About this tour
Head into the rolling vineyard country north of Venice to discover how Prosecco gets made, visiting two working producers in the Valdobiaddene region. You'll walk through the hillside villages of San Pietro di Feletto and Refrontolo, see the medieval Abbazia di Santa Maria di Follina, taste wines at both estates, and sit down to a proper lunch. An eight-hour loop with an English-speaking guide, transport, and all drinks included.
Highlights
- Two vineyard tastings in the Prosecco heartland
- Medieval abbey and hilltop village exploration
- Learn fermentation and production techniques firsthand
- Sit-down lunch with local food pairings
- Air-conditioned transport from Venice
What to expect
You'll be picked up in a comfortable sedan or minivan and driven north into gently sloping terrain covered in vines. The morning involves walking around a producing village or two, getting a feel for how tightly packed these vineyards are on steep slopes. At the first estate, a winemaker or their team will talk you through their process—from harvest through bottling—before you taste a few different proseccos. There's a break for lunch with food chosen to complement what you're drinking. The second vineyard follows a similar structure, with another set of tastings. You'll also visit the abbey, a calm spot with some history attached. Expect to be back in Venice by early evening.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip; some paths are steep and can be muddy after rain. Bring sunscreen and a hat. The tastings are real—pace yourself or drink water between pours. Infants can come along in a pram; high chairs and specialised seats are available.
