Key Information

Day 1

Head to the hills

Prosecco Hills, Italy. Photo: GettyImages-1477410817

Touch down in Venice airport, meet your host and transfer one hour north to the Agriturismo La Bella, nestled in the foothills of the idyllic Prosecco Hills. Despite being awarded UNESCO status in 2019, this area remains off the radar for many and is a world away from busy Venice, preserving a special and authentic rural charm. Relax into the serene surroundings before meeting up with your fellow adventurers and your guide for a chat about the next few days. Join your agriturismo's host and chef, Elisa, for a short stroll around the farm, before tucking into an organic farm-to-table dinner expertly cooked by her. Set in for a good night's sleep ahead of the explorations starting tomorrow.

Day 2

Hike terraced vineyards and taste the sparkling wine

Hiking

4hrs · 12km · 400m up · 400m down

Your first hike starts right from your doorstep, leading toward one of the most charming corners of the Prosecco Hills. Follow a gravel path that climbs to the top of San Gallo Hill, once the site of a medieval castle, then head deeper into the iconic terraced hills, with scenic views of green valleys dotted with little villages at your feet. You'll stop for lunch in a panoramic spot, where you'll meet a renowned local wine producer who will guide you through the history and the wine-growing traditions of this rich landscape. Enjoy a delicious light lunch paired with some of the best Prosecco varieties of the area, before heading back to your agriturismo in the afternoon. Tonight you may join your guide and group for another great dinner experience in a local restaurant in the nearby village of Follina.

Day 3

Bike rolling hills, lakes and quaint hamlets

Cycling the Prosecco Hills, Italy. Photo: Supplier/Italy Cycling Tours

E-bike

4hrs · 40km · 450m up · 450m down

Hang up your boots this morning, as you'll leave the agriturismo on the saddle of your e-bike instead, biking quiet back roads to the ancient mill of Molinetto della Croda, a lovely example of 16th-century rustic architecture hidden away in an idyllic spot. From here, tackle a 2-mile steep climb to the enchanting hilltop hamlet of Rolle, but thanks to your e-bike the ascent will feel smooth and manageable! Pedal along, surrounded by lush hills that open up to breathtaking panoramic views, before freewheeling down to the shores of Revine Lake for a picnic, a well-earned rest and a cool swim (optional; in season). Continue via the charming villages of Cison di Valmarino and Follina and finish with an exciting ride up and down the winding roads of Combai, before returning to your agriturismo in the afternoon. Tonight, you may choose to refuel with some well-deserved pizza and an Aperol spritz with your group!

Day 4

Into the heart of the Prosecco Hills

Hiking

4hrs · 10km · 400m up · 400m down

Fuel up on breakfast then take a short morning transfer to the small village of Santo Stefano, an important local wine-making center. Next, set off on foot climbing to the village hillside which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, venturing deeper through lines of endless vineyards and soaking up the stunning views of the Piave River and Montello Hill on one side, Valdobbiadene and the rising Prealps on the other. Stop for refreshments at Osteria Senz’Oste – a restored three-story farmhouse, built at the end of the nineteenth century, which offers arguably the most stunning view over the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. For lunch, you'll be welcomed by Pietrovecchio Winery, where you'll enjoy an indulgent wine-tasting session before being transferred back to your hotel.

Day 5

High views and meadows of the Prealps

Hiking

4hrs · 10km · 500m up · 500m down

On your final day, you'll enjoy a change of scenery as you head high above the Prosecco Hills, hitting some stunning trails in the Prealps up the slopes of Mount Cesen (4,593 ft). Hike through mountain pastures and meadows, with incredible views that on a clear day stretch as far as the eastern Alps, Dolomites, and Venice. Tonight, you'll toast to the end of your epic adventure with more bubbles, and savor some traditional Venetian dishes in a renowned historic restaurant in the area. Cheers!

Day 6

To Venice

After breakfast, you'll transfer back to the airport in time for your flight home. If you don't feel like leaving just yet you may choose to extend your trip with a few days in the floating city of Venice, the perfect end to a memorable Italian adventure!

What is the food like?

