4 Wine Tours in Venice Worth Booking

1.Venice Sunset Cruise by Typical Venetian Boat with Prosecco

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 505 reviews · 1 hour 45 minutes (approx.) · from $114Our pick

Meet your skipper at Ospedale and cruise Venice’s open lagoon aboard a handcrafted sampierotta or bragozzo. Guides such as Leonardo and Tommaso share local stories as you pass St. Mark’s Basin, Lido, San Giorgio Maggiore, San Lazzaro, and more. The small group, usually no more than 11 people, pauses for prosecco and sunset views.

“Prosecco was unlimited but the tour itself was shorter than expected (originally it had said 2 hours, but the total trip was less than that) and we did not watch the sunset on the water (we docked right before). However, it was still a nice way to see Venice and learn about its history, and our skipper Leo was very nice and knowledgeable.”

3.Prosecco Hills and Wine Tasting Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 357 reviews · from $153

Leave Venice with an English-speaking guide such as Georgia, Vanessa, Francesca, or Sebastian for a six-hour visit to two Prosecco wineries. Taste six wines, learn the Charmat method, enjoy local cheese and salami, and see the UNESCO-listed hills around Valdobbiadene and Conegliano in a group of no more than eight.

“Georgia was an amazing guide, she shared so much knowledge of the region and of the processes for winemaking. She was very welcoming and made us feel like we were basically a part of her family. The wineries we went to were were fantastic and the staff there that showed us around the winery were amazing and very knowledgeable. We learned a whole lot about Prosecco. The pouring was generous and the food provided was very delicious. I enjoyed having a small group, while I often tend towards private tours, the people we met on the tour were just like us and were very nice people and I was happy…”
