Opening Hours
Castello di Roncade is generally open for visits and wine-related experiences from Monday to Friday during business hours and on Saturday mornings. Weekend and evening visits are typically available only for special events, private functions, or pre-booked tours. Visiting hours may vary according to season and the estate’s event calendar, so check the official website or contact the castle directly for the most current information.
Castello di Roncade, also known as Villa Giustinian Ciani Bassetti, is a rare example of a Renaissance villa set within robust medieval-style fortifications. Located in the heart of Roncade, between Treviso and Venice, the site is easily identifiable by its complete circuit of brick walls, moat, and picturesque towers. Inside, visitors discover an elegant 15th–16th-century villa with airy loggias, refined frescoes, decorated wooden ceilings, and a succession of barchesse (arcaded farm buildings) that echo its historical agricultural role.
Still privately owned by the Ciani Bassetti family, the castle operates as both a historic monument and a working wine estate. Guided tours introduce guests to the main villa’s noble interiors, explain the evolution of the property, and highlight the transition from feudal stronghold to Renaissance residence. The private chapel, sprawling courtyards, and outbuildings convey the estate’s long story of grape growing and wine production.
A tour almost always includes a visit to the wine cellars, where estate wines are aged and tasted. Strolls through the inner gardens and along sections of the curtain walls give insight into the balance between defense and refined living that defines the site. Because the property remains a functional home and business, access is usually by scheduled guided tour, some of which are themed around wine, history, or local traditions.
Tickets are sold only on-site at the start of each visit or as part of wine experiences arranged directly with the castle. While some tour operators may offer packaged visits, all details regarding available experiences, booking procedures, prices, and special events are best sourced from the official website. Combining Castello di Roncade with visits to nearby Treviso, the Sile River parks, or villas along the Terraglio and Brenta routes offers a rewarding exploration of the Veneto’s varied heritage.
