Escape Venice for a private day through the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills. Stroll Conegliano, drive the Strada del Prosecco, visit a family winery, and take in the Cartizze viewpoint with panoramic vineyard views.
You leave the canals and crowd-worn stones of Venice behind and watch the city give way to orchards and vineyard slopes. Sunlight angles across rows of glera vines as the driver eases onto the Strada del Prosecco — a ribbon of road that threads through small villages and terraced hills. The air tastes faintly of grass and fermentation; the landscape seems intent on being seen.

You leave the canals and crowd-worn stones of Venice behind and watch the city give way to orchards and vineyard slopes. Sunlight angles across rows of glera vines as the driver eases onto the Strada del Prosecco — a ribbon of road that threads through small villages and terraced hills. The air tastes faintly of grass and fermentation; the landscape seems intent on being seen.
This is the Prosecco Hills, a UNESCO cultural landscape shaped by centuries of smallholder viticulture. Conegliano’s frescoed facades and medieval core tell the region’s human story, while the folded limestone and marl soils of Cartizze concentrate flavor in famously prized grapes. Local cellar traditions emphasize hands-on pressing and time-honored secondary fermentation — practices you’ll hear about at a family-run winery stop.
Culturally, villages here retain slow rhythms: late lunches, midday shop closures and wineries that double as living rooms. Photographers favor the Cartizze viewpoint for a wide sweep of green ridgelines and neat vine terraces; walkers will appreciate short, quiet lanes that cut between rows.
Practical guidance: plan a full day — the tour runs about nine hours from Venice. Wear comfortable shoes for cobbles and short vineyard slopes, and bring a light jacket; hilltop breezes can be cooler than the coast. If you intend to taste, designate a driver or book the private transfer included in the tour. Carry a small amount of cash for local osterie and buy wine directly from producers when possible — bottles purchased at the source are often better priced and support small operations.
Tastings are optional; the itinerary includes a visit to a local winery where you can choose to pay for a tasting or tour.
Door-to-door travel takes roughly 1 to 1.5 hours each way depending on traffic; the full experience runs about nine hours.
Lunch is not typically included; the tour stops at a village with vineyard views where you can order a regional lunch at your own expense.
Yes — the booking specifies a private vehicle and driver who also functions as an informal local guide.
