The experience

You drive out of Venice early, leaving the canals behind for the Prosecco hills: the landscape shifts from stone and water to rolling vineyards the color of new leaves. Riccardo, a certified sommelier, handles the route and the talking, and the group stays small, capped at seven people, so there's no jostling or waiting around. The first winery appears after an hour or so, family-run, the kind of place where the owner's grandfather planted the vines and the cellar still smells like earth and yeast.

At each of the two wineries you stop at, you taste four different Prosecco styles, not a rush through a lineup, but a real tasting, where Riccardo walks you through what you're drinking: the terroir, the method, why this one tastes like green apple and this one like honey. You learn how the grapes move from harvest to fermentation, and you see the cellars where it happens. Between tastings, there's time to ask questions or just stand in the vineyard and look around. A light lunch of local cheese, salami and pizza arrives at one of the wineries, and if you eat vegetarian, they have options ready.

The pace is the whole point here. This isn't a tick-box tour where you're herded through five stops before lunch. You get space to absorb what you're tasting, to talk to the winemakers if they're around, and to buy bottles directly from the producers if something speaks to you. The air-conditioned vehicle means the drive back to Venice doesn't feel like an ordeal, and by the time you're back in the city, you've spent a full day learning Prosecco from someone who actually knows it, not just someone reading from a script.

What’s included

• Your day includes private air-conditioned transport from Venice (or Treviso or Conegliano), visits and guided tastings at two small family-run wineries with four wines at each stop, a certified sommelier and English-speaking local guide, a light lunch with local cheese, salami and pizza (vegetarian options available), and time to purchase wines directly from the producers.
• A photo stop is also included.
• The group is kept to a maximum of 7 guests to maintain a relaxed, premium pace.
