Hike, E-Bike and Wine in Italy's Prosecco Hills

Fantastic, well organised trip. Vania our guide was amazing, would highly recommend this trip

This was my first trip with MBA but definitely not my last! I booked this trip solo and had a fantastic time with a lovely group and Vania, who was our wonderful guide. The activities were fun and well-paced, in beautiful surroundings. Vania was very professional and gave a thorough briefing each evening so we knew what to expect the following day. There are a few steep ascents but plenty of rest time to recoup and continue. If you are a frequent walker, you will be fine. My favourite activity was the hike on the last day - gorgeous views! - closely followed by the biking. The farmhouse where we stayed was run by the lovely Elisa. The restaurant had fresh, delicious food and the showers in the rooms were excellent. This was my seventh time visiting Italy and it was so nice to feel like a local, having an authentic experience of life in a beautiful region. Vania made sure we all had a lot of fun and my group were all lovely, kind people. If you're thinking of booking, go for it.

This trip is amazing! I’ve always wanted to hike and sip wine in the Italian countryside and this was it! Vania was a fantastic guide and made us feel like we could conquer anything. The agriturismo, La Bella, was a great location and Elisa prepared delicious dishes. I met a great group of people and they helped make it a once in a lifetime experience.

The P4’s loved this trip! The farmhouse was amazing with great food and service. Vania was incredible, she made the trip fun for everyone and kept everyone together!

What a brilliant week we've had, enjoyed every part of it; walking, cycling and the prosecco/wine tasting. Stunning scenery and some fabulous restaurants. Vania our guide made the trip, meticulous organisation but relaxed all the same, a great group, lots of laughs. I'd highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely amazing holiday from the second I was warmly welcomed by Vania at Marco Polo Airport. Everything throughout the trip was seamless. This was absolutely down to the AMAZING Vania. All of our transfers were in immaculate mini buses driven by competent professional drivers. The Agriturismo was stunning. Beautiful setting, beautiful rooms and our host Eliza was more than superb. She was a generous host plus an incredible chef. What a treat. Also a huge thank you to her staff who were always so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast each morning was plentiful, eggs (cooked to order), coffee (made to order), cheeses/meats sliced freshly for you, pies, sweet treats, jams, fruit, juices. The walks/hikes were described each evening in the briefing including a weather report. Vania made sure the whole group were well informed about the following days itinerary. Each day we walked/hiked. The scenery and walks were incredible down to the expertise of Vania who was local to the area which massively showed. The E biking day was my favourite day. Andrea was our cycling expert and he absolutely ensured each member of the group was confident before set off for what was a truly memorable day. We cycled on different terrain through vineyards and beautiful villages. Plus a dip in a lake. The Prosecco tastings were particularly enjoyable. Each vineyard we visited was stunning. Beautiful plates of food to accompany the Prosecco was a real treat. Long lunches in the October sunshine. Vania suggested restaurants for the 3 evenings that weren't included. WOW she chose well! Thank you Vania all the food was delicious and authentic. The whole trip was faultless and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a wonderful group. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the stunning Prosecco hills, enjoy Prosecco of course, there was plentiful Prosecco and experience the expertise of Vania. THANK YOU VANIA from the bottom of my heart you made my trip MEMORABLE.

The MBA site describes this as the 'ultimate foodie adventure' and this could not be further from the truth. The group only encountered okay during the three times we were required to go to a local restaurant and pay for ourselves. For example, the first hike, which was a very cold, long day, we were ushered to an establishment for lunch that only offered us a piece of ham, piece of cheese, and cold beans for lunch. On top of that, there was no bathroom to use for the entirety of the 6 hour hike as the establishment refused us the facilities because their water stopped working suddenly. The other meals at the agriturismo were almost inedible. The group was also forced to eat dinner there one night and then also pay for it even though most of us couldn't finish the meal and also weren't told the cost of the meal. The location of the agriturismo is such that there are no other restaurants close by other than a pizzeria which is disappointing.

We had a wonderful time, met new friends and our guide, Vannia taught us about the history of the area and prosecco.

on all 4 days we had spectacular views, and very different each time. The prosecco tasting was very good, and the restaurant on the last night with the tasting was really stand out with top quality food.

I really enjoyed the trip. The walks showed the best scenery. Loved the e bike and all Prosseco tastings and the food. Vania our guide was very good at leading us and had great humour

The walks and the bike ride were fabulous with amazing views. The guide Vania was very knowledgeable and entertaining and the group were great fun. Unfortunately the food at the agriturismo was very disappointing, no fresh pasta even and overpriced in comparison to some excellent local restaurants.

Had an amazing week with Vania and a mixed international group walking the hills and zooming up and down them courtesy of e bike power! Can totally recommend - great trip x

Trip positives first- our bedroom was fine our guide Vania was excellent the hikes and ebike trip also varied beautiful and perfectly pitched at our mixed group level. The 3 evening meals we ate at different restaurants were superb and good value. However, the food at the Agriturismo was unexpectedly amateurish. A clue was the lack of delicious or any aromas emanating from the kitchen. No fresh pasta, the sense that meals were frozen and pre-prepared and reheated. I would recommend our activities but would not stay at this Agriturismo again.

Amazing trip!! We can’t wait to book our next one with MBA!

Daily hikes offered incredible scenery, taken at a relaxed, steady pace. We enjoyed hilltop lunches in unspoilt settings and sampled the finest prosecco, produced in nearby vineyards. One day we did an e-bike tour — invaluable for the climbs — exploring quiet roads and paths through breathtaking landscapes and vineyards.

The food throughout was local, plentiful, and full of variety, with prosecco flowing freely. Perhaps the highlight of the trip was the group itself — a great mix of interesting people who sharing plenty of laughs along the way. Even on our free evenings, the recommended restaurants were so good that we all chose to dine together. I would definitely recommend and am looking into our next adventure.