The food will undoubtedly be a highlight of your trip, and during the week you'll have the chance to try some well-known as well as unfamiliar gastronomic delights of the Prosecco region. Mealtimes are not only about nourishment, but also an opportunity to learn about the culture of the area, and to enjoy each other's company. The Agriturismo La Bella celebrates local, organic produce with almost 100% of their ingredients coming from their own farm. Homemade cakes, bread, and fruit jellies, as well as freshly squeezed juices, are always part of the morning breakfast buffet; for those who prefer a savory start to the day, free-range eggs from the farm's hens are available. On your first night you'll also have the opportunity to taste Elisa's amazing cooking, with a special farm-to-table dinner experience, all based around seasonal ingredients. Lunches throughout the trip will consist of picnics or light meals, with a great variety of local ingredients including cheese, cured meats and fresh vegetables. On your final evening you'll have a special farewell dinner included at a renowned local restaurant in the area, while for the remainder of the evenings your guide will recommend a variety of great local restaurants near your accommodation. This ensures your money is spent locally and benefits the local community. Of course, Prosecco will be plentiful throughout your stay, with some tastings included as well as a visit to a local winery, where you'll have the chance to learn about the wine-making process and sample different local varieties of fizz.

Vegetarians, vegans and other dietary requirements and allergies can be catered for – please just request this on your passenger info form.

What is the accommodation like?

Agriturismo La Bella

Your base for the whole trip is a locally-run agriturismo, an authentic farmstay nestled in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills region, near the village of Follina. It offers authentic Italian hospitality against a backdrop of lush green agricultural landscapes. Your host Elisa runs the country house and the adjacent organic farm, from which she sources the ingredients for your delicious daily breakfasts and organic farm-to-table experience on your first evening. You'll stay in beautifully restored twin-share rooms which come with en suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and free WiFi. The property also offers a downstairs seating area as well as a beautiful patio, the perfect spots for socializing or relaxing.

Upgrades

For solo travellers looking for their own space, a private room can be booked for an extra charge – see Optional Extras for the price. Please request this at the time of booking (this is subject to availability).

This trip has been rated as Easy

Anyone in good health, with average fitness levels and able to hike for a few hours each day will be fine on this trip. The elevation gain is easy to moderate, up to 1,640 ft up and down each day, with some short, steep ascents and undulating routes which will get the heart pumping at times. However, the going is leisurely with plenty of stops to enjoy the views. The terrain and path type will vary from paved tracks to forest trails and dirt roads. The trip also includes a scenic ride on e-bikes – bicycles with battery-powered assistance that comes via pedaling. The route will include some steep uphill sections, winding roads and easy gravel paths, but your e-bike will give you an extra push if you struggle with the climbs so you should find it easier than expected! No previous experience is needed, but you must feel comfortable on two wheels.

Please note that heatwaves and heavy rains are possible (especially during the summer months of Jul-Aug) so the overall weather conditions may increase the intensity of the trip. If you don't exercise regularly or you don't have much experience with hiking, please consider factoring in some training beforehand to make the experience more enjoyable.

What will I need to carry?

You'll need to have a larger bag suitable for all your belongings which will remain at the agriturismo and then a small daypack to carry personal items during each day of hiking.

During springtime between April and May, the Prosecco Hills region usually enjoys mild temperatures averaging 64-73°F, although nights are always a bit cooler. The summer months tend to be hot and humid, with temperatures in July-August going up to 86-95°F. Although hiking will feel a bit more challenging due to the sun, this is when the landscape is the greenest and lushest, with vines in full bloom just before their September harvest. In October, temperatures are still very pleasant for walking, with trees starting to dress with spectacular colors from dark green to yellow. In summary, every season is great to visit the Prosecco Hills, with the only exception of winter when harsh freezing temperatures make hiking less favorable and the landscape quite bare.

Rain is possible at any time of year and climate change has made seasons a little more unpredictable than usual. Occasionally, summer storms with heavy rain and strong winds can occur. Take layered clothing to adjust to the changing temperatures and something warm for the cooler evenings if traveling in spring and fall.

What can I say? Vania, we love you. This trip was a joy from beginning to end because of Vania, as well as all the staff at the accommodation. The people on the trip also made it really special. It's by far the best activity company I've traveled with. The itinerary, transfers, meals and the whole experience is exemplary. Thank you for making my holiday one to remember :)

This is a wonderful trip around the Prosecco Hills. The guide, Vania, is amazing at her job and really helped make this a holiday to remember. The hikes and bike ride allow you to explore a part of Italy that not many tourists see, whilst giving you great scenery to look at, and plenty of local wines to sample. The food is also fantastic. A note on the difficulty rating – the trip is all completed at a relaxed pace, with the hikes and bike ride all taken nice and steady, and with plenty of breaks along the way. But. . . . you are in the hills, so be prepared for lots of ups and downs!

I’m skeptical by nature, so was totally prepared to discover that this company had over promised. Sure, the ads look amazing and the concept of a small group of impressive and interesting people sounded pretty compelling. Add in a potentially heady mixture of Prosecco and hiking breathtakingly beautiful trails, and you definitely have my attention. Anyhow, I’m happy to say that MBA delivered. I am addicted.

