Fun Trip To Proseccoville - Paolo did a great job. It was very easy to find him and he told us a lot about Prosecco along the way. The Prosecco and snacks were very good.

Best experience - From the beginning to the end, it was the most amazing time. Paolo started the ride with printing off recommendations for anything you might be interested in. During the ride up, he shared information on prosecco. When we got there, we met Matteo, the owner and he was amazing. He showed us around and we sampled the best prosecco we have ever had. Followed by a delicious meal, the whole experience was amazing. Definitely would recommend

The perfect get away - This tour is fantastic! Paolo entertained us with his knowledge of wines during the drive up there and we were met by the owner of the winery for a short tour. Then we were served excellent Prosecco together with very tasty food. Relaxed, enjoyable and educational.

Amazing trip to Prosecco region - We had the most amazing time on this tour. It was a private tour and Paolo was so fantastic. He was clear with the pickup spot and offered so much information on the drive. He is very knowledgeable. The winery was also fantastic. Fourth generation owned and the Prosecco was delicious. So much so that my friend and I both shipped bottles home. It was raining (can’t control the weather!) and Paolo was so kind and was on hand at all times with an umbrella for us. The snacks were plentiful and quite yummy. Additionally Paolo took pictures of us on the tour and sent them after the fact which was great so we could focus on the tour. He also provided a very detailed list of his recommendations of spots in Venice and we ate at one of the restaurants on our last night and were not disappointed. Just an overall 10/10 experience. Thanks again Paolo!

Would do again - Paolo was so informative and very gracious. I traveled with my daughter studying abroad to see the country. He was a great tour guide and the vineyard was beautiful. The pairings of Prosecco with the lunch was excellent.

A wine tour with a difference! - We had the best experience on this tour! It began when our guide Paulo picked us up from the station & drove us up to the hills educating us about the region along the way.
Emanuele & Patrizia, the fourth generation owners of the vineyard welcomed us with the history of the family & fed us with local cheese, home made salami’s & of course the bread! I can not recommend this tour enough, our host Paulo was excellent… don’t hesitate to find him when you book your tour, Peter & Margaret

Prosecco in the rain! - Paolo was fantastic. He contacted us the night before the tour to confirm the meeting point. I did the tour with a friend - there was also another couple so an intimate group of four. The winery was fabulous. The host Flávio from Le Volpere was very knowledgeable and we got to taste five wines with a platter. I now know & understand why the Prosecco I have tasted in Australia has not been great - because it is not DOCG!! I will be looking for it on the labels on my return. It was pouring with rain and we did not get to explore the vineyard as would normally happen but it did not dampen the experience! Thank you Paolo for a wonderful experience.
