A grand day out - What can you say or how do you start a review for an amazing day out like this, we were picked up at the Bus station side of the Constitution bridge at 08:15 by our tour guide his English was good thankfully because my Italian is not good at all, he explained how our day would go and made a 1 1/2 hour drive to the mountains pass by really quickly telling us about the history of the area of Venice and how Prosecco came to be, our 1st stop took us to the highest point of the vineyards the view over the valley was lovely and while we sat and took it all in our guide brought us a small bottle of home made original Prosecco and we sat and drank it surround by the vines that had produced it....class😊
The second stop was to the Prosecco producers of Varaschin who were really friendly and accommodating we spent a little longer there as we had a lot of questions and they were happy to answer them even showing us the secret cave where the VIP members meet and initiate new members I even got to see the glass they have to drink out of.
We then had Prosecco tasting with a nice selection of home made meats and cheese's which included a sample of their prize winning entry from last year's London exhibition.
We had such a nice time there they gave us 2 of their Prosecco glasses free of charge..I mean...wow..! Don't expect that if you go though I think we were very lucky to have received them and are extremely grateful for their generosity that afternoon.
Lunch then at a local trout farm 🚜 where everything on the menu was grown there the food and wine were top notch and after meeting the chef we had a tour of the farm it was really good and picturesque.
A quick look round the main village was then our next stop, but by then my 63 year old legs were getting tired so I declined the walk and settled for a slow drive to the memorial area of the town.
I fell asleep on the drive back it had been such a busy day but I loved every minute of it and will be bringing my friends over next year because you have just got to see this at least once in your lifetime. Twice would be better though it's a lot to take in 😁
Also on this tour all our drinks and food were included so no expensive extras to pay for making it good value for money.
Would I recommend this tour...?
Absolutely you need a full day if you're going to do something like this and along with our guide who worked really hard to inform and entertain us you will get all that you need from this experience 😉
A++ and thank you for a really great day.

Fantastic way to spend a day in Prosecco country - Highly recommend this trip! Julia was an excellent guide, so knowledgeable about the area and its history and so very gracious. Scenery is indescribable and the wineries we visited so unique. Excellent Prosecco and excellent day from start to finish.

Amazing day out with great guides! - I booked this tour as a surprise for my friend during our week's stay in the Veneto. We were picked up in Treviso and we were kept informed about traffic delays from Venice. The whole day was great - very chilled and at the pace of the group (max 8), if we wanted to linger somewhere we lingered! The tour gave an opportunity to see the beautiful countryside as well as to learn a lot from the informative and very friendly guides. The Prosecco tasting at a producer felt very personal and most definitely not hard-sell with a lovely sommelier. There is food with the tasting and then a lovely lunch at an excellent place full of locals. We felt the cost of the tour represented real value for money for a full and most enjoyable day. Thank you Giacomo and Giulia! I hope to have another day out with you when back in the area.

A prosecco experience! - What a day in Valdobiadene! Guilia was an amazing guide. She and Giacomo made a great team from taking us to the first cantina, to a nice lunch, and a tour around a quaint Italian town in the hills. The cost seemed steep until we saw it includes a full lunch with wine too!

Amazing Day Out - Chose this trip after reading the reviews left previously
It certainly didn't disappoint
There were eight of us in an air conditioned minibus with two wonderful guides - Jacamo and Julia
Both spoke brilliant English and we thoroughly loved the tasting - the spectacular views - the food at the Taverna - couldn't have asked for more

Fantastic views and great Prosecco tasting - We had a great day visiting vineyard and a small village outside Venice. The Prosecco tasting was great and very professional. The lunch was delicious and the village super charming. Our guides Julia and Giacomo were a great team and made the trip an enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

Beautiful scenery and great wine and meal - The vineyards were gorgeous! Would highly recommend this tour. Our guides were very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our tour was in English. We were picked up and dropped off in Venice - make sure to specify correct pickup location when you select your time. There was a lot of driving but worth the view and experience. Some of the roads were very narrow so wouldn’t recommend driving yourself. The lunch provided was in a small local restaurant with multiple courses. Great quality food and lots of wine. This is a full day excursion. We left Venice at 8:15 and I think we got back around 4 or 5

A must do if you enjoy Prosecco - Excellent day trip with wonderful host Julia. Learning lots about Prosecco as well as local history. Wonderful scenery looking out over the hills and valleys with vineyards. Prosecco tasting with accompanying local cheese and meats from a very informative and friendly sommelier. It’s an informal and relaxing day. Well worth doing this trip to see more of Veneto.

Amazing solo travel experience and super friendly guides - This tour group is absolutely amazing. Julia and the driver are both super friendly and super informative guides. They allowed us to take every part of this tour at the speed we wanted to take- we took a long time at the lunch spot as a group because the entire group had such a good time chatting and laughing during lunch.
I was nervous to do this small group tour as a solo traveler. I was worried about it being me and a bunch of couples and feeling awkward the whole time. This couldn't have been farther from the case. As a group we joked and laughed the whole time, with people we just met, it was amazing! Even if it had been all couples and the group wasn't talkative with each other, the 2 tour guides that run this are excellent and I would've had a lovely time just talking to them as well.
The guides are great company and amazing at what they do. So incredibly friendly and happy to make this tour the best it can be for you. If you are traveling alone or with a group, I would 100% recommend taking a trip with Beescover. I will be traveling with them again