Incredible experience, hiking and biking through the Prosecco Hills, Dolomites and Pre-Alps. Vania is an expert guide, coach and cheerleader through all of the challenges and more. Delightful beauty everywhere. Great lodging, food, wines (especially the many types of Prosecco) and our hiking group came together in a very special way. Alchemy at its best. Thank you.

Don’t hesitate just book, you will have an amazing time. DOCG forever…. . booked my fourth MBA adventure!

Prosecco, hiking and biking

Wonderful trip, far better than expected! Vania, our guide who was exceptional, the hiking was classed as easy but we would say it was more moderate as some of the hills were quite steep. A very good trip all round.

Claire J.(November 2024)
Great experience!

It was exactly as we expected. Great food, great wine and great experience! If you like food, presecco and the outdoors this is definitely for you! This was our first group trip and we wanted to be eased in gently to the experience.

Logistics - This is a great one to try as a first. The walks are in the presecco hills so guess what?...there are hills! The guide is given plenty of time to get round the route but, because our group was quite fast we found ourselves hanging around for transport sometimes -which is fine. Good footwear is needed (I thought this is obvious) but reading the other reviews it would seem some are caught of guard with this. Take an extra base layer/jacket for when you go higher up or if the weather turns. Plenty of opportunities for water refills, toilet breaks, cheese eating etc on route. Really good mix of exercise versus eating and drinking.

Guide - marta was fabulous she adjusted to the groups abilities instantly, knew her routes, the itinerary and arranged meals with us outside of the "organised ones" taking us to some fabulous eateries. Couldn't have had a better guide.

Accomodation-lovely small boutique style hotel with a personable touch and home cooked food. If you want a drink on an evening you have to try and get someone to open up the bar and they have their own presecco which tastes great! Staff are super friendly but English is limited they do all they can to help.

Scenery, food and drink- Just fabulous. You're never going to see or taste anything like it and there is plenty of it!! Loved the e-bikes what a fab day out.

Transfers/transport - little bit of a negative here. We were checked out at 7am due to us all having to be taken to the airport at the same time with the first flight dept. (This is stated somewhere I read it after the holiday)

Also, there was another trip (not with us) who we ended up sharing the bus and eateries with most times and also working around them for transport pick ups etc this did disgruntle us a bit due to them being somewhat rowdy. We were there for the whole experience they were there for the drink. The two groups shouldn't really have been mixed at all (I'm my opinion).

Duration - perfect time spent. We went to Venice for 2 days after to make it 7 days and Marta kindly provided us with more valuable info for that too!

Judy S.(November 2024)

Amazing trip in the beautiful Prosecco hills!

What can I say? Everything about this trip was brilliant, our fantastic guide Vania, the food, the wine, the agriturismo, the hikes and the bikes. The walks were challenging but manageable and the views were worth the effort. My first experience of a group trip like this and thanks to a lovely bunch of fellow travellers it won’t be the last.

Fab trip to Prosecco Hills

Had a fabulous experience in the Prosecco hills. My first time doing something like this so wasn't sure what to expect but it was really great. The guide, Vania, was amazing - very engaged, thoughtful, patient and fun. We were lucky to have a great group of fellow adventurers also. The agriturismo was very nice, Elisa and the staff were wonderful. The activities were a comfortable challenge, just enough for you to feel you deserved the delicious food and wine. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the break. Vania was an excellent guide, looking out for all of the group, all of the time. Great group, some gorgeous food and wines. A fab way to spend a few days away in a beautiful setting. Walks and ride exactly as described, though maybe far more of a challenge in hot weather.

Elizabeth M.(October 2024)
Flawless Trip!

As a solo traveler who usually finds planned group activities to be something to avoid, I was thrilled to discover my reluctance was all for nothing! This was a phenomenal adventure from start to finish, with a perfect balance of activity (some of it challenging but only in a push-yourself way, not a give-up-now way), insight into the culture of the area, lovely group dynamics, and of course, ample delicious food and Prosecco. The tour guide, Vania, is an absolute delight and stellar at making sure everyone has what they need, at all times. If you're on the fence about this one, hop down and book it!

