In the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, nestled between the lagoon and the Adriatic Sea, Lignano Sabbiadoro is not just synonymous with sea and relaxation. It’s a privileged starting point to enjoy authentic emotions, refined experiences and discoveries that gratify both the senses and the soul.
By staying at the Riviera Resort Hotel, an exclusive seafront hotel surrounded by the tranquility of the pine forest, every day becomes an invitation to discover: the area's food and wine excellence, unspoiled nature, and artistic gems scattered throughout our region.
Just over an hour from our resort lie the gentle hills of Collio and the Eastern Hills of Friuli, lands famous for the elegance of their wines and the mastery of their wineries.
In these sun-kissed lands, protected by the Julian Alps, you can enjoy an exclusive tasting experience at internationally renowned wineries such as:
• Livio Felluga, an icon of Friulian wine, one of the first to enhance hill viticulture;
• Jermann, renowned for its intense and long-lasting whites, including the famous Vintage Tunina;
• Venica & Venica, a real jewel nestled in the village of Dolegna del Collio;
• La Viarte and Ronchi di Cialla, for those who wish to discover native grape varieties like Pignolo and Schioppettino.
Alongside the wine glasses, traditional Friulian dishes reinterpreted with taste and lightness: frico, San Daniele ham, alpine cheeses and homemade bread.
A top-notch food and wine itinerary for lovers of beauty and good taste.
Just a few kilometers separate the Riviera Resort Hotel from the Marano Lagoon, a place suspended between water and sky, where nature and culture have conversed for centuries.
Onboard small boats, you can enjoy an authentic excursion among:
• The ancient casoni, traditional reed and wood fisherman’s huts;
• The fishing valleys, perfect examples of sustainable lagoon economy;
• The wild islets and nature reserves, where herons, cormorants and black-winged stilts nest;
• Echoes of Venetian rule, still alive in local place names and dialect.
During the excursion, you can sip a glass of fresh wine with seafood cicchetti and be lulled by the slow rhythm of the water as the sun sets over the lagoon.
A poetic landscape that has inspired painters, writers and travelers of every era.
Just over an hour from Lignano, Venice awaits you with its timeless charm. You can plan an elegant excursion among alleys, squares and historic palaces, visit the Accademia Galleries, the Doge’s Palace, or simply lose yourself in the enchantment of a stroll along the Grand Canal.
A must-stop? An aperitif in St. Mark’s Square with a view of the Basilica and the melodies from Caffè Florian.
Venice is never just a place, but a feeling.
After such emotion-filled days, there is nothing more rewarding than returning to the comfort of the Riviera Resort Hotel.
