Highlights
- Trieste - Your guide will pick you up at the agreed starting point in Trieste, Italy - hotel, cruise terminal, bus station, train station etc. (please contact us after the booking so the appropriate arrangements can be made)
- Prosecco - Nearly everyone has tried Prosecco at some point, but very few have taken the opportunity to see the small village from which the legendary wine inherited its name. Although its finest forms are made in the vineyards of Veneto, this wine originates from the small town of Prosecco in Friuli Venezia Giulia, near the city of Trieste and the Slovenian border. The Glera grape is grown in the village of Prosecco, now a suburb of Trieste, which is where Prosecco was originally conceived. Join us on our tour and you will delve into the well-kept secret that is the beauty of the region. On the tour you will have the chance to discover this under-explored region, hear all about the history of Prosecco and appreciate the most historically significant vineyards, before visiting one exceptional winery to try some of the most renowned sparkling wine in all of Italy.

Great fantastic day - Going to the Farrari gardens and viewing the Karst region, stopping for a glass of Prosecco in the Prosecco region and a light lunch at the wine and prosciutto agri -restaurant, the guide collected us from our hotel on time, he was very informative

Not at all as described. A SCAM! - This trip is a nightmare and I am currently trying to get my money back because it was a scam but unfortunately Viator has a terrible refund system where you have to go through the company that provided the tour.
It says you will drink some of the best wine Italy has to offer and explore the prosecco region. We went to a community bar filled with old drunks at 10am and drank a glass of awful "prosecco" out of a soda gun, then wandered around empty villages in Slovenia for 4 hours before going to an awful winery in Slovenia where some cured pork and cheese was served. We asked to stop for food multiple times and were denied by our tour operator.
It was an awful trip and our tour guide spent most of the time trying to convince us to buy property in these empty villages in slovenia. The whole trip was a scam to get people to spend money in Slovenia. We never went to an Italian winery or vineyard.
