About this tour
Explore four distinct wines from the Veneto region across two hours in Padua, tasting sparkling Prosecco, crisp Soave, structured Valpolicella, and robust Refosco. Each pour pairs with small cichetti—local savoury bites—while you learn production methods, flavour profiles, ideal serving conditions, and how geography shapes what's in your glass. A structured tasting for anyone wanting to understand northeastern Italian viticulture beyond the surface.
Highlights

- Learn regional wine geography and production techniques
- Suitable for all fitness levels, service animals welcome
What to expect
You'll taste systematically through four wines, starting lighter and building to fuller-bodied expressions. A guide walks you through the technical side—colour, nose, palate—and how to spot what makes each wine distinctive. Cichetti arrive with each pour: expect small plates of local cheese, cured meats, or vegetables that highlight what's in your glass. The whole thing takes two hours, moving at a conversational pace. You're not rushed; there's time to ask questions and actually absorb what you're learning rather than just moving to the next glass.
Good to know
Sessions are walkable, so no special fitness required. Public transport reaches the venue easily. Bring a notepad if you want to jot tasting notes. Service animals are fine. The focus is on understanding Veneto wines specifically, so come ready to engage with regional flavour profiles rather than expecting a global wine survey.
