Escape the bustling canals of Venice and venture into the heart of the Euganean Hills Regional Park. This exquisite wine tour invites you to explore a unique landscape of volcanic origin, where hills rise dramatically from the Paduan plain to create an ideal microclimate for premium viticulture.
During this immersive experience, you will visit two renowned local wine cellars. Learn the secrets behind the region's diverse grape varieties, from the refreshing 'volcanic' Serprino—a local take on Prosecco—to elegant whites like Pinot Bianco and Garganega. Red wine lovers will delight in the depth of local Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the rare, spicy notes of Carmènere.
Your journey includes an insightful walk through lush vineyards and a private tour of the barrel cellars. You will be guided by passionate winemakers who will teach you the art of tasting, helping you identify the distinct mineral notes imparted by the volcanic soil. Between tastings, we will stop at a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint, perfect for capturing postcard-worthy photos of the rolling hills.
