Tour and 3 wines tasting in the Prosecco Hills

If you want real Prosecco country without a full-day detour, this short tour hits the sweet spot in Treviso’s Prosecco Hills. I like that De Riz pairs your vineyard tour with a focused tasting of the local DOCG Prosecco, so the wine doesn’t feel like a label on a bottle. I also like how the host keeps the conversation practical, including clear explanations of the differences between the wines and even pointers on where to eat afterward.

The one thing to consider is that it’s about 1 hour. That’s great for fitting into a busy day, but you won’t get long, slow sitting-down time like you would at a full tasting room experience.

Key takeaways before you go

• Vineyard first, then glasses: You’ll walk the grounds and get the production story before tasting.
• DOCG focus with variety: The core is Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, plus a broader lineup from the winery.
• Local pairing included: Expect snacks and typical products alongside the tasting.
• Allergy-friendly on request: They can adapt the menu if you tell them ahead of time.
• Guide-led explanations: The best part is learning the differences between bottles in plain language (and with real enthusiasm).
• You handle transport: Private tour, but private transportation isn’t included.

A Quick Detour Into Treviso’s Prosecco Hills

Treviso is a great base if you like doing day trips that feel specific, not touristy. This experience is built for exactly that: a compact visit to San Pietro di Feletto, in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene world. You get a slice of the hills and the mindset behind the wine, without needing a full schedule overhaul.

Also, the price makes sense for what’s included. At $23.27 per person, you’re paying for a hosted, guided tasting (not just grabbing a ticket at a shop) plus snacks and bottled water. If you’re trying to make the most of a short stay, this is the kind of activity that doesn’t steal hours from the rest of your day.

Meet at Via Pianale, Then Keep It Simple

The tour meets at Via Pianale, 72, 31020 Borgo Lozzo TV, Italy. It ends back at the same meeting point, so you don’t have to worry about a complicated drop-off or coordinating onward transport.

It runs on Monday–Friday with hours listed as 9:00 AM–1:00 PM and 2:00 PM–5:00 PM. If you’re planning around other plans in Treviso or near Venice, those windows matter. Going earlier or later in the day can also change the feel of the vineyard walk, since you’ll be outside for part of the visit.

This is a private tour/activity, meaning it’s only your group. That usually matters more than people expect. In a private setup, you can ask questions about wine styles, farming practices, or what to buy without feeling rushed or crowded.

De Riz Winery: Family Passions and Real-World Farming

De Riz isn’t presented as some distant, museum-style winery. It’s family-built, and you’ll hear the origin story behind the place. The winery traces its vision to grandfather Carlo, with his grandson Luca inheriting the love for nature and viticulture. That background becomes more than trivia when it connects to how the team works today.

One of the most useful bits of context: the family restored the winery structures in 2009, using new technologies to produce wines of great quality. The property sits in San Pietro di Feletto, and it’s about 16 hectares, mainly in the DOCG Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. In practical terms, that means you’re tasting Prosecco from a producer that’s rooted in the exact zone you’re walking through.

And there’s a specific theme you’ll notice: the slogan amore per la natura, passione per il prosecco. Luca’s focus is on preserving the ecosystem and caring for both vineyards and the people involved in the wine-making process. Even if you’re not an expert, it helps you understand what the winery thinks matters—because you’ll hear that mindset while tasting, not just in a brochure.

The Vineyard Tour: How It Teaches You What to Taste

Before the tasting, you’ll do a walk through the vineyard. This is the part that makes everything click. Instead of learning flavor notes in a vacuum, you see the setting where the grapes are grown and how the production process works at the winery.

You’ll also discover the heart of production. The tour includes a look at how wines are made, so you can connect the dots between farming choices and the glass in front of you. It’s not heavy technical lecture mode; it’s structured to keep you moving and understanding.

One smart thing about doing the vineyard part first: you start tasting with context. If you’ve ever had a Prosecco flight where all bottles begin to blur together, this format helps reduce that problem. You’re given a framework, and your brain stops treating each wine like a mystery.

