The Prosecco Region

A previously untouched area in terms of tourism, the Prosecco region has experienced something of a “pop” in recent years, and this is primarily due to the increasing popularity of the fruity, fizzy wine made here.

Just a stone’s throw from the magnificent city of Venice, the Prosecco countryside’s breathtaking landscape make the Veneto region an ideal destination for those who are looking to sample Champagne’s main competitor, and perhaps enjoy a romantic city break at the same time. Trips can be arranged in the city itself, with transported tours out to the vineyards, or for a more tranquil stay, accommodation can be booked for you in a rural retreat an hour’s drive from the city.

Venice, the capital of the picturesque Veneto region, oozes romance. Built on more than 100 small islands, the city appears to rise out of the water. There are no cars or motorways, making canals and boats the only way to travel to most areas of the city. Famed for its impressive Grand Canal, its unique setting and its breathtaking architecture, “must sees” include the Piazza San Marco and its Basilica, the Ducal Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, and no trip to Venice would be complete without a ride in a traditional gondola. Grape Escapes can arrange your perfect trip to Venice in addition to your Prosecco wine tour.

The rural home of Prosecco are the vineyards surrounding the tiny towns of Valdobbiadene and Vittorio Veneto. Picturesque and tranquil, we can arrange wine tours based in quaint, family-run boutique hotels and on-site at some of the region’s wineries. Why not combine a city break to Venice with a serene stay in the vineyards? Vineyard stays are only advised if you are intending on hiring a car for your trip.
