Itinerary

Uncover the beauty of the Prosecco Region on our full-day wine tour, where you'll explore one of Italy's most famous wine areas known for its pristine nature, historic villas, and exceptional sparkling wines.

Prosecco wines stand out as Italy's favorite sparklers, distinct from Champagne due to their unique grape varieties and the use of the Charmat method in winemaking.

Few are aware that the Prosecco vine was already recognized in the Veneto region around 1750, with its origins in Monteberico on the Colli Berici, near Vicenza, rather than in the more renowned Valdobbiadene and Treviso provinces.

Our outdoor excursion will lead us to the picturesque Colli Berici Region, just a 45-minute drive from Verona.

Our journey begins at an acclaimed winery known for its organic Prosecco extra dry rosè, offering a serene setting amidst vineyards and a charming 16th-century estate.

Experience the unique Charmat method used in crafting their Prosecco, resulting in a vibrant perlage and a pure expression of 100% Prosecco grapes.

Indulge in a delightful lunch overlooking the vineyards, featuring local delicacies such as fragrant extra virgin olive oil, regional cheeses, and seasonal delights. a main dish will be served, too!

We'll learn and try the difference between Prosecco method and Classic method (the Champenoise method).

The key factor lies in the use of a secondary fermentation process.

Instead of moving the wine into the ageing step of the process, somebody using the classic method place their blended wine in bottles with a touch of yeast and some extra sugar. The bottle is sealed with a temporary plug & stored horizontally in a wine cellar. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation. Only this time, the temporary plug prevents the carbon dioxide the process creates from being released. Those gases stay in the wine, resulting in the creation of the bubbles that Champagne is so famous for.

All this facts and much more will be explained and comment and experience during our wine trip.
