Memorable day in a beautiful country with a most gracious host
Elizabeth G, 13-09-2018
May seem strange to refer to our guide Marco as a host but that indeed reflects the intimacy of the experience. While obviously knowledgeable about wines he quickly read our group of 4's thirst about Italy in general and his commentary addressed a wider interest. We visited two vineyards. The first was a small producer in a beautiful location and the owner personally showed us the operation including peering into vats - something impossible in the states. Oh and the Prosecco was delicious at approximately $8 a bottle. We bought 6 bottles which never made it out of Italy. Lunch at a small restaurant in a lovely village was a highlight. The owner conversed with us for an extended period of time with Marco serving as translator. Wine, meats and pasta were all produced on site and were delicious. Expresso topped with grappa was very good and the Amaro the owner offered us at the end was smooth and not bitter. The second winery was a larger establishment but we still received the personalized attention of the owner and shipped a case home. While shipping is costly, the quality merits it if you like Prosecco. In between we visited a little restored mill with a water wheel that also sold a very tasty dessert wine unique to the town. We plan to serve it after our meal on Christmas Eve. All along the way the scenery of the Veneto area is stunning. Lastly, before the trip I thought the price was a little steep. After the trip and in comparison to other day trips we took, I consider it a very good value. Thank you Marco for a wonderful day.
Fun day in Prosecco

Marco made this day incredibly enjoyable. He was full of information, extremely knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. Marco went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and do whatever he could to make our day a pleasant experience. We had a wonderful day learning about how Prosecco is made in this region and highly recommend this tour.
Amazing Wine Tour of Prosecco Valley

Marco was an amazing tour guide of the region. We booked the tour in a group (I thought), but we ended up being the only two people on that particular day, so Marco drove us up for the hour and a half up to Prosecco region. On the way, we had an unexpected stop at a small cheese shop that Marco knew, which was an awesome surprise. The first winery we stopped at was fantastic. And, the stop for lunch was incredible. The osteria was closed for the day (because it was Monday) but we were welcomed with some really fantastic home-cooked pasta. And, the wine was the best bottle of wine I have ever tasted. They even gave us a red to try once we drank the white. We drove to the second winery, which was unfortunately closed, because it was the most beautiful spot - luckily, Marco was quick on his toes and we drove to the next one, with no issue.
Marco was knowledgable, kind, and a wonderful tour guide. This was one of the most memorable days of our two week trip.
The only recommendation I'd make is to go on a day Tuesday - Sunday if you want a more traditional tour. The Monday tour was so nice because it was very private, but if you're hoping to get the most out of the trip, you can likely see more going on a different day, but that is just my hunch.
Book this tour! It's amazing!

Lovely wine tour
Oxfordfl, 15-06-2018
We had a wonderful tour with Marco. The drive to the wineries was beautiful and the ride was comfortable. Marco educated us along the way about wine and Italian culture. We enjoyed prosecco from two different wineries, sampled delicious cheese from a cheese shop and had an outstanding lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a unique wine tour from Venice.
Wonderful trip with Marco

Marco picked us up opposite the Tronchetto People Mover station and we went to two Prosecco wineries. It was a wonderful experience and the drive through the hills was very enjoyable with wonderful views. It was a snowy day and the scenery of the vineyards covered in snow was very different from what one typically sees. Tastings at both wineries were excellent with a nice range of vintages. The restaurant we stopped at had great home made local Italian food with wine and Marco was an excellent and friendly guide.
Although I've given this five stars, there could have been better attention paid to the pickup location. It was a very cold and windy day, with freezing rain and sleet in Venice. We did not want to be late based on what was mentioned in the requirements so we ended up early and due to traffic and weather, Marco was a little late. We ended up waiting for about 45 minutes in an open bus shelter where it was extremely cold and windy with nothing around. The several requests made to the company for Marco's mobile number were not accommodated. Had we been given it, we could have informed him that we were waiting in a more comfortable place -- either the water bus stop or the parking garage where there is shelter, toilets and a cafe. I would highly recommend that a more comfortable pick up place be arranged,
Marco very kindly dropped us off at Piazzale San Roma so it was easier for us to get back to central Venice.
