Itinerary

Meet Your Private Driver in Venice & Scenic Drive to Veneto
Your day begins with a private pickup in Venice, where you’ll meet your English-speaking driver and leave the lagoon behind. As you head north into the Veneto countryside, the landscape gradually changes into gentle hills, vineyards, and charming rural villages—setting the tone for a relaxing and visually stunning day.

Follina Abbey – A Romanesque Jewel
Your first stop is the Abbey of Santa Maria di Follina, one of the most beautiful and peaceful religious sites in Veneto. Dating back to the 12th century, this former Cistercian abbey is famous for its elegant Romanesque-Gothic cloister, harmonious proportions, and spiritual atmosphere.
Strolling through the cloister, surrounded by stone columns and quiet gardens, offers a moment of calm and a glimpse into medieval monastic life.

Prosecco Winery Visit & Wine Tasting
Continue into the heart of the Prosecco hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where vine-covered slopes produce Italy’s most famous sparkling wine. Visit a carefully selected local Prosecco winery, where you’ll learn about the production methods, grape varieties (mainly Glera), and the differences between Prosecco DOC and DOCG. Enjoy a guided Prosecco wine tasting, sampling crisp, aromatic sparkling wines while overlooking the surrounding vineyards—an authentic and memorable sensory experience.

Castelbrando – Medieval Castle with Panoramic Views
Next, discover the impressive Castelbrando, one of the largest and oldest castles in Europe. Perched high above the valley, this fortified complex offers spectacular panoramic views over the Veneto plains and surrounding hills.
Walk through its historic courtyards and terraces, learn about its strategic importance over the centuries, and enjoy one of the most scenic viewpoints of the day—perfect for photos.

Lunch Stop in the Veneto Countryside
Stop for lunch at a local restaurant or trattoria, where you can savor traditional Veneto cuisine at a relaxed pace. From handmade pasta and seasonal vegetables to local cheeses and meat dishes, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the region’s culinary traditions.
Lunch is not included, giving you the flexibility to choose the style and atmosphere that best suits your tastes. Your driver will be happy to recommend excellent options.

Molinetto della Croda Water Mill – A Hidden Gem
On the return journey, stop at the Molinetto della Croda, a picturesque 17th-century stone water mill built directly into the rock. Surrounded by greenery and flowing water, this lesser-known site offers a charming and authentic glimpse into rural life in Veneto and is a favorite among photographers.

Return to Venice
After a full yet unhurried day of wine, history, and countryside beauty, relax during the scenic drive back to Venice, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or preferred location.
