, is located at Via Perlena 81 in Fara Vicentino. The Oratorio Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore di Gesù is located on Via Laverda in Fara Vicentino. Both religious buildings are therefore in Fara Vicentino, although their specific addresses are on different streets. The two different street details—Via Perlena 81 and Via Laverda—make orientation easier.
Historical Traces of San Giorgio
The Chiesa di San Giorgio was first mentioned in 1297. The new church was already in use by 1805.
Winegrowing between San Giorgio di Perlena and Breganze
BOSCODIVINO has vineyards in San Giorgio di Perlena and Breganze with a total area of 3.5 hectares. The grape varieties grown are Vespaiola, Chardonnay, Pinot Nero, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The stated area refers to winegrowing in both places combined, not to a single location.
The BOSCODIVINO Experience
The BOSCODIVINO experience includes a walk through the vineyards, a visit to the ageing cellar for Metodo Classico and a tasting of all BOSCODIVINO wines in the panoramic room. The tasting takes place in the panoramic room, while the ageing cellar is dedicated to Metodo Classico.
