Apply to live a unique experience in the Prosecco Hills

Wine tourism lovers, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for! Airbnb is looking for four people to enjoy an unforgettable experience in the charming Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Experience: Live a wine immersion like a Count

The lucky ones will have the opportunity to stay at Castelbrando, a fairytale castle with over 2,000 years of history, and discover all the secrets of Prosecco, visiting the iconic Villa Sandi, its estates, and cellars.

During their stay, aspiring sommeliers will be accompanied on a unique wine experience at Villa Sandi, immersing themselves in the sparkling wine culture that distinguishes this splendid region. They will experience firsthand the ongoing harvest and learn all the tricks of the trade from local Prosecco masters. At the end of their intense days, they will relax in the Count of Castelbrando's sumptuous chamber, known as the Count's Alcove.

Guests will be able to enjoy a series of unique experiences, including:

  • A private dinner prepared especially for them, to be enjoyed in the Count's private rooms.
  • Access to the Princess Spa at Castelbrando, a 2,000-square-meter wellness oasis created where ancient Roman baths once stood.
  • An exciting horseback ride or bike ride to discover the splendid landscapes of the Hills.
  • Participate in the grape harvest at one of Villa Sandi's estates.
  • Learn all about Prosecco production by attending a Masterclass at Villa Sandi, a Palladian masterpiece dating back to 1622, followed by a Prosecco tasting.

The Airbnb Project: How to Apply

The initiative is part of Airbnb's commitment to promoting tourism in rural areas and enhancing cultural heritage. This experience represents a unique opportunity to experience the Prosecco harvest like a true Count, in the spirit of luxury and tradition, immersed in the timeless beauty of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills.

You can submit your application via this link. The stays, free of charge and available for a total of four guests (the two selected guests, plus one companion each), will take place on September 6-9 and September 10-13, 2024. Transportation to Castelbrando will be provided by Airbnb. Applications can be submitted between July 15 and July 28, 2024, and will be evaluated by Airbnb to identify the most deserving.
