Tour in the Prosecco Hills Tour from Padua
Description
This tour through the hills of Valdobbiadene and the Prosecco DOCG will take you to the upper Treviso area, just over an hour's drive from Venice, along the natural amphitheater that opens up between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. A unique scenario that has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019. The tour includes a visit to enchanting places such as the Molinetto della Croda and the Cistercian Abbey of Santa Maria di Follina, two of the most evocative corners of the Treviso area. For lunch we will visit a family-run winery for a wine tasting paired with typical local products: an obligatory stop to learn about the production methods and taste the excellence of the area. Finally we will make a stop in a second cellar to end the day by toasting with a glass of the prestigious Cartizze, one of the most renowned types of Prosecco.

Itinerary
An old water mill dating back to the 16th century. The building was erected in several stages, and the foundations of the original building rest on the bare rock, called 'croda' (literally 'cliff').
Follina, a small town at the foot of the Treviso-Bellunesi Prealps, is a focal point of the religious tourism circuit which leads to the discovery of places rich in spirituality and devotion and of great artistic value.
First we visit a Prosecco winery with a guided tour where you will see and understand all the various processes involved in the production of Prosecco. Then a wine tasting with several glasses of Prosecco Superiore DOCG awaits you.
The northern part of the Treviso area enchants us with its hills with thick rows of vines, imposing castles and enchanting parish churches. The Prosecco Road runs through the hilly strip at the foot of the Treviso Pre-Alps. For more than 100 years Prosecco has reigned supreme, that unique sparkling wine that is both pleasant and easy to drink.

Nico was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable of the area! I highly recommend Nico!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope to see you again soon for more tours together.
Very nice tour in the UNESCO World Heritage landscape with impressions of the villages and nature and of course two very good Prosecco tastings. The great guide Nico, who explained everything very vividly and understandably.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to hear that you found our product and our guide to be of such a high standard. We take pride in showing our region to people who, like you, are keen to discover the traditions, customs and way of life of our country. We hope to see you again soon for more tours together.
Nico was fabulous. The area was beautiful. The Processco tastings were wonderful. New education on the area.
Thank you, Gail, for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you’ll cherish this experience of discovering one of the most important and famous products of our region. We look forward to seeing you again soon, and thank you so much for placing your trust in us.
As a lover of Prosecco I could not miss this excursion! The minivan tour among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites was already spectacular in itself! Each stage was carefully studied and accompanied by interesting explanations that made the experience even more engaging. The presence of our super Nicola escort was fundamental: attentive, passionately prepared, able to create a pleasant atmosphere, take care of every detail and make everyone feel comfortable during the entire experience. The first tasting allowed us to get to know the quality and tradition of Prosecco up close, but the highlight was undoubtedly the second tasting dedicated to Cartizze, rightly defined the elite of Prosecco: an elegant, refined wine, which tells the territory in every sip! Vote 10!

Hi Federica, thank you so much for your kind words. We're happy to hear you enjoyed both tours. Thank you for your trust, and see you next time.
An unforgettable experience in the beautiful hills of Prosecco! We were enchanted, relaxed and authentic atmosphere, perfect to discover the true heart of Veneto!
Ciao Corinna e grazie mille per la tua recensione. Siamo felici di sapere che l'esperienza sia stata all'altezza delle vostre aspettative e speriamo di riavervi con noi in futuro.
Our guide Chiara was fantastic. The historic sites we saw were enchanting. The tastings of Prosecco were delicious and we learned a lot about the process of making it. Countryside we traveled through was beautiful. We highly recommend this informative and fun tour!
Thank you so much, it was a pleasure to spend the day with you! Hope to see you again in Padova.
If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. The Prosecco region is stunning. And the wines are the best I’ve ever tasted. Our guide, Chiara, was a gem. So knowledgable. So concerned about making this the best possible experience for her guests - plus she’s just interesting and funny! I have been to many vineyards in Italy and these 2 were just spectacular. The Abby and the mill were incredibly lovely. Book this tour you will not regret it!
Thank you so much for the beautiful words, it was very nice for me to chat with you and show you around :)
We chose to celebrate my birthday with a day in the Prosecco region, led by Chiara. During the trip, we were fascinated by the breathtaking views we saw from the window, accompanied by its detailed explanations and many interesting ideas. Chiara took us on two historic stages: a striking abbey and a waterfall with a mill, both immersed in scenarios of extraordinary beauty. Next, we stopped at two carefully selected wineries. The first stop was Vigne Matte, where we took part in a guided tour and delighted ourselves with a rich buffet of cold cuts, cheeses and bread, followed by a Prosecco tasting. The second winery, Cartizze PDC, offered us a completely different experience. More intimate and authentic, it is renowned for producing one of the best Proseccos in the world, which we enjoyed while admiring a simply incredible panoramic view. Chiara, with her competence, friendliness and attention, turned this day into a very special experience.
Grazie mille, è con piacere che stato un piacere aiutarvi a celebrare un compleanno con le dovute bollicine :)
The transport was super precise and pleasant. The landscape is very suggestive, the tasting excellent both for wines and food, with typical products of the area. We visited two wineries, the owners were super welcoming and involved us a lot with their stories. Recommended!!
Grazie mille, è stato un piacere!
