Prosecco Hills Tours from Venice
The Prosecco Hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene are an hour north of Venice, a UNESCO landscape of steep vineyards and small cellars where the DOCG Prosecco Superiore and the Cartizze cru are made, and a day there is the easiest wine trip from the lagoon. Compare the top-rated tours below, then read our notes on the wine and the day.
Prosecco Hills tours from Venice
Tastings in Valdobbiadene
Formats: small-group day trips from Venice with two wineries and lunch; tours by train and minivan; Prosecco with Asolo or Treviso; e-bike tastings in the hills; Cartizze tastings for self-drivers.
What you taste: Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG in brut, extra dry and dry, the Rive single-village wines, Cartizze, and often a col fondo, the cloudy traditional style, with local cheese and salumi.
Price and time: 100 to 220 dollars for five to seven hours from Venice; 45 to 90 for a tasting in the hills.
The wine
Prosecco is made from the Glera grape and gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in tank, which keeps it fresh and fruity and cheap to make. The hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a DOCG since 2009 across fifteen villages and a UNESCO World Heritage landscape since 2019, are the historic heart and make the best of it: Prosecco Superiore, the Rive from single steep slopes, and Cartizze, about a hundred hectares above Valdobbiadene that make the region’s grand cru. The flat plains around make the ordinary DOC that fills the supermarket.
The day
From Venice it is 50 to 70 kilometres, about an hour by road. Guided days collect you at Piazzale Roma or a hotel, or meet you off the train at Conegliano, and visit two family wineries with cellar tours and tastings, with lunch in the vines or in Valdobbiadene, and often a stop in Asolo, the hill town, or on the Strada del Prosecco for the view. Five to seven hours. E-bike versions climb between cellars. Self-drivers can book a Cartizze tasting at a producer for the price of a bottle.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Prosecco Hills tour worth it from Venice?
Yes: an hour away, beautiful, and the wine is far better than the Prosecco most people know.
Can I go by train?
To Conegliano in 40 to 60 minutes; some tours meet you there and handle the hills, which have no useful public transport.
When is the best time?
April to October; harvest is September, and the hills are at their best in late spring and early autumn.
