Top Venice Wine Tasting Tours - page 4

We had an absolutely wonderful Prosecco vineyard tour with Ricardo! From the very beginning, he was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly kind. What made the experience especially memorable was how genuinely interested he was in getting to know us and hearing about our lives. It felt personal and authentic rather than simply a guided tour. The hosts from both vineyards we visited were incredibly welcoming and gracious. The Prosecco tastings were generous, the food was plentiful and delicious, and we never felt rushed. There was such a warm, family-like atmosphere at each stop—we truly felt like welcomed guests rather than tourists. At our first vineyard, we were treated to a delicious spread of breads, meats and cheeses, including homemade pickled zucchini that was absolutely out of this world. We’re still talking about it! We also had the pleasure of meeting the two resident dogs and donkeys. Uma, one of the dogs, clearly considered herself the official leader of our tour and happily showed us around! We also met Iggy a very sweet dog - named after Iggy Pop - which was such a fun and memorable touch. The second vineyard was equally wonderful and welcomed us with another amazing spread of homemade meats, local cheeses and breads topped with fresh tomatoes and artichokes. Everything was fresh, delicious and generously served alongside the Prosecco. The hospitality at both vineyards was remarkable. The entire day felt less like a typical tour and more like being welcomed into someone’s home. Ricardo truly made the experience. His knowledge, warmth, kindness and attention to detail made the day relaxed, personal and incredibly enjoyable. He even picked fresh figs at one of the vineyards for me to taste after learning my grandmother once owned a fig farm in Cosenza, Calabria. This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Venice. If you are looking for an authentic Prosecco vineyard experience filled with wonderful wine, incredible food, beautiful surroundings and genuinely warm people, we cannot recommend this tour—and especially Ricardo—highly enough!