Tasting 3 Prosecco Wines With Local Snacks

After the vineyard and production story, you’ll taste the wines alongside a selection of typical products. Included is snacks and bottled water, which sounds basic, but it matters. You’ll be more comfortable, and the tasting feels more like a meal-in-miniature than a rushed stop.

The tasting centers on Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. Since De Riz produces around 90% Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene, you’re getting the core of what the winery focuses on, then seeing how their other wines fit in.

On top of that, the tour is explicitly set up as a 3 wines tasting. So you’ll leave with enough variety to remember differences, not just one bottle and a handshake.

Pairings and diet notes (what you should do)

If you have allergies or a specific diet, tell them on request. They say they can adapt the menu for allergies, food requests, or special diets. That’s the key word here: request. If you wait until you arrive, you may cut it too close.

Also, keep in mind that the tasting includes typical products, but the details of each pairing aren’t listed here. Your best move is to communicate dietary needs ahead of time and ask what’s usually served alongside the glasses.

Why the Conversation Matters: Learning the Differences

This is one of those tours where the host’s personality becomes part of the value. The guide experience comes through clearly in the way the tasting is explained: not just what the wine is, but how the wines differ and what that means for flavor and style.

You can expect friendly, chatty guidance. In particular, the guide Pamela is highlighted as a standout for explaining differences between wines and making the experience feel personal rather than scripted. That matters if you’re not a wine nerd. You still walk away understanding why one bottle feels drier or lighter, or how styles can shift even within the same Prosecco universe.

Pamela is also noted for sharing suggestions on where to eat. I like that kind of add-on because it turns the tour into a springboard for the rest of your day. You get more than the tasting; you get local direction.

Price and Logistics: Getting Value Without Overpaying

Let’s talk numbers. $23.27 per person for a private, guided experience lasting about 1 hour, including snacks and bottled water, is a pretty efficient deal—especially if you’re staying nearby or already moving around the Treviso area.

What you’re not getting is private transportation. That’s the biggest practical tradeoff. If you’re relying on public transit or taxis, you’ll want to plan your return carefully. The tour is listed as near public transportation, which helps, but it still means you should treat the meeting point as your responsibility.

So the real “value question” isn’t only the price. It’s whether you can get to Via Pianale, 72 without hassle. If you can, this is a strong way to spend an hour in Prosecco Hills. If you can’t, the cost could turn into time and expense you didn’t budget for.

Timing Your Prosecco Hour (and Avoiding Day-Plan Stress)

This experience is easiest to schedule when you treat it like an appointment, not a flexible wander.

• Duration is about 1 hour, so build buffer time before and after.
• It’s offered Monday–Friday in two windows (morning and afternoon).
• It returns to the meeting point, which simplifies last-minute plans.

If you’re combining this with other Treviso activities, consider placing it at a point where you don’t need to rush immediately afterward. You’ll be tasting wine, and even if you feel fine, your brain will want a slower pace afterward.

Who This Tour Suits Best

This tour is a good fit if you:

• Want a short, high-impact tasting in the Prosecco Hills area.
• Like learning in an easy, friendly way rather than through heavy technical talk.
• Want to try 3 wines and leave with a clear sense of what’s different.
• Prefer a private group experience for easier questions and a calmer pace.

It’s also ideal for people who are already planning around Treviso or doing a day detour from the Venice area. The format is built for “I have time for one good thing” energy.

If you’re traveling with someone who doesn’t drink much wine, the vineyard tour and production walk can still keep the experience interesting because it’s about how the winery works, not just how the wine tastes.

Should You Book De Riz’s Prosecco Hills Tasting?

I’d book it if you want a guided Prosecco experience that stays focused: vineyard walk, production story, then a 3-wine tasting with snacks in under two hours of real-world time. The price is fair for what you get, and the host-led explanations make it feel like a learning experience, not a sales stop.

Skip it or think twice if transport to the meeting point is a headache for your specific day. Since private transportation isn’t included, you’ll want your plan to be smooth enough that you’re not starting the tasting stressed.
