Carbon Neutral Trip
Veneto serves up sun-soaked hills, fresh pasta, and more postcard moments than your camera can handle. Pedal from the bubbly beauty of the Prosecco hills to sparkling Lake Garda, dine with a real Count in his abbey, and roll ravioli with our friend Serena. History, hospitality, and a whole lot of dolce vita? Yes, please.

No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
Our adventure begins in the UNESCO landscape of the Prosecco hills, where we’ll set off on our bikes and begin our ascent. Pause for a well-deserved lunch before we continue our ride to the historic Abbey of Follina. Tonight, we’ll be welcomed by the Count of Vidor for dinner.

Terrain
Prosecco offers diverse terrain, which can range from gentle flat paths to challenging hills, with some short gravel sections. We recommend choosing an e-bike if you don't ride hills regularly.
Pre trip
This trip begins at Hotel Villa Abbazia, where we stay on the first night. We recommend booking your night before the trip commences at this hotel.
Post trip
If you have extra time, consider extending your trip with a visit to Venice or Verona, both conveniently close by.
