The Veneto tour is one of our busiest tours. It’s not about the size of the Veneto region, which is quite large by the way, but in the diversity of this stunning place. Each day of the tour will be dedicated to a separate wine-making zone and the legendary wines produced in these territories. So, the day of Prosecco, the day of Amarone and the day of Franciacorta are waiting to give you tons of emotions.
Oh, stop, we’ve forgotten to mention a sea of cheeses, castles, lakes, delicious experiments, new acquaintances and lots of laughter.
Venice is not included in the tour, but you can easily order Venice sightseeing program from us. We will organize everything: a local guide, a program, restaurants and an excellent hotel in the most touristic city in Italy.
Departure from Venice (a program with departure from Verona can be considered).
