My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our Prosecco Region - small group, 6 hour tour, departing from Venice. The lovely Francesca is the warm and friendly guide who hosts this particular excursion. Her passion and pride in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region is most impressive, as well as her knowledge and history of the area. To begin with, my sister and I traveled to Venice for a week-long stay. What was supposed to be a weeks long journey with our families in 2020, was reduced down to the two of us in 2021. I knew that I wanted to end this particular trip with a day of relaxation and enjoyment, so I purposely chose this tour for our very last day, and allow me to state that it very much exceeded both of our expectations. Francesca provides her clients a drive in style in her very clean and comfortable passenger van. As we drove out of Venice, she began the tour by getting to know each and every one of her guests, likewise, brilliantly allowing each of of us to get to know the other members of the tour. Along the way, Francesca did a magnificent job of informing us in regards to details about the region, as well as details. pertaining to the creation of Prosecco. The first winery stop had us greeted by the enthusiastic head chef of the winery/B&B, who was quick to impart his knowledge and encouraged us to walk along the vineyard. Afterwards we were invited to a prosecco tasting, which also featured a simple, yet masterful, luncheon of local products. As the afternoon progressed, Francesca guided us to a second winery, which featured a completely different perspective of the creation of prosecco. At the second winery, we were greeted by the delightful winery owner, who presented a tour showcasing the fermenting, bottling, and distribution processes involved in creating this beverage for consumption. The host then invited us to savor the second wine tasting of the day. On the day of our tour, my sister and I were joined by two charming young ladies from Denmark. As Francesca announced that we would soon have to leave this breathtakingly beautiful region in order to head back to Venice, we were all remorseful as our glorious day of sightseeing, camaraderie, eating and drinking prosecco had to come to its unfortunate end. Remember, if you take this tour, you will never be pressured to purchase any bottles of prosecco; however, if you'd like to take a bottle or two home, just ask, and you will be able to make a purchase to carry home or to drink in your hotel room. Additionally, the cost of this most enchanting excursion is extremely reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. In closing, this tour was the perfect ending to a perfect trip to Venice! Brava, Francesca - grazie bene!
