Ricardo was fabulous! Extremely knowledgeable and very attentive. The Prosecco region is breathtaking and we learned so much about the making of Prosecco. Highly recommend this tour.

A very exklusive and highly interesting tour with wonderful prosecco CODG. Riccardo was a great tour guide who we absolutely highly reccomend Thank you for a great tour Riccardo!
We had a great experience with Riccardo as our tour guide. He made the trip quite enjoyable. Very knowledgeable about the area. We had a lot of laughs with Claudia and Riccardo. Would recommend this tour.
Riccardo has a passion for wine that shines through. His knowledge of the area was appreciated and we really enjoyed our time at the family winery.
This Prosecco tour exceeded all expectations. It was authentic, intimate, and thoughtfully curated, with outstanding attention to detail throughout the day. Riccardo was excellent, guiding us with warmth and deep knowledge of the region. Lunch was superb — fresh, local, and beautifully prepared. A truly memorable experience.
This was a great wine tour. Riccardo was very knowledgeable. He took us to a beautiful family run vineyard. The wine was excellent. The family was very welcoming. It was obvious that they really cared about the quality of wine produced. A perfect half day experience!
Amazing wine tour, very intimate/small group. The wines were delicious and reasonably priced! Our tour guide was very responsive and provided an amazing experience. Food was delicious as well, gave us an authentic experience.
We had an amazing tour with Riccardo! We loved seeing the beautiful Prosecco Hills and visiting the boutique winery! The prosecco & food were absolutely delicious and we learned so much about the vineyards & prosecco! Would highly recommend this tour! Thank you!!
There was 6 of us travelling, including a 2 year old toddler and Riccardo picked us up in a minibus with a child seat. He was very knowledgeable. Beautiful scenic drive to the vineyard with a photo stop (worth stopping!) and then Laura at the DOCG region did a fantastic job making us feel welcome and teaching us about Prosecco with such passion. They were accommodating to our baby with a high chair and the food was more of a grazing board but delicious! They provided plenty of extra breadsticks and the Prosecco was amazing! They took photos for us and were very friendly. Thank you.
There are not enough words to describe what an amazing tour this was! My girlfriends and I booked this on a whim and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire experience. The 3 of us have been on countless winery tours but this one by far was the best and where we learned the most. A large part of what we learned not only came from the winery, but also Riccardo who plays a large role in the tour/tasting. He is full of surprises and a vast knowledge of Prosecco country. We can’t wait to do this tour again and we are adding his Amarone tour to our list. Not only was the Prosecco amazing but the whole experience from start to finish was bravissimo!! Grazie Riccardo…we can’t wait for our next tour!! Kristina. Amy & Tracy
My sister and I agree this was the highlight of our trip! Every aspect of the tour was well planned by our expert guide -Riccardo Rossano-took special care in explaining the area, giving his own personal connections and interesting life journey, and took us to the most amazing winery - Pietrovecchio, where Laura was an amazing host. The timing of the trip worked out perfectly for our day in Venice. The scenery along the drive was wonderful, and the drive was just the right amount of time- I can't say enough great things about this whole experience, and look forward to another journey in the same place in the future.
Great day out. We had a total of 4 on our tour. Was a perfect experience and was the perfect duration
We had a great time! Riccardo was a great guide and the experience at the winery was lots of fun and very interesting.
Selecting a tour while on holiday can feel overwhelming given the sheer number of options—so I won’t gatekeep this one. When planning our time in Venice, Riccardo ended up being the only tour operator available on a Sunday, which was invaluable given our limited schedule. Even better, he was incredibly responsive via TripAdvisor messaging and WhatsApp, quickly accommodating my request to be waitlisted for a morning tour. Meeting up was a bit tricky at first—the designated spot was in a very busy section of the bus station and not immediately obvious among the larger tour buses. That said, a quick WhatsApp call sorted everything out, and we connected without any further issues. A nice bonus: we, along with another twosome, were the first guests to ride in Riccardo’s brand-new 6-seater vehicle. It made for a very comfortable one-hour journey into the Prosecco Hills. The scenery alone made the experience worthwhile. The vineyard-covered hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene—part of a UNESCO-listed region—are absolutely stunning. We stopped at a hilltop viewpoint to take photos and simply take it all in, which was a real highlight. The tasting at Pietrovecchio Vineyard with Laura, the young owner, was another standout moment. She was passionate, engaging, and clearly proud of their DOCG heritage. The Prosecco itself was excellent, and the thoughtfully paired local cheeses and cured meats elevated the experience without making it feel overly indulgent. Overall, This tour struck the perfect balance between enjoyment, relaxation, and education—thanks to Riccardo’s sommelier expertise and Laura’s lifelong dedication to her craft. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Venice area—it’s a beautiful and refreshing escape from the city, offering a deeper appreciation of the region beyond its canals.
