The Itinerary Breakdown
Starting Point: Piazzale Roma in Venice or the Port
The tour begins with a convenient pick-up in Venice’s Piazzale Roma or at the port, with a privately chauffeured luxury Mercedes. This choice of transport isn’t just about comfort — it signals a small-group, personalized experience. After a drive of about 1 hour and 10 minutes, you’ll arrive in the heart of the Prosecco-producing region, Valdobbiadene.
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Store & First Winery Visit
The first stop is the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Store, a hub for exploring the region’s sparkling wines. While the tour doesn’t specify what happens here, it’s likely a good introduction to the region’s wine culture. Then, you’ll visit the Guia winery, a family-run operation. Here, the real magic happens — walking through the vineyards and the cellar, learning about traditional winemaking methods, and tasting different Prosecco Superiore DOCG types.
The reviews highlight this part as a highlight: “The wines are higher quality and limited in production,” one traveler noted, emphasizing the rarity and craft that go into each bottle. Visiting a family-run winery adds authenticity, allowing you to understand the passion and dedication that big commercial producers can’t match.
Free Time in Valdobbiadene
After the winery visit, you’ll have about an hour to explore or relax in the charming town of Valdobbiadene. This free time is perfect for wandering through quaint streets, stopping for a coffee, or grabbing a snack — without the pressure of a guided tour. Since it’s unhosted, you’re free to soak in the atmosphere at your own pace.
The Lunch Experience
The tour promises a delicious typical Italian lunch, though details aren’t specified. Expect regional dishes that pair well with sparkling wine — think antipasti, pasta, or local specialties. This is a great way to balance the wine tastings with hearty flavors that showcase local ingredients.
Return Journey
The return trip takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes, providing a comfortable window to relax and reflect on what you’ve tasted and seen. By arriving back in Venice’s Piazzale Roma or the port, your day wraps up neatly, leaving you with memories of stunning vistas and fine wines.
The sole review available is enthusiastic: “Spectacular time on the prosecco hills. The views are amazing and the two wineries we visited were excellent. These wines are not what we drink on North America, but rather they are of higher quality and limited production.” This highlights an important point — the wines you’ll taste are boutique, high-quality Prosecco, rarely available in regular markets outside Italy.

It’s ideal for couples or small groups wanting a comprehensive, luxe experience without the crowds.
Transportation: Travel in a luxury Mercedes vehicle adds comfort and style, making the journey part of the experience rather than just transit. The drive is scenic, with views that justify the time spent.
