From Venice: Private Dolomites and Prosecco Hills with Wine


About This Experience
Two very different halves of the Veneto in one private day: the high Dolomites in the morning, the Prosecco hills on the way home. Because the vehicle is private, the group is yours alone and the pace is negotiable with the driver rather than fixed by a timetable.
The route climbs from Venice past Lake Santa Croce and Pieve di Cadore to Lake Auronzo, then to Lake Misurina — the 'Pearl of the Dolomites' — for an hour beneath the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Cortina d'Ampezzo follows, with 75 minutes over lunch.
The descent takes the Prosecco road through Vittorio Veneto into the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene hills, the DOCG zone, finishing with a tasting of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore before the run back to Venice.
The listed price is for the whole group, not per person, which changes the arithmetic considerably for four or more travelling together.

Once in a lifetime trip. Marco was very accommodating to what we liked. We really had no idea what to visit but expressed our interests and he provided excellent choices. He grew up in the area and provided local flare. He knew all the perfect scenery and picture locations. Bravo Marco!

Went on tour with Marco. Originally we had Dolomites tour with Prosecco tasting, but it quickly changed to mountain and lake tour (we are more in hiking than wine) with Marco showing us the best places and views on dirt roads only locals would know. Had an absolute blast!! Also, Marco is free solo rock climber so it gives extra context for each place. Now I have full phone and memory of the most beautiful mountain places. BUT. If you want to go on easy tour with other ideas to do in area, Marco will take care of it. So, at the end, no money wasted. On the contrary - it gave me one more place to go back when the time is right.

It was a fantastic day in the Dolomites. Our guide Simone made sure everything went smoothly and that we all had fun. Would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price per person or for the whole group?
For the whole group. This is a private charter, so the fare covers the vehicle and driver-guide rather than a seat. Split between four or more people it comes much closer to the per-person cost of a small-group tour, while keeping the van and the day's pace entirely to yourselves.
What does the Prosecco tasting involve?
A tasting of Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene hills, the zone that produces the highest classification of Prosecco, on the way back to Venice. The itinerary allows about forty minutes at Valdobbiadene after a scenic drive through Vittorio Veneto.
Where does the private tour meet?
At Piazzale Roma in Venice, at the corner in front of the public toilets and the restaurant 'Trattoria al Vinatier'. Your guide holds a sign with your name on it. You are returned to the same point at the end of the day.
How much of the day is in the mountains?
Most of it. The itinerary gives an hour at Lake Misurina, 75 minutes in Cortina d'Ampezzo, and photo stops at Lake Santa Croce, Pieve di Cadore and Lake Auronzo, before turning towards the Prosecco hills in the late afternoon. The wine tasting is the closing act rather than the centre of the day.
Is lunch included?
No — food and extra drinks are excluded. The schedule places the lunch break within the 75-minute Cortina d'Ampezzo stop, so you eat there at your own cost. The Prosecco tasting itself is included in the fare.
