Prosecco Hills Wine Tour from Venice: 2 Wineries & Lunch

Two Wineries, One Sommelier, and Why Prosecco Tastes Better Where It's Made

You get picked up from Venice, driven to two family-run Prosecco wineries in the DOCG hills, guided through tastings of sparkling and still varieties by a sommelier, and fed a traditional lunch at a working farm restaurant. Transport, wine, food, and expertise are all included. You just show up and let the day happen.

The experience

You probably think you know Prosecco from a bottle at home, but you don't really know it until you've stood in a vineyard in the Veneto hills and tasted it the way the people who made it do. The all-inclusive day tour picks you up from Venice in an air-conditioned van and drives you into the DOCG Prosecco region, about an hour north, where the rolling landscape looks nothing like the city you just left. Your guide is an English-speaking sommelier, which means the two winery visits aren't just "here's where we make it". They're actual tastings where someone who knows the craft walks you through what you're drinking and why it matters.

The first stop is one of the boutique producers in the heart of the wine-producing area, and you'll taste both the crisp, dry sparkling wines Prosecco is known for and some of the still varieties that don't make it into export bottles. After that, there's a light lunch at an authentic agriturismo, a working farm restaurant, where they serve local specialties that pair with what you've just learned to taste. It's not a rushed meal. It's the kind of place where the food tastes like it belongs to the land around you. Then you move to the second winery, another tasting, and by the time you're heading back to Venice in the late afternoon, you've actually understood something about wine instead of just drinking it.

The whole thing runs as a full day, which sounds long until you realize how much ground (literally and in terms of knowledge) you've covered. Transportation, both tastings, lunch, and the sommelier's time are all included, so there's no surprise bill at the end and no figuring out how to get between wineries without a car. You're not navigating public transport with a buzz on, and you're not pretending to understand wine jargon while a rushed guide moves you through. It's the kind of day that changes how you think about a bottle you've probably bought a dozen times.
