Prosecco Region Discovery Tour with Tastings from Venice
Uncork the hills of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano on a guided half-day journey through the heartland of Italian sparkling wine.
The Prosecco region tour from Venice takes you beyond the postcard canals and into the UNESCO-listed hills where Italy's most celebrated sparkling wine is born, aged, and poured with quiet pride. In six focused hours, you will visit two working wineries, taste multiple varieties, and share a light lunch at a local restaurant.
Departing Venice in a comfortable minivan, the route winds through the green vineyard landscapes of the Treviso countryside before climbing into the Conegliano Valdobbiadene production zone. The terrain here is steep and terraced, shaped over centuries by generations of vine growers whose methods have changed remarkably little.
At each winery stop, a knowledgeable host walks you through the distinctions between production styles, grape selections, and the controlled designations that separate a basic Prosecco DOC from the prized Superiore DOCG. Tastings are conducted in the cellars themselves, giving context that no wine shop can replicate.
The small group format keeps the experience personal and unhurried. A seated lunch at a family-run trattoria rounds out the day with regional dishes before the minivan returns you to the city in the early afternoon.

Itinerary
The minivan collects the group from the meeting point in Venice and heads northwest into the Treviso countryside. The drive itself passes through flat agricultural plains before the terrain begins to rise toward the production hills.
Arriving at the first traditional producer, your host introduces the vineyard, the grape varieties grown on-site, and the distinctions between still and sparkling production methods. A guided tasting of several wines follows in the cellar.
The minivan continues through the UNESCO-recognized hillside landscape, passing the most photographed vineyard terraces in the region. The guide provides commentary on the history of Prosecco and the geography that defines its character.
At the second producer, a complementary range of wines is presented, allowing direct comparison between estates and production philosophies. The tasting includes selections from the Superiore DOCG classification.
The group is seated at a family-run restaurant serving traditional dishes from the Venetian countryside. The meal is designed to complement the morning's tastings and provides a relaxed pause before the return journey.
The minivan drives the group back to the original meeting point in Venice, completing the half-day tour. Arrival is expected in the early-to-mid afternoon depending on the day's pace.
