Valdobbiadene: Cartizze Prosecco Tasting & Organic Vineyard Tour

Summary

Cartizze Prosecco tasting with cellar walk and organic vines

You’ll taste four kinds of Cartizze Prosecco in Valdobbiadene with a local guide—learning to spot flavors as you go—then head outside for an honest look at organic vineyards and ancient vines before ending with snacks, stories, and hillside views that linger longer than expected.

What’s the experience like?

“Try this one — it’s the driest,” our guide said, sliding the glass across the table. I’d never really thought about how many shades of Prosecco there could be until we sat in that sunlit room in Valdobbiadene, four sparkling glasses lined up like little celebrations. The first sip was sharp and light, almost like biting into a green apple. Someone at the next table tried to guess the aromas—peach? Pear? I just nodded along, but honestly I mostly tasted summer. There was this faint smell of yeast and grass drifting in from somewhere, maybe the kitchen or maybe just the open window.

The Cartizze vineyards are right outside—organic, our guide kept saying, and you could actually see it: wildflowers between the rows, not those neat lines you sometimes see elsewhere. We wandered out after the tasting (and after demolishing a plate of cheese and something sweet I still can’t pronounce). The air felt sticky-warm, and when I touched one of those old vines—over a hundred years old!—the bark felt rougher than I expected. Our guide talked about how everything here is done without chemicals. She pointed to a hillside where you could see workers moving slowly between the leaves. It’s funny—I always thought wine tours were fancier somehow, but here it just felt like being invited into someone’s backyard.

I’m still thinking about that last stop at their “photo point.” Everyone took turns snapping pictures with the hills rolling behind us. I didn’t expect to care much about that part but now every time I look at my phone it brings back this weird mix of sunlight and laughter—and maybe a little bit of prosecco fuzziness too. If you’re ever near Valdobbiadene and want to understand what makes Cartizze Prosecco special (or just want an afternoon that feels both relaxed and kind of memorable), this is worth it.
