Prosecco Wine Tours in Italy
From the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to the fertile banks of the Po River, the Veneto has geography as diverse as its history. We invite you to experience the “real” Veneto on this wonderful fine dining cooking tour.
The foothills of the Veneto Alps provide the stunning backdrop to Follina, a charming small town immersed in the Prosecco vineyards. In this setting you will find the Hotel Villa Abbazia, a lovely country hotel, and a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux family.
Your cooking classes will introduce you to the delicious flavors of Veneto and northern Italian cuisine, and you will have the opportunity to taste the famed wines of the Veneto. Join us for our short cooking tours in the Veneto, and have a relaxing Italian getaway!
