Private Food and Wine Tour on the Prosecco Hills from Venice

About this tour

This private seven-and-a-half-hour tour departs Venice for the rolling vineyards of Prosecco DOCG, between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle through hillside villages, medieval castles and ancient churches, stopping at a family winery for tastings, lunch at a working agriturismo, and a grappa distillery visit. Local wines, regional foods and artisanal spirits form the backbone of the day—expect genuine Venetian hospitality rather than tourist-circuit polish.

What to expect

Departure is from Piazzale Roma in central Venice. Your guide drives a small group through the Prosecco region's signature landscape—green hills planted with vines, distant Alps on the horizon, and villages built into the slopes. The morning involves a winery stop with tastings of local wines paired with simple snacks. Lunch happens at a genuine agriturismo (farm restaurant) serving their own produce. Afternoon includes a visit to a traditional grappa distillery where you'll sample smooth spirits made in the traditional Venetian way. Throughout, expect to stop at viewpoints and walk through small hamlets. Children receive appropriate alternatives at alcohol-tasting stops.
