Tour Itinerary First stop in the countryside and the hills is the walled town of Marostica with its castle. The town is famous for a 'living game of chess' that takes place once a year on a giant chessboard in the main square - an event that dates back to the 15th c. The rampart walk from the Castello has wonderful views. Moving on we visit the peaceful town of Bassano del Grappa, synonymous with the production of the Grappa ' or firewater of the mountains'. Crossing the celebrated Palladian bridge we visit the famous distillery with its shop situated right on the bridge and we enjoy a taste of this firewater! Moving on we visit Asolo 'the pearl of the Veneto', a tiny town situated among the cypress clad foothills of the Dolomites. Many poets have fallen in love with Asolo - including Robert Browning.
