Time to get those walking boots on.

Yep, you heard us!

Tours of “The Prosecco Road” in Italy – a 120km stretch of mountainous land that joins Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, and brings the visitor through scenery of endless vineyards, villages and little towns is now becoming a popular holiday with tourists and lovers of the fizz.

According to Grazia, you can visit over 175 family-run wineries along this beautiful stretch of land and taste some of the finest prosecco (including rare still prosecco without fizz) that the area has to offer.

The narrow paths and roads meander along the cliffside giving you both breathtaking views and incredible weather while enjoying your favourite beverage.

The tour can be done by foot, bicycle or car, but the recommended suggestion is to book a tour guide to make sure you see it all.

Trekk Market run tours from €116 for a one day tour and included is

  • 8 seat minivan with professional driver
  • Guided visit and wine tasting in a winery

According to the website, they describe the one day tour as follows:

“We will visit one of the most important Cantine of the area, following a guided visit you get a taste of different prosecco wine. You can have also the chance to purchase a few bottles of wine before making our way to the enchanting little town of Follina with the ancient 14th century Abbey. Built on a former Benedictine abbey in the twelfth century building, the present Follina Abbey (1305 Abbot Walter of Lodi – 1335 Abbot Nordio Treviso) shows the typical construction plant with the Latin west facing façade and the apse facing east just as symbolism involved the Cistercian. After free time in Follina just sit back and enjoy the views during the return to Venice.”

The tours begin and finish in Venice and you can read all about them online here.

Sounds like the dream to us.
