Escape the city for a day of sensory indulgence in the heart of the Veneto region. Our exclusive tour from Padua takes you deep into the Euganean Hills, a unique landscape shaped by ancient volcanic activity, renowned for producing exceptional wines and exquisite olive oils.
Your journey begins with an immersive experience at a traditional olive oil mill. Here, you will discover the secrets behind the liquid gold of the region. Local producers will guide you through the production process, from harvest to cold pressing, culminating in an expert-led tasting session that will teach you how to identify the subtle, peppery notes of authentic extra virgin olive oil.
Next, we venture to one of the area's most prestigious wineries. The volcanic soil and mild climate of the Euganean Hills provide the perfect terroir for a diverse range of vines. You will have the opportunity to sample a variety of local gems, including the 'volcanic' Serprino—a vibrant biotype of the Glera grape—alongside refined Pinot Bianco, Garganega, and bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. As you stroll through the sun-drenched vineyards and explore the historic cellars, you will learn the fascinating stories behind each bottle directly from the winemakers themselves.
This 5-hour experience is more than just a tasting; it is a deep dive into the agricultural heritage of Italy. We pair every wine with delicious local products, allowing you to experience the perfect marriage of flavors that define this region. Whether you are a seasoned sommelier or a casual wine enthusiast, the combination of breathtaking scenery, expert knowledge, and authentic hospitality makes this tour an unforgettable highlight of your trip to Italy.