Might be the best tour and tour guide I’ve ever had. And the winery and winery owner was fantastic!! Ricardo, our guide was an absolute pleasure and the nicest and most knowledgeable guide you can imagine. Can’t say enough about this trip. 10/10.
Ricardo was an amazing guide. Friendly knowledgeable and funny The tour with him was filled with information about the area and wines
Riccardo made our Prosecco experience absolutely perfect! We have been on so many wine tours and this was one of our all time favorites. He was so thoughtful and very helpful from the pick up arrangement to the drop off. He was extremely knowledgeable about wine and the Prosecco region (he is an actual sommelier) and was excellent at explaining all of the details, while also keeping our tour light and super enjoyable. He took us to a private family owned Prosecco tasting where we really got to know what Prosecco is all about. At the end we asked him if he would mind changing the drop off plan to the nearby outlet mall and he was happy to be flexible with our plan. Riccardo could not have made the day more enjoyable and you will be missing out if you don’t give this one a try!!
This experience was excellent! It is the best tour our family has ever been on, hands-down! Our guide, Riccardo, was exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I loved that he reached out a few weeks prior to the tour to provide us with all of the details. He was prompt and organized! Pickup was very easy and the meeting spot was easily found. Laura, the vineyard owner, was wonderful! She was very engaging and provided an extremely entertaining tour. We learned so much about how Prosecco is made and about the region! The Prosecco we tasted was delicious beyond words. Laura also served us a tasty lunch in a gorgeous setting. We honestly don’t know how we will ever top this tour! We highly, highly recommend it! From start to finish it was the best day of our vacation. We will never forget it!
Fantastic day! The prosecco region is absolutely beautiful and Ricardo was a wonderful guide. We learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves. This is a great way to spend some time while in Venice.
We had an amazing experience with Ricardo on this trip! He picked us up in Venice and transported us to the Prosecco region with lots of stories and information along the way. Had a wonderful time at the winery and Laura was a great host and explained their processes and history, with lovely food and Prosecco tasting! Of course we decided to buy some DOCG Prosecco to ship home and it arrived with a week of our visit. Great experience which is continuing at home, thank you.
This was a lovely tour. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ricardo, our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. The Vinyard owner was a great hostess and very gracious.
This was the highlight of our two week trip to Italy! Ricardo did a fantastic job at making the experience feel special, from sharing the history and significance of the Prosecco Hills during our ride there to his expert sommelier insights as we did the prosecco tasting. We did this tour in November and it was chilly but we spent most of the time in the winery with a beautiful view of the hills. And of course, the prosecco was to die for! We enjoyed multiple glasses with local meats & cheeses. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and Ricardo, he made it such a memorable experience for us!
This might be the best experience ive had in Italy period. Riccardo was an amazing guide and went above and beyond. The food was great, the prosecco was great and the views were breathtaking. Definitely recommend
Great day! Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable! Learned so much driving to and from. Winery was family run food was tasty.
Myself and my wife Donna do a lot of Traveling . Riccardo, our tour director really made this experience stand out as one of our top 2% of all the tours/excursions ever taken. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative about every aspect of Prosecco, the region, and the process of making it. And last but not least, was Laura. Laura walked us through her family owned winery explaining in great detail, the process of producing different Proseccos pairing them along with some great food. We highly recommend this as a must do eventful 1/2 day tour. And the rest of our family felt the same way.
We joined the Prosecco tour today with Ricardo, and it was wonderful! He made the experience so special — sharing stories, history, and local knowledge about the Prosecco region and the wineries we visited. Ricardo was professional, kind, and fun to be around. Highly recommended!
This was such a great tour! We were already Prosecco lovers, but now we are ‘educated’ Prosecco lovers…. as we learned so much about the process, the grapes, the region and the differences in the many varieties during the tour. We appreciated the expertise of Ricardo, our driver/guide, who is also a Sommelier; and then Laura our host at her family’s winery, her knowledge and hospitality were tops, working together as a team they made it fun, informative and relaxing. Ricardo was an excellent driver and shared interesting history and info about the region during the drive to and from Venice. Ricardo was also very accommodating for our last minute booking, and communicated all the details perfectly. Our initial tour with another tour operator fell through due to logistics and availability the day before, that company graciously referred us to Ricardo who reached out to me immediately and even though he was already booked for the day he worked it out for us to join, and we’re so glad he/we did! Bottom line it was fun, informative, and the right amount of time. The Prosecco and snacks were delicious. We hope to go back to Prosecco Hills - Thank you Ricardo and Laura!
