Leave Venice for a full-day loop through jagged Dolomite peaks and the rolling, vineyard-stacked Prosecco Hills. This guided excursion pairs alpine photo stops and a lakeside lunch with a DOCG Prosecco tasting at a family winery.

A coach pulls away from Venice Piazzale Roma at first light and the lagoon blinks behind you. The road climbs into limestone spires that seem to rise like arguments from the earth; the Dolomites demand your attention with sheer faces and bright, chalky ridgelines that change color with the sun. Later the hills soften into rows of vines where Prosecco bubbles on the tongue and the landscape breathes a gentler rhythm.
