Prosecco Hills winery tour: 4 tastings with local food

What does premium Prosecco DOCG actually taste like?

A five-hour winery tour from Venice to the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills, where you meet the owner of a family-run winery, taste four glasses of premium Prosecco DOCG, and eat local cold cuts and cheese from small producers. The group stays small, up to six guests, and private transport picks you up and drops you back in Venice.

Step-by-step itinerary

Prosecco Hills Winery Tour and Tastings

• Pickup from Piazzale Roma Venice
• Travel through Alpine foothills
• Arrive at local winery
• Meet winery owner
• Learn Prosecco history and production
• Taste four Prosecco varieties
• Enjoy local meats and cheeses
• Return to Venice

The experience

The drive from Piazzale Roma takes just over an hour, and the Alpine foothill views start before you arrive. At the winery, the owner walks you through how Prosecco is made, from the vineyards to the bottle, and explains what sets DOCG certification apart from the mass-produced versions most tours pour. You taste four glasses of premium Prosecco DOCG (wines without added sulfites, which means a cleaner, more natural flavor) paired with local cold cuts and cheese sourced only from small farmers and producers in the region, plus bread and breadsticks.

The group caps at six guests, so the tasting feels intimate rather than rushed. You can ask questions, linger over a glass, and actually hear what the owner is saying. The return journey gives you time to settle back into Venice with the afternoon still ahead.

Is this one for you?Book the two-winery option if you want to compare different producers and styles across the afternoon. Choose the single-winery tour if you prefer to spend more time at one place and move at a slower pace. Either way, the small group size and DOCG focus set this apart from larger group tastings in the region.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

How long is the drive from Venice to Prosecco Hills?

The drive takes just over an hour from Piazzale Roma, so you spend the bulk of the five-hour tour at the winery and traveling through the Alpine foothills.

What makes the Prosecco at this winery different from what I can buy in a store?

The winery produces premium Prosecco DOCG, which means it meets strict regional standards for production and quality. Unlike most tours that visit wineries without DOCG certification, this one focuses on that certified product. The wines also contain no added sulfites, giving them a more natural taste.

Can I arrange pickup from somewhere other than Piazzale Roma?

Yes. Pickup can be arranged from Treviso, Conegliano, or Mestre as well as Piazzale Roma. Contact the operator after booking to confirm the meeting point that works best for you.

What exactly comes with the food pairing?

The tasting includes local cold cuts and cheese sourced only from small farmers and producers in Veneto, plus bread and breadsticks. Everything is regional and meant to complement the Prosecco.

Is this tour suitable if I'm not a wine expert?

Yes. The owner guides you through the production process and history in an intimate setting, so you learn as you taste. No prior knowledge of wine is required.
