Escape Venice for Valdobbiadene, eight Prosecco tastings, a four-course family lunch, and beautiful vineyard views in a small group.
“Our guides, Carlo and Sebastian, were absolutely amazing. Aside from the Prosecco tastings, we were treated to an enormous lunch at their family osteria; as well as several other stops to visit people and places from Sebastian’s life - both past and present. These little details made the experience so much better than just a wine tour. This is an absolute must do activity for anyone in the area.”

See Venice from three private rooftops, wander quiet lanes, and finish with Prosecco and snacks on a 2.5-hour small-group tour.
“Enjoyed the talk given by the guide, she took us off the normal trails and took us to more quieter but still interesting places that we would have never found or even realised the history behind it. Enjoyed the morning coffee/orange juice at one hotel after seeing the sights of their roof top and a lovely glass of Prosecco at the last. It was very enjoyable and a great way to see another view of Venice!!”

Enjoy a one-hour opera concert in Verona’s Art Deco Palazzo dei Mutilati, with prosecco, acclaimed singers, piano, and an artist meet-and-greet.
“This was an unexpectedly excellent occasion. The two singers, one a renor, the other a mezzo-soprano, were both amazingly superior to any I have heard except in an opera house itself. (In fact, I found out that the mezzo, Serena Romanelli, was rushing off to a rehearsal of "Nabucco" at the Arena di Verona immediately after her performance.) The tenor, Enrico Pertile, was strongly voiced and very sonorous in his interpretations of Pagliacci in "Vesti la gubbia", which brought the house down. The selection of arias from different operas suited the occasion, as well as the voices and, more than once, I was reduced to tears (the sign to me…”
Taste Prosecco or red wine with Venetian sommelier Marco in a small bar near Accademia Bridge, paired with local snacks and stories.

Taste four premium Prosecco DOCG wines, local cheeses and meats on a small-group trip from Venice to the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills.
“Paolo was fantastic. He contacted us the night before the tour to confirm the meeting point. I did the tour with a friend - there was also another couple so an intimate group of four. The winery was fabulous. The host Flávio from Le Volpere was very knowledgeable and we got to taste five wines with a platter. I now know & understand why the Prosecco I have tasted in Australia has not been great - because it is not DOCG!! I will be looking for it on the labels on my return. It was pouring with rain and we did not get to explore the vineyard as would normally…”
Pick a canal, a counter or a hillside.
