Based in the romantic and picturesque city of Venice, this Veneto wine tour gives you the opportunity to have a taste of the breath-taking Venetian culture while enjoying an introduction to the Prosecco wines and its quaint countryside. Once settled in at the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, head to the famous Saint Mark’s Square, where you will start your trip in style, in the timeless setting of the iconic Caffè Florian, the oldest European café, where an afternoon tea or an aperitivo (depending on your arrival time) will be served, alongside local pastries and finger sandwiches. In the evening, we would be pleased to recommend a restaurant and reserve you a table for dinner if required.
On day two, your English-speaking driver/guide will meet you at Piazzale Roma for a full day transported and guided tour of the Prosecco wine region. You will be taken to three small authentic wineries, to enjoy three different types of experiences. One will be focused on the technical aspect of the Prosecco making process and will be followed by tastings of two glasses of Prosecco. Another one will be focused on the emotional aspect, with explanations of the differences between the Prosecco wines in terms of grape varieties and flavours. You will also have the amazing opportunity to take part in a blind tasting! The third visit will be take place in a traditional Cantina based in the heart of the characteristic Prosecco hills and will of course also be followed by the obligatory tasting session. A delicious and authentic picnic lunch will be served in the middle of the Prosecco vineyards.
If you choose to stay for a third night, you will be taken on a four hour gastronomy tour on foot around the city, stopping at several venues to taste authentic Venetian specialities as well as local drinks. No trip to Venice would be complete without a ride on a Venetian gondola, so in the afternoon, enjoy an enchanting cruise along the Grand Canal, and marvel at the delightful and memorable views of Venice from the river. After such an enlightening day, a four course traditional Venetian dinner will be waiting for you in a unique setting- an elegant city centre restaurant with a nautical theme. A different Italian wine will be specifically paired to each course by the sommelier.
