The Barchessa of Villa Pola, also known as “il Barcon,” is a splendid complex designed by Giorgio Massari. It stands in a five-hectare countryside, enclosed by walls, partially crossed by a road that surrounds its perimeter and along which the current entrance is located: a gate flanked by two large windows with characteristic wrought iron bars.
By walking along a short avenue, one accesses the porch, characterized by majestic columns. The building is oriented from north to south and, once, at the end of the porch was a paved courtyard – known as the “selese” – used for spreading small quantities of wheat or corn to dry in the sun.
The Venetian villa, owned by the Pomini family, was transformed in the late 1990s, at the initiative of a group of entrepreneurs, into a brewery with an attached venue for serving. After thirteen years of operation, the brewery ceased its activities, but the brewery has continued to operate and is still active today.
Today, the Barchessa is in excellent condition. The brewery, equipped with one of the most advanced systems created by the historic company Velo, is running at full capacity and produces various types of beers.
Inside the villa, one can admire the wonderful fresco painted in 1789 by Giambattista Canal, located on the ceiling of the central staircase. The centuries-old mulberries enhance the large garden that borders the Barchessa.
The structure is located just a few kilometers from Castelfranco Veneto, from the Brion Tomb in San Vito di Altivole, and from the Sile Springs in Cavasagra di Vedelago.
