In the Prosecco Hills, the bubbles are just the beginning. Ride through rolling vineyards, sip Grappa (slowly) where it was born, and wander medieval towns where even the artwork feels tipsy on beauty. With DOCG vines, Michelin-worthy meals, and landscapes that practically toast you back, this region pairs perfectly with every kind of adventure.
Explore picturesque landscapes as you pedal through Veneto’s iconic regions and UNESCO-designated landscapes, including the Prosecco Hills and Bassano del Grappa—all at your own speed.
Immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Prosecco's art towns, where our favourite accommodations are perfectly located to capture the region's beauty and culture.
Dive into Prosecco's rich culture, from a hands-on pasta-making class to admiring the masterpieces of Antonio Canova, one of Italy's most celebrated sculptors.

Good to know
Terrain
Prosecco offers diverse cycling terrain which can include challenging hills with some short gravel sections and sharp turns. We recommend choosing an e-bike if you don't ride hills regularly.
Pre and Post trip
If you have extra time, consider extending your trip with a visit to Venice or Verona, both conveniently close by.
Wine
Veneto is renowned for its Prosecco, a sparkling wine from the hills of Valdobbiadene and its artisanal grappa, a flavourful spirit distilled from grape pomace.
