Tour and 3 wines tasting in the Prosecco Hills

De Riz winery gives you a quick, personal introduction to the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Hills. You first walk among the vines, then hear how the family makes its wines before tasting three selections with typical local snacks. Guide Pamela adds useful food tips and explains the differences between the wines clearly.

I like the family story, which begins with grandfather Carlo and continues with his grandson Luca. I also like the simple value: at $23.27, you get a vineyard visit, wine education, three tastings, snacks, and bottled water. The main drawback is the short one-hour format and the lack of private transportation, so you need to reach the winery in San Pietro di Feletto on your own.

Key points to know

• Three wines with local snacks: The tasting pairs Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco with typical products.
• A real working family winery: De Riz has about 16 hectares and produces around 90 percent Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene.
• Vineyard walk before tasting: You see the setting first, then learn about the production process.
• Pamela leads the welcome: She explains wine differences and can suggest places to eat.
• Private for your group: Only your party takes part, rather than joining a large shared group.
• Easy cancellation terms: You can receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.

A short visit to the Prosecco Hills

This experience takes place at De Riz winery in San Pietro di Feletto, a town in the Treviso area. The setting matters. Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG is the top protected designation for the area’s Prosecco Superiore, so this visit connects the glass in front of you with the hills where the grapes are grown.

The tour lasts about one hour. That makes it a good fit for a short stop in the region, a morning outing, or a wine break added to a wider visit around Treviso. It is not a full-day wine excursion, and you should not expect several winery stops or a long meal.

You arrive at Via Pianale, 72, in Borgo Lozzo. The activity ends at the same meeting point, which keeps the plan simple once you have reached the property. Private transportation is not included, so you must arrange your own way there.

Carlo, Luca, and a family approach to wine

The story behind De Riz begins with Carlo, the grandfather who passed his love of nature and grape growing to his grandson Luca. Luca became interested in the work as a teenager, and that early connection eventually shaped the family business.

In 2009, the family restored the winery and added the technology needed for modern wine production. That combination gives you a useful angle during the visit. You are not only hearing a family tale, and you are not only seeing a modern facility. You are learning how a small, family-run operation tries to keep traditional care while improving its winemaking tools.

The winery manages around 16 hectares, mainly in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG area. About 90 percent of its production is Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene, with other wines also available. That production mix makes the tasting especially focused. If you want to understand the area’s main wine, this is more useful than a tasting built around unrelated bottles from many regions.

De Riz also places emphasis on caring for the ecosystem and managing the vineyards and winemaking process with respect for the land and people. The information provided does not promise a formal sustainability tour, so I would treat this as part of the winery’s working philosophy rather than a separate activity.

Walking through the vineyard before the tasting

The visit starts with a tour of the vineyard. This is a small but important choice in the schedule. You see the growing environment before someone explains the finished wine, which helps the tasting feel tied to a place rather than detached from it.

The vineyard walk is also the best chance to ask questions about the production process. You can learn how the grapes move from the rows to the winery and how the family turns them into wine. The exact length of the walk and the distance covered are not specified, so expect an introduction rather than a strenuous hike.

The hills around San Pietro di Feletto provide the setting for the experience, but the visit is not sold as a scenic viewpoint tour. The focus is wine production. If you are looking for sweeping photo stops or a long walk through the countryside, this may feel brief. If you want a clear explanation of where Prosecco comes from, the vineyard opening makes good use of the limited time.

Wear shoes that are comfortable for walking outdoors. That is practical advice for any vineyard visit, though the experience does not state that special footwear is required.

Seeing how De Riz makes its wines

After the vineyard, you discover the heart of the production process. The visit explains how the grapes become wine and how the restored winery uses modern equipment to support quality.

The supplied details do not set out every technical stage, so you should not expect a full production lecture with a fixed list of cellar demonstrations. What you can expect is a guided introduction to the way De Riz works, linked to the family’s approach to nature and wine.

This part is valuable because it gives context to the three glasses that follow. Without it, a tasting can become a quick comparison of color, smell, and flavor. Here, you get a basic sense of the work behind the bottle and the role of the winery in the local wine area.

The visit is private for your group. That means you can ask questions without competing with a large crowd, and the pace can feel more direct. The information does not specify the maximum group size, so private does not necessarily mean one-on-one attention. Still, only your party participates, which is a useful feature for couples, families, or small groups who prefer a quieter visit.

