This private tour provides a rare opportunity to explore one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions in an unhurried, personalized setting. Over approximately two hours, you’ll experience a guided tasting of Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore, renowned for its quality and freshness. The setting is a family-owned winery, founded before the 1980s, with a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship overseen by the owner’s oenologist, Mr. Rebuli Mauro.

The Location: Panoramic Hills and UNESCO Heritage

The winery’s location offers sweeping views of the hills, which are a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. These landscapes are iconic, with terraced vineyards cascading down gentle slopes — perfect for photo ops. We loved the way the scenery adds a sense of place, making the tasting feel even more special.

The Winery’s Heritage and Vines

What’s impressive is the winery’s history. They grow their own grapes on 70 hectares of vineyards, ensuring quality control from vine to glass. The staff oversees every step of production, which means you’re tasting wines crafted with care and attention to detail. The owner’s hands-on approach and the expertise of the staff, especially the oenologist, shine through in the flavor profiles of the wines.

The Tasting Experience: Sparkling Wines & Food Pairings

Expect a guided tasting of several Prosecco Superiore wines, each with its own unique character. You’ll learn about the production process, what makes Valdobbiadene DOCG special, and how different styles of sparkling wine are created.

The wines are described as excellent — one reviewer called the wines “up to the excellent quality of the wines produced,” and praised the friendly, competent guide Vittorio. You’ll also have the chance to taste vegan and vegetarian sparkling wines, which is a thoughtful touch for those with specific dietary preferences.

Complementing the wines is a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, along with cicchetti — Italy’s beloved small bites. The food is crafted to match the wines’ profiles, highlighting regional flavors. The availability of vegetarian and vegan options demonstrates the tour’s adaptability, ensuring everyone can enjoy the pairing.

Authentic, Quality Food

The food is more than just an afterthought. It’s well-chosen, high-quality, and enhances the tasting experience rather than detracting from it. One reviewer mentioned the “excellent appetizers up to the quality of the wines”, emphasizing that this isn’t a quick snack but a thoughtfully curated offering.

Practical Details: Price, Duration, and Logistics

At around $60 per person, this tour offers a good value, especially considering its private nature and the insider access to a historic winery. The duration is about two hours — ample time to savor the wines, ask questions, and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed.

Meeting point is at Str. per Saccol, 23, in Valdobbiadene, easily accessible near public transportation options. Keep in mind, transportation to and from the winery isn’t included, so plan accordingly.

The timing is flexible, with tours operating from 4:00PM to 9:00PM Monday through Saturday, which is convenient if you’re sightseeing elsewhere earlier in the day.

Authentic Insights from Past Participants

Though only one review is available, it’s glowing: “Excellent wines, our host Vittorio was friendly, competent, professional… locations from 10 and praise, appetizers up to the excellent quality of the wines produced. To visit for strength and to return as soon as possible!” This highlights the knowledgeable guides and outstanding quality of both the wine and the experience.