The Prosecco Hills tour was so much more than I expected. The setting one hour north of Venice had breathtaking scenery, the food was wonderful and copious, and we were expertly looked after by our guide Marta throughout. The most important aspect of the tour however was the camaraderie and bond formed with other members of the group with lots of chatting, and laughter while we hiked the hills and afterwards reflected on the day over a glass of prosecco! The tour also proved to be good value with no skimping on food and wine. This would be a great tour for anyone to go on and I would not hesitate to recommend MBA. The group is already planning our next trip to Tuscany!

Marta was incredible, our group was great, and our guide did an incredible job of taking us places we never would have found on our own.

Impeccably organised, fabulous activities, and such a warm welcome. Vania was amazing; she made it really special. Go, you won’t regret it!

I had an amazing time on this adventure! The hikes were a great length; some were more challenging, but never overwhelming. I always felt capable of completing them, though the generous amounts of Prosecco might not of helped with training readiness!

The September weather was perfect for hiking, warm but not too hot, and we were lucky enough to witness the grape harvest, which added a really special touch to the experience. The combination of scenic walks, e-biking through rolling hills, and tasting delicious local wines made this trip feel like the perfect balance of activity and indulgence.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature, wine, and a bit of a challenge!

This trip was everything I dreamed of and more, good food, fabulous wine, incredible scenery, wonderful company with a few challenges thrown in. Many thanks to the staff of La Bella agriturismo and a special thanks to our Guide Vania whos sparkle, sense of humour and movitational skills kept us all going and made this fabulous trip even more amazing.

Fantastic trip on my first activity holiday! Well organised and everything ran very smoothly thanks to Vania! Great Prosecco+wine tasting with superb food.

I had the best time. Vania the tour guide for the trip was great. She is local to the area and knows everything. You can ask her all the questions! I was lucky to have an excellent group to spend the time with. The hikes and bike ride were so much fun with stunning views. Any free time is filled with delightful food and drink.

This was the best activity holiday I have been on and will definitely go on another one with MBA. From start to finish everything was well organised and Vania, our guide, was brilliant and made even the steepest climbs fun. As a local, she was passionate about the area, the wine and food and this was definitely passed on to us. Our group all got on so well, shared lots of laughter (as well as wine) and left as friends. The walks were quite tough but so worth it for the views and it was a nice change to have a day on E-Bikes. The accommodation was clean and we were made very welcome by Elisa and her team. The food at La Bella was great and we also had three nights eating at restaurants which were fabulous. We were lucky enough to see the grapes being harvested and the different tastings were excellent. The wine really was so much better than the Prosecco we get in the UK - this really was a fantastic holiday, thank you Vania and MBA.

This was a perfect holiday: good, clean and friendly accommodation and a really well thought out itinerary. Our hikes were breathtakingly beautiful, and the wines seemed to flow and flow. For those concerned about the level of fitness required, if you can walk up steep-ish hills to the point of getting out of breath but recover within a couple of minutes, that's indicative of the level required. It's also pretty much all on established tracks. We were a mixed group of strangers but everyone was of a similar ability. I found poles were useful (not permitted in carry on luggage). Food was good - 2 nights eating in, 3 nights eating out. The pizzeria was lovely and the 2 other restaurants were a lot smarter than I was expecting for a casual activity holiday. Lunches were both varied and of a great standard. The ebiking day was lots of fun, getting out on quiet roads and tracks, and was a first for some. The absolute star of the show was our guide, Vania, whose humour kept us all in high spirits. Her professionalism felt relaxed, but she was super organised which helped the whole stay flow with ease. This was the first trip of this kind I have made but it definitely won't be the last.

Everything was fabulous and far exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Vania, was the best - couldn't have asked for more or had more fun - what a holiday and what a fabulous experience! Definitely looking at more MBA experiences soon!

This was my first MBA with 3 of my friends. Why it's taken so long to do this trip I have no idea. The hikes that we were guided on were some of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. The ebike trip was equally as awesome and I wish we could have done more! Everybody on the trip was well looked after at our accommodation by Eliza and the team at La Bella. But I think the thing that made our trip extra special was Vania. Her knowledge, professionalism and personal connection was second to none. The information and knowledge she passed to us won't be forgotten. Most of all, we had fun, lots of it. I only hope that I have as much fun on future MBA trips. Thank you MBA and thank you Vania ♥️

We had a brilliant time. Myself and 6 friends. We had a brilliant group so lots of laughs. Marta our guide was brilliant. Her caring and looking out for everyone was great. Her knowledge of everything is outstanding. A fab tour guide. I loved the walks. I wouldn’t say they are very easy a few hills in there to keep you going! The bike day was brilliant also the tour guide that day was great. Weather was roasting. September. Very well organised. Thank you.

Giving this 5* because it was definitely worth it. Beautiful location and the surrounding areas as well as the hotel. Everyone is so welcoming and can’t wait to share their specialities with you. The walks can feel a little tough with the inclines but they don’t last long and worth it for the views. Time is taken for everyone so it’s not a rush Cycling was amazing- although if you have padded shorts - take them! Weather obviously made a difference and we were lucky with a storm only during the night Marta our guide was exceptional and from the moment of meeting at the airport made you feel like a friend. It’s a first with MBA but I feel confident to book another trip very soon! If you like plenty of activity, with amazing food and good wines - give this a go!

Couldn't recommend this holiday enough. I don't think I have laughed so much. Vania our guide was fantastic. She was informative, supportive and fun. Everything was so well organized and great for every ability. I was glad we did so much exercise to offset all the great food and drink.