What a brilliant trip! Vania, our guide, was amazing from the very start, well organised, informative, and fun! The Agriturismo was lovely, the rooms were clean and tidy with everything you could need, and Elisa was a joy to be around. The hiking was fantastic. The hills were challenging, but the hikes themselves were not too long, and we took a lot of quick rest breaks. The views made the hard work well worth it, and the wine tasting and meals en route were fantastic. The bike ride was a highlight, ebikes made the tough hills easy so you could enjoy the views. Meals in the evenings were great, the food was brilliant every night. Our group was fun and friendly and we enjoyed spending time sipping Elisa's prosecco in the afternoons before dinner. I had an amazing time, made new friends, saw breath taking views, enjoyed some challenging climbs and got to cuddle some farm kittens too! Highly recommend!

Kevin O.(October 2024)
Absolutely Fabulous Experience

What a fabulous holiday! The first time on an organised group tour for us and not sure what to expect but there was nothing to worry about! The whole holiday from start to finish was absolutely fantastic: our amazing guide, Marta, so knowledgeable and great fun; fabulous accommodation; a great group to spend time with; amazing local food; and, of course, plenty of Prosecco – definitely the star of the show! The walking was great with fantastic views, challenging at times, but nothing that a reasonable level of fitness couldn’t manage. The bike ride was another highlight of the adventure, a great experience, fantastic scenery and all guided by Alessandro. We, highly recommend this holiday. Kevin & Amanda

Amy G.(October 2024)

7 of my friends and I embarked on our journey through the Prosecco hills. Everything was on point from the views, the stops, the food and the accommodation. But more than that our guide Vania was absolutely brilliant. She jumped on board with our dress ups, singing and all the other craziness and really made our trip one we’ll never forget. I would definitely recommend much better adventures and will most certainly use them again!

Mrs B.(October 2024)
Amazing experiance

The trip was what it promised and more. a lot harder than expected as the hills are really steep - both up and down, taking their toll but the views made up for it. Vania was the absolute best guide ever, she made sure we were safe and sound wherever we were but also joined in on our private groups activities and fitted right in with us.

This was my favourite trip ever. The agritourismo was just fabulous as was Eliza and the team. Our guide Marta was absolutely brilliant and so very knowledgeable and knew the area well. Right in the heart of the Prosecco Hills in beautiful surroundings. The hikes were spectacular but not for unseasoned walkers. While it is classed as easy, this is for people who hike with a good level of fitness. The views at the top were amazing and rewarded by delicious meats and local cheese and of course Prosecco. The e bikes were absolutely brilliant fun and allesandro, our cycle guide was very attentive and explained everything. There was a perfect mix between activity and down time so there was enough time to relax after the hikes and cycling. We had a great group, very friendly and fun. I would highly recommend this trip, it was incredible value for money and brilliant fun.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre program, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.

What's the number?
It works out on average at 164kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.

But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:

  • Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
  • A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
  • 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.

What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.

Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.

Marta Marinelli, raised in Italy’s serene Prosecco Hills, dreamt of global adventures, inspired by her father's travel stories. Her passion evolved into a career, backed by a decade of studies including degrees in international tourism and destination management. She’s worked in the adventure travel sector since 2012, living in Italy, the UK, and now sunny Portugal.

Over twenty years, Marta has explored over 55 countries, visiting remote areas like Ghana, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Haiti and Nepal’s Upper Mustang region. As a Senior Adventure Expansion Manager at Much Better Adventures, she focuses on creating life-changing experiences, ranging from multi-activity adventures, challenging treks to ultimate adventures in iconic places. She loves the challenge of finding the best local adventure hosts around the world, collaborating on adventures that offer genuine immersion, pushing beyond the beaten path and working on exclusive itineraries that challenge your comfort zone.

What makes her tick? Enabling people to live adventure-rich lives while positively impacting and empowering local communities around the world, generating sustainable opportunities for both the host, guides, community, and the environment.

The tap water is safe to drink. Please bring your own reusable water bottle to fill up at the agriturismo or public fountains to avoid buying single-use plastic bottles.

If bad weather affects any of the activities your local guide will deviate to a more sheltered part of the hills for alternative hikes, or may decide to swap around the order of the program.

On this trip you'll be guided by a fully qualified local guide, Vania. Having grown up in the region, her knowledge and passion for the area, the local culture and cuisine is outstanding – so you'll be up for a true local immersion and experience.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.

Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers review the practical information available on the UK Government’s FCDO website, where you can find up-to-date advice by searching for your destination(s).

If you are based in the United States, you can also check the latest travel advisories from the U.S. Department of State.

For customers joining from other international locations, we recommend checking the official travel advice issued by your country of residence, as guidance may vary.

We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates daily, so prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. You must be over 18 to join one of our trips.

You're always in good company on one of our adventures.

Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.

Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.

It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.

Don't just take our word for it:

  • 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5/5
  • 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends
  • 75% of people have met people on our trips that they would now consider friends