Ricardo was such a great tour guide! He was very punctual on pickup, and was very knowledgeable on all things wine. We had the perfect day for wine tasting, and we learned so much about prosecco. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Riccardo our tour guy was amazing. He gave us so much information about the region and Prosecco. He was kind and patient and stopped along the way so we could take pictures of the area. I would highly recommend this tour.
What an amazing tour; absolutely the highlight of our Venice visit! Riccardo was the best guide … he shared his sommelier expertise in an engaging and informative way. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience! Laura was the perfect host; we appreciate the boss taking time from her day to showcase the winery and to share with us a delicious lunch and wine tasting. This tour was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Venice! Bravissimo!
Ricarrdo was a fantastic guide , we traveled out of Venice to the Pietrovecchio vineyard . There was one other couple in our group and Riccardo was skilled at putting g everyone at ease and encouraging conversation. He was extremely knowledgeable about wine and Prosecco and we found him really interesting . The Prosecco tour was so interesting and thanks to Laura was extremely engaging about the family run business . There is a great deal of love and passion that went into the tour . The food , quality of Prosecco, and surroundings were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed this day trip .There scenery of the area is beautiful and despite the rainy day we had a great time .We have left with lots more knowledge of the Prosecco production and both the ancestral method as well as more modern production . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip with Riccardo who will ensure you enjoy a memorable day in the Italian hills , with great food , Prosecco , and ensuring you learn about Prosecco , what more could you want !
A wonderful experience with Ricardo as our guide. We left on time in the van with Ricardo sharing his vast knowledge of Italy and wine. We had a lovely tout, prosecco wine tasting, and light meal at the Pietrovecchio winery high in the hills. The winery’ host, Laura, was charming and interesting. Highly recommended.
This was the most amazing wine tour! The views were breathtaking, and the wine knowledge—woven together with heartfelt family stories—made the experience so special. We had the best time and would happily do it all over again just to come back! Huge thanks to Riccardo and Meme for making this such a truly memorable experience.
The tour was excellent from start to finish! Van ride was very comfortable and Riccardo shared interesting facts on the way to the winery and took us to a scenic lookout point to take pictures. The Prosecco Hills were beautiful and Laura at the winery was so knowledgeable, generous, and fun! The prosecco was truly top notch and so glad we were able to get a case shipped home. Definitely a unique and memorable excursion - very highly recommend!!
Best experience you’ll have. Our host and transport were incredible. We learned a lot about the region and the Prosecco was top shelf. Our hostess had appetizers to go with every tasting. It was truly the best day we had in Italy.
It was an amazing and interesting tour. Ricardo was very fun and friendly. Laura at the winery was very welcoming. We learned a lot about making Prosecco and even had some delicious wine shipped home. Thanks for a wonderful day!
A wonderful experience, go ahead and book this you won’t be disappointed. Riccardo picked us up promptly, was very friendly and knowledgeable about Prosecco in fact is a sommelier. The countryside around the vineyards are beautiful, we stopped off to take photos. When we arrived at the vineyard we were greeted the lovely owner Laura. Together with Riccardo she gave us a very informative talk on making Prosecco . Best part we got to taste all their different varieties of Prosecco with freshly prepared snacks. We got some of their high quality Prosecco sent home and we are still enjoying it. Thank you 😊
This was by far our favorite activity that we did during our 3 weeks in Italy! Our guide was Riccardo. He contacted me ahead of time to confirm our pickup spot. We had great conversation throughout the day. He was so informative - we learned so much! We absolutely loved the vineyard we toured too! Laura was the winemaker that gave us the tour and explained all the different varieties of prosecco they make. The food that she provided with the tasting was incredible!! I don't think we have ever had so much food at a wine tasting. We absolutely adored Laura - she was so sweet and beautiful! We probably could have stayed there all day - lol! The entire area was gorgeous - just picture perfect. Riccardo does a variety of different tours. We will definitely reach out to him to book something for our next trip to Italy. Although - I would tour the same vineyard again in a heartbeat - we are halfway through the 4 cases of prosecco we purchased already ;)
This was the perfect day! Riccardo was an excellent guide who shared history and stories on the drive (his English is great). He took us to a stunning winery with the most gorgeous views, delicious prosecco, and gracious hostess (daughter of the owner). We learned about the process and tasted the different varieties with a sampling of local foods. I could not recommend this more! Fabulous!
