Half Day Prosecco and Cheese Tasting from Venice

About this tour

Travel from Venice into the Prosecco DOCG region to taste Italy's celebrated sparkling wine and artisanal cheeses from family producers. Over five hours, a local guide walks you through production methods, pairing principles, and the story behind each bottle and wedge. You'll sit down to a light lunch featuring cured meats and cheese, then return to Venice with a working knowledge of what makes these flavours sing together.

Highlights

• Taste Prosecco straight from DOCG-certified vineyards
• Learn cheese and wine pairing from an expert guide
• Visit family-run cheese makers and their operations
• Light lunch of local salami, cheese and accompaniments
• Air-conditioned transport from Venice

What to expect

You'll leave Venice in a comfortable vehicle and head into the rolling hills where Prosecco grapes grow. The guide introduces you to how sparkling wine is made—the yeasts, the timing, the bubbles—before you taste several expressions. Then you move to cheese producers, where you'll see how curds become wheels and learn what age and milk type do to flavour. Back at a tasting space, the guide shows you which cheeses complement which wines, and you eat your way through examples. Bring a notebook; there's real information here, not just sipping.
