About this tour
This five-hour tour departs Venice for the Prosecco Hills UNESCO site, where rolling vineyards and quiet villages replace tourist crowds. You'll visit a small family-run winery producing acclaimed Valdobbiadene DOCG, taste several Prosecco styles, and eat light local fare amid vineyard views. The afternoon finishes at a hilltop estate with panoramic countryside before returning to Venice by late afternoon.
Highlights
- Small family winery, not mass-market producers
- Multiple Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG tastings
- Home-cooked lunch with regional ingredients
- Hilltop viewpoint overlooking UNESCO vineyards
- Coach travel from central Venice, under one hour
What to expect
After collection from Tronchetto, expect a comfortable coach journey through terraced hillsides dotted with vines and hamlets. At the family vineyard, staff walk you through their process and pour several Prosecco expressions to compare. Lunch happens on-site or nearby—modest portions of house-made pasta, cured meats, cheeses. The tour's second leg takes you to an estate perched high on the hills; time there is spent drinking in both wine and views. Roads are hilly but roads themselves are well-maintained. Return to Venice by mid-afternoon.
Good to know
Pickup is at Venice's Tronchetto bus station, not hotels. Wear comfortable shoes for gentle walking at wineries. Only guests 18+ receive alcoholic wine; younger travellers get juice or soft drinks. Space is limited—wines can be shipped worldwide if baggage won't fit. Not advised for those with significant heart or mobility concerns.
