We picked up a rental car in Venice at Piazzale Roma (Which is where the vaporetto's stop for you to take the bus to Marco Polo airport).
We headed for the Strada del Prosecco (Prosecco Road) a wine region specializing (but not limited) in exactly that! We were astonished at the ease of accessibility. It was an easy 1.5 hour drive partly on a freeway - with tolls, partly on beautiful small country roads to get to this UNESCO World Heritage site. Scattered along this 47 km route, you will find wineries from humble one room tasting facilities to large modern tasting rooms with 360 deg views over lush vineyards. You will pass some of the most beautiful valleys & steepest hills covered in vineyards facing every direction.
The midday day, 12 noon to 2.00pm siesta - where wineries and some restaurants close need to be considered when planning your trip. Thankfully we found a restaurant in the town of Guia called Ristoro Fontanazza that was open and served a delicious lunch. I will write a separate review, as this one deserves special mention!
Back to the wineries - we did not taste only Prosecco, but also fabulous whites & reds. In fact every wine we tasted was of an incredibly high standard. In addition to the exceptional wine, the service we received was 5 star. We understood & could speak limited Italian, so was so appreciative of every one along the way speaking to us in English.
You will not be disappointed! Saluti!
