Euganean Hills: day trip from Venice among history, nature & wine

A day of nature, history, and fine wine awaits! Just under an hour from Venice, in Padua's Euganean Hills you'll discover a treasure trove of natural beauty, history, and culinary delights, perfect for relaxation. Starting from Venice's Piazzale Roma, your private excursion includes an English-speaking chauffeur who will accompany you throughout the day. Your journey into the Euganean Hills begins with a visit to Valsanzibio, a monumental complex where nature and architecture blend seamlessly. Explore the complex's gardens at your own pace, with approximately 1 hour to soak in this enchanting setting. Afterward, ascend the hills for a wine tasting at a local winery, guided by an expert who will introduce you to the region's unique wines. Following the tasting, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor the area's culinary specialties (lunch cost not included). In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the beauty of Arquà Petrarca, one of the Italian Peninsula’s most enchanting medieval villages. Stroll its winding streets with no rush, feeling its magical atmosphere and perhaps indulging in some local shopping at artisanal shops. After your visit to Arquà Petrarca, reunite with your driver for your return to Venice, with an expected arrival at Piazzale Roma around 5:30 PM.
