Experience the authentic taste of Italy with our exclusive wine and olive oil tour in the stunning Euganean Hills. Known for their unique volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate, these rolling hills produce some of the finest vintages and golden oils in the Veneto region. This immersive journey offers a deep dive into the local agricultural traditions that have defined this landscape for centuries.
Your adventure begins with a visit to a traditional olive oil mill. Here, you will witness the fascinating art of olive extraction, learning how local producers transform raw olives into liquid gold. You will then enjoy a guided tasting session, where you'll discover the distinct, peppery notes of regional olive oil paired with fresh local bread.
Next, we venture to one of the area’s premier wineries. The volcanic soil of the Euganean Hills provides the perfect terroir for an incredible variety of grapes. You will sample refreshing whites like the 'volcanic' Serprino—a local biotype of the Glera grape—alongside refined Pinot Bianco, Garganega, and Chardonnay. For red wine lovers, the selection includes robust Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmènere. As you stroll through the sun-drenched vineyards and explore the historic cellars, our expert guides and local winemakers will share the secrets of their craft and the history of their estates.
