Explore the finest wineries in Veneto and e-bike along the ‘Path of Prosecco’ with the option to extend your stay in Venice

Is there any finer pleasure in life than relaxing on a sunny day with a cool glass of crisp Prosecco in hand? Now imagine taking the first delicious sip as you admire the breathtaking beauty of the region this sparkling wine comes from; the sunkissed vineyards of northern Italy's Veneto.

On this self-driven trip, you will enjoy private, behind-the-scenes tours and tastings at some of Prosecco's most prestigious wineries, and will have plenty of freedom in between your planned activities.

Your home for the trip will be the delightful Hotel Conta in Pieve di Soligo, a beautifully restored villa right in the heart of Pieve di Soligo's historic quarter. It makes a perfect base for exploring the historic attractions of Pieve di Soligo and the heavenly landscapes of the surrounding countryside.

This trip is all about wine tastings. You'll have five to look forward to, including a trip to the fascinating Poli Grappa Museum, located in a wonderful 15-century palace in Bassano del Grappa, and the Andreola-Prosecco Valdobbiadene winery, where you'll sample some of the region's best Prosecco.

You'll have a lot of freedom to discover the area in your free time at your own pace, with car hire included throughout. On one day, you'll swap four wheels for two, and set off on an e-bike to meander through the sweeping vineyards of the 'Path of Prosecco'.

Before long you´ll be sitting back with a glass of chilled Prosecco in hand as you admire the endless beauty of the northern Italian countryside.

Departure dates from February - October 2024 are available, please call for details.
