Wine tastings
Wine tastings are not included. We do this because it’s a better experience for you. You can choose how many wines to taste at each winery (3-7 glasses), and whether to include food pairings. It also means each person in your group can have exactly what they want.
Estimate your wine tasting costs: Tastings are between €15 and €30. Our customers pay an average of €25 per winery. This typically includes a full tasting (7 glasses) or a smaller tasting paired with delicious local foods like cheese, cured meats and homemade bread. You can select your wine and food choices at each winery to suit your personal preference. Some wineries offer reduced rates for our customers. We always pass these savings on to you.
Which wineries? We mostly visit small, family-run wineries that produce premium Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. where you will get a private tasting hosted by an English speaking guide from the winery. However, if you would like to visit other Prosecco D.O.C. wineries, please let your driver know.
If a private tasting is not possible (last minute bookings over peak season), we will take you to good quality wineries that have as few groups as possible.
Personalise it: Got a winery in mind? Let your driver know and they will try to add it to your itinerary.
Walk in the vineyards – we always try to include this but it may not be possible in peak season/during harvest. Tip: bring flat shoes. Sandals are fine.
What is Italy’s Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG region? Italy’s sparkling wine is classified based on its production area and method. The Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG region is a small part of the wider wine growing area and is famous for its premium or ‘superiore‘ quality wine.
Lunch
Time for lunch is not included in this tour. Please enjoy lunch before/after your tour or your driver may be able to recommend a place to eat near your meeting point. Food pairings including cheese, cured meats and homemade bread are available at some wineries. Leave a note on your booking if you want to include this.
