Step-by-step itinerary

Oil and wine tour in Euganean Hills

• Explore the Euganean Hills
• Visit family-run olive oil mill
• Taste extra virgin olive oil
• Tour vineyard and cellar at winery
• Taste typical Euganean Hills wines

The experience

The Euganean Hills rise from the Padovan-Venetian plain a few kilometers south of Venice, volcanic peaks reaching 300 to 600 meters that have grown olives and grapes for generations. The tour starts from Abano or Montegrotto and moves through the hills to a family-run olive oil mill, where producers walk you through how extra virgin olive oil is made, then you taste their product. From there you head to a winery positioned to look out over the vineyard and cellar. After a tour of both, you sit down to taste the typical wines of the region.

The whole outing runs three to four hours and stays small (eight people or fewer), so there's room to ask questions and move at a pace that lets the tastings land. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or German, and the air-conditioned vehicle handles the driving between stops, which matters if you're staying in the spa towns without a rental car.
