Euganean Hills Olive Oil and Wine Tasting Tour from Venice

This half-day tour takes you from Venice to the Euganean Hills with everything organised: train tickets from Venice to Terme Euganee station are included, where our minivan meets you and brings you back at the end, with a friendly tour leader throughout.

The first stop is a family-run olive oil mill, where you explore the production area and taste the different extra virgin olive oils made there. A short drive then takes you to a family winery, where the owners tell you its story and lead a tasting of 4 of their wines with bread and grissini.

The volcanic soils and mild climate of the hills allow many grape varieties to grow: Serprino, the local “volcanic” version of Prosecco, Pinot Bianco, Garganega, Chardonnay and Manzoni Bianco among the whites, and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmènere among the reds. The Euganean Hills are a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and the small groups keep the atmosphere relaxed and personal.
