Prosecco Wine Tour

We will meet at the Conegliano train station and provide private transfer to your hotel.
Upon request we can organize alternate transportation if you arrive from other places.
Accommodations are at a 4 star hotel in a little town in the heart of Prosecco hills. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff is freindly, helpful and kind.
The breakfast is great.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we'll celebrate with a traditional aperitif as you settle into your rooms. We will visit a local winery in the late afternoon for your first Prosecco di Valdobbiadene wine tasting!

In the evening, we'll enjoy a welcome dinner together at the agriturismo of the winery amongst beautiful views of the Prealps of Belluno. We will feast on traditional foods, Italian salumi, and other indigenous wines that have been made by the family using old recipes and methods.

Sunday will begin with a visit to an antique water mill close to a water fall that is still producing flour today. We will then visit a winery in Conegliano that is run by Marco and Francesca. There we will taste their Proseccos made with natural fermentation that are brut and extra dry.

We will enjoy lunch together at a traditional trattoria visited just by the locals, followed by a walk through Conegliano with an English-speaking guide. We will return to the hotel at the end of the day and have dinner nearby.

On Monday morning, we will stroll through Asolo, one of the most captivating towns of this medieval region. As you lose yourself in its streets, you'll discover interesting secrets of art, royal mansions, markets, delicatessen shops, and craftsmen's workshops. At the same time, you'll enjoy beautiful vistas of the Veneto flatlands and the Alps in the distance.

We will then visit the winery at an old Palladian villa protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here we will experience exquisite Italian art and architecture, as well as enjoy wine tasting and lunch at the osteria on the property. Later in the afternoon, we will tour Bassano del Grappa located along the Brenta river just below Monte Grappa. In this area, we will visit a historical grappa producer for a tasting and enjoy a pleasant promenade in the radiant atmosphere of the town.

In the evening, we will return to our hotel and have dinner at a nearby restaurant.

We drive towards Treviso and stop for a very special cooking class all based on red "radicchio Trevigiano" (from Treviso). All the dishes will include this delicacy, from risotto to dessert!
Lunch after the cooking class.

The afternoon will be dedicated to exploring the noble and fascinating atmosphere of Treviso. The waterways and canals of the city are a true feast for the eyes! We will walk with a local guide to discover the artistic side and convivial character of this beautiful city.

Stop at the best pastry shop to taste the wonderful original tiramisu, that was invented exactly in Treviso!
Then we will return to our hotel.

In the evening, we'll enjoy a fantastic dinner at a welcoming trattoria close by.

Wednesday morning we will visit an Italian "caseificio" (where cheese is produced), that has been ran by the same family for many generations. Here we will taste cow, sheep, buffalo and goat cheese along with other traditional dairy products. We will enjoy lunch here as we learn about their traditions of cheese making.

In the afternoon, we will visit a beautiful, prestigious family-owned winery and agricultural company run by a mother and her four daughters. This winery is one of the cornerstones of the traditional Prosecco DOCG production and is considered one of the most important in the region.

We will take a cooking class in the kitchen of this winery with a chef who will teach us how to cook delicious local dishes. We'll enjoy these dishes for dinner along with wonderful wines from the winery.

Back to our hotel.

Thursday will begin with a drive toward Valdobbiadene. This is the only area that produces Cartizze, a superior variety of Prosecco. We will taste this special wine at a deluxe winery with captivating views.

We will then visit the little town of Valdobbiadene and stop for coffee at one of the smallest coffee roasters in Italy! We'll enjoy lunch at a typical Italian osteria with local "salumi" and cheese accompanied with a great home made Prosecco.

In the afternoon, we'll return to our hotel and take pleasure in our farewell dinner together at one of our favorite trattorias, considered one of the best of the area. You will be captured by the wonderful food and the warm atmosphere!
