Escape Venice into the rolling UNESCO-listed Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills for a private guided drive through ancient Prosecco estates, cellar tours, and vineyard lunches poured straight from the source. This is Italian la dolce vita at its most authentic.
What to expect
A private air-conditioned vehicle collects you at the terminal and ascends into the Valdobbiadene hills, where the vine-draped terraces are so steep they are worked by hand. A family-run producer opens their cantina exclusively for your group — oak-barrel ageing rooms, riddling racks, the cellar cool against the summer heat — before you sit down to a tasting of five or six cuvées alongside local charcuterie and cheese. Lunch at a hilltop agriturismo follows, with panoramic views across the Dolomite foothills. You are back at the terminal well before all-aboard.
Good to know
Book via discoveryguidedtours.com specifying your all-aboard time; they specialise in cruise-timed itineraries and monitor ship schedules. The round trip is approximately 2 hrs driving total; allow 5–6 hours door-to-door. Flat, comfortable shoes recommended for cellar floors.