Tasting three wines with typical products

The tasting is the main event. You sample three wines, including Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco, alongside a selection of typical local products. Snacks and bottled water are included in the price.

The food pairing gives the tasting more purpose. A small bite between wines can help you notice how sweetness, acidity, bubbles, and food work together. It also makes the visit more than a simple pour-and-go stop, though you should think of the food as snacks rather than lunch.

Pamela is the guide named in the available information. Her role appears to be especially useful for first-time tasters. She explains differences between the wines in plain terms and can offer suggestions about where to eat afterward. That last point is handy if you are using the winery visit as part of a day in the Treviso area.

You can also ask in advance about allergies, food requests, or special diets. The winery says it will try to adapt the menu on request. This is not a guarantee that every request can be met, so contact the winery before arrival rather than waiting until the tasting begins.

The tasting seems designed for curious beginners as well as people who already enjoy Prosecco. You do not need to arrive with a vocabulary of wine terms. The format gives you a chance to compare the selections and ask what makes them different.

What the $23.27 price really covers

At $23.27 per person, this is a low-cost introduction to a major Italian wine area. You receive about an hour of attention, a vineyard visit, an explanation of production, three wine tastings, local snacks, and bottled water.

The value is strongest if you are already nearby. Since transportation is not included, the cost of reaching San Pietro di Feletto can become the largest part of your total spend. If you need to hire a private car or arrange an expensive transfer just for this one-hour activity, the bargain becomes less clear.

The short duration also shapes the value. You are paying for a compact winery welcome, not a long estate visit with a full meal. I would book it for a focused taste of the Prosecco Hills, not as your only wine experience in northern Italy.

The private format improves the value for a small group. You are not paying for a large bus tour, and you can keep the discussion tied to your own questions. For solo visitors, the price is still reasonable, though the private arrangement may be more useful to couples or groups sharing the booking.

Planning your visit from Treviso

The meeting point is in Borgo Lozzo, at Via Pianale, 72, 31020 Borgo Lozzo TV, Italy. The winery is near public transportation, but the information does not identify a specific bus, train, or walking route. Check your route carefully before booking, especially for a morning or afternoon appointment.

Visits are listed Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The midday gap matters. Do not arrive expecting an appointment during the closed period.

A mobile ticket is provided, and confirmation arrives at booking. The activity ends back at the meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a second pickup location.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can take part. The experience is not described as fully accessible in every detail, so ask ahead if you have specific mobility needs, particularly because part of the visit takes place in a vineyard.

The experience is offered through June 16, 2026, according to the stated operating dates. Opening times and availability can change, so confirm the date and time shown when you book.

Who will enjoy this winery visit

I would recommend De Riz to you if you want a short, focused taste of Prosecco country rather than a full wine day. It suits couples, families, small groups, and anyone making a detour from Venice or Treviso.

It is also a good choice for people who want a personal welcome. Pamela’s clear explanations and restaurant suggestions add practical value beyond the wine itself. The family connection gives the visit a human scale, while the modern winery provides a look at how the operation works today.

This is less suitable if you need transportation included, want a full meal, or hope to spend several hours walking among the vines. You should also choose another experience if you prefer a broad tasting of many Italian regions. De Riz concentrates mainly on its local Prosecco specialty.

The simple schedule makes it easy to add before or after another activity, but do not assume you can arrive late and still receive the full visit. The tasting and vineyard walk are fitted into a one-hour window.

Cancellation and booking basics

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience begins. Changes or cancellations made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off uses local time.

The experience requires a minimum number of participants. If the winery cancels because that minimum is not reached, you can choose another date or experience, or receive a full refund.

Because the visit is often booked about 12 days ahead, it is sensible to reserve in advance if your Treviso plans are fixed. That is not a requirement, but it gives you a better chance of matching the winery’s weekday schedule with your own.

Should you book De Riz winery?

Book this experience if you want an affordable introduction to Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco, a vineyard walk, and a family-run setting without committing to a half-day excursion. The price is fair for the three tastings, snacks, and private format.

Skip it if getting to the winery is difficult or if you expect a long cellar tour and substantial food. The one-hour length is both its strength and its limit.

For many visitors, the best reason to go is the balance: local wine, a personal guide, a family story, and just enough production detail to make the tasting meaningful. Add the visit to a day in the Treviso area, arrange your transportation first, and request any food adjustments in advance.