Do not miss, highlight of our trip! Our guide Riccardo, a certified sommelier, was extremely knowledgeable about the region and wine. Laura at the vineyard provided an excellent explanation of their product and delicious and ample charcuterie in an air conditioned glass room overlooking the vineyard. We bought two cases which were on our doorstep when we returned home. Lovely people and experience!
Fantastic experience with Riccardo! His expansive knowledge of wines and the area were quite impressive. Super punctual, friendly & great communications. Wonderful day at Pietrovecchio Winery for some amazing prosecco and incredible views of the foothills. Must try this excursion when you visit Venice.
Great experience from the moment of booking. Riccardo reached out to confirm my booking and provided detailed instructions on where to meet. He kindly accommodated a change in my reservation. The vehicle he drove to accommodate six of us was spacious and comfortable. Riccardo provided interesting information about the areas we passed on our way to Valdobbiadenne. He took interest in getting to know us. Before we arrived at the winery, we stopped off at a wonderful overlook that was both relaxing and a nice opportunity for photos of the valley. The winery, Pietrovecchio, was excellent. Informative and warm tour by Laura. Tasting was delicious and informative. Enough food for all six of us. We could not have asked for a better tour. Bravo.
**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Prosecco Experience – A Must-Do from Venice!** We had the most amazing time on the **Prosecco Wine Tour** – it was the perfect half-day escape from Venice! From start to finish, the tour was impeccably organized, offering stunning vineyard views, delicious wine and food tastings, and fascinating insights into the Prosecco-making process. Our guide Riccardo was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the region, making the experience both educational and incredibly enjoyable. The wineries we visited were charming, and the Prosecco itself was, of course, absolutely amazing! We loved sampling different varieties and learning what makes this region so special. The convenience of being picked up and dropped off in Venice was a huge plus, and the small group size made it feel personal and relaxed. It’s the ideal way to experience Italy’s famous sparkling wine without the hassle of planning transportation. If you’re looking for a scenic, delicious, and well-paced tour while visiting Venice, this is the one to book. We can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be back on our next trip! Thank you, Riccardo and Laura for an unforgettable experience!🥂
From the moment we met our tour guide , Riccardo , we knew it was going to be an unforgettable day. Riccardo was prompt , knowledgeable and passionate sharing the history of Prosecco and many interesting facts. When we arrived at Pietrovecchio Vineyards we were greeted by Laura , she was kind , knowledgeable and engaging. She shared with us the history of her family’s vineyard. Nestled in a picturesque landscape of rolling hills, the setting is worth the visit. But of course it was the incredible prosecco that brought us there. The tasting was generous and truly delicious, perfectly curated with local cheeses and charcuterie. Every pour was exceptional. This tour is an absolute must for Prosecco lovers , but it was the warmth of Laura and Riccardo that made this day unforgettable. We left with a couple cases and the very best memories.
We absolutely loved everything about this tour - Riccardo was a tremendous guide - extemely knowledgeable, so friendly and thoughtful - we learned so much! And we loved Laura and her family's vineyard - it was simply gorgeous. We plan on coming back and staying there :-) It was a wonderful trip out of Venice, seemingly another world yet still close and easy enough to do in a half day (though next time we will plan even more time with Riccardo). We could not recommend it more. Book it, you won't regret it!
Ricardo is absolutely amazing! How do I give this more stars. We were unsure about booking this because we had our 7 and 10 year old daughters with us. However they are very naturey kids and loved being in the hills and trying to spot and catch lizards. I feel blessed to have been able to learned about the history and enjoy true DOCG Prosecco. Also love that Ricardo only goes to family vineyards and not commercial. I beyond recommend this and hope to be back one day to actually stay in the hills.
This is a "must-do" tour. Riccardo was awesome, very knowledgeable, helpful and a delight. This was a small group of 6 people, perfect. Pietrovecchio is a superb winery, the tasting was delicious and fun. I not only ordered Prosecco to be shipped home, but am planning on re-ordering.
Ricardo and Laura provided a fantastic and educational experience for us. It was a perfect day. Not only did we learn a lot about prosecco, Ricardo taught us a lot about the locals and the customs. Laura provided a wonderful lunch.
This tour was one of the highlights of our time in Italy! Riccardo was an amazing and knowledgeable guide on both the history of the area and wine! The Prosecco, food, and views were exceptional at the winery with Laura leading us through the guided tour once we arrived. Both Ricardo and Laura made the entire tour excetional! We would definitely recommend this tour!
Details about the process & differences in how real Prosecco is made. The tastings were generous and ample good was served w the wine. Our host was very knowledgeable as well.
