About this tour
Step into a century-old cheesemaking operation nestled in the Prosecco hills near Valdobbiadene. This hour-long visit traces the Perenzin family's legacy through their working dairy, with a knowledgeable guide walking you through temperature-controlled aging rooms where wheels develop their characteristic tang and complexity. You'll taste four house cheeses at journey's end, each one a snapshot of their terroir and technique. Wine pairings are available if you want to linger longer.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you at the museum entrance and walk you through the Perenzin story—how a family operation evolved into a serious producer. You'll move into the cellars proper: rows of shelves stacked with ageing wheels in controlled temperature and humidity. The guide points out texture changes, explains why they turn the cheeses on certain schedules, and talks about the milk source and cultures used. After 30-40 minutes on the floor, you'll sit down for the tasting. Each cheese comes with tasting notes; you'll notice how time and technique shift flavour profiles. If you've booked wine pairings, these arrive course by course.
Good to know
The tour runs year-round and suits all fitness levels. Allow extra time if adding wine pairings—they can stretch the experience to 90 minutes. Parking is straightforward; public transport links exist but a car is more convenient. Bring a cardigan: the cellars stay cool year-round.
