A smart combination of art, culture, nature, food & wine, all contained in one region: the Veneto. Venice, known as the Queen of the Adriatic, the 'Serenissima' or the 'city of canals', is the capital of the region. Located in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, the town of Venice is made up of 118 small islands, connected to each other by 438 bridges, rivers and canals, some of them of great beauty. Across a 3 km bridge, Venice is connected to the mainland, where you can discover walled medieval towns, prosecco grape yards along the routes, ancient artisan craftsmanship products and the natural beauty of its hills, mountain and lakes. Our program let you visit the whole Veneto region with some of the most interesting and beautiful areas on a daily basis: Padova & , Conegliano & Prosecco hills, Soave & , Villa Pisani in Stra. All this in an 8-day exciting journey.

Leave the tourists behind with our local guide stopping to listen stories and legends about famous monuments such as La Fenice opera house and the sinuous Scala del Bovolo staircase. In the afternoon get your bike and enjoy the beaches of Lido from the luxurious Excelsior hotel beach to the wild ones in San Nicolò (north side) or Alberoni (south side).

Day 4 Venice – Padua Breakfast at the hotel. Boat transfer to Venice airport to get your car, rented for 5 days. Driving to Padua take the local road along the Brenta river to see the beautiful villas aligned along the river. Then stop at Villa Pisani in Stra for a visit. The villa is quite similar to the Versailles castle, with fountains, large buildings and a huge Italian garden with its famous maze. Get to the hotel in Padua and check-in. Time at leisure to visit the city on your own. Padua is a journey into the past, amongst ancient history, traditions and art. The Palazzo della Ragione and Loggia dei Carraresi, the Scrovegni Chapel, with its precious frescoes of Giotto. It is a walk among magnificent old buildings and the spirituality of its churches: the Basilica di Sant’Antonio, Santa Giustina, the Duomo. Enjoy the city markets of Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza della Frutta, the grandeur of Prato della Valle and the millenary porticos. Padua is also the city of science with its university, the first one in the world.

Day 5 Padua Breakfast at the hotel. Today we suggest a drive through the countryside from Padua to the villages of Pedemontana Vicentina, a beautiful countryside with many Venetian villas designed by the famous architect Andrea Palladio, rural villages and churches that still stand rich of history and culture. Do not forget the food & wine products! The Sopressa salami, the Grappa from Bassano, Marostica cherries are just some delicacies. Interesting is the visit at the Museo del Maglio in Breganze, recounting the world of blacksmiths with historical records from 1635. In the afternoon spend few hours in Vicenza, a World Heritage Site thanks to the 23 buildings in the historical centre and 16 villas in the province created by Andrea Palladio. The Basilica Palladiana, the Teatro Olimpico, the Loggia del Capitanato Palazzo Chiericati, Villa la Rotonda and Palazzo Valmarano are just some of the universal treasures that welcome visitors to this area.

Day 6 Padua Breakfast at the hotel. Day at leisure for private visits. Today the itinerary goes to Conegliano and Prosecco hills, located to the north of the province. The valley benefits of a micro climate ideal for the prosecco grapes and the hills are planted with centuries-old vines. The magical atmosphere of these lands takes you to the ever-present fragrance of this special wine. These hills are the homeland of Prosecco, the most famous bubbles in the world. A local culture of wine growing and the art of living well. The Strada del Prosecco and wines of the Valdobbiadene hills will lead you in the discovery of ancient castles, noble villas, hermitages and abbeys. It is strongly recommended to visit one of the many wine cellars, where food lovers will be sure to find the highest quality food and wine!

Day 7 Padua Breakfast at the hotel. Today the itinerary goes to the East of Verona, where castles, villas, churches are still full of history and traditions. Let’s start in Soave, a medieval town enclosed within an undamaged city wall.

With enchanting views and the charm of its little historical villages, Soave is also famous for its much-loved Soave white wine and the Recioto, two wines among the most exported and internationally famous, that can be discovered along the Soave Wine Route. This area is a land of villages dominated by castles, rural courtyards, and imposing manor houses dotted between the mountains and valleys. Finally, you can discover the typical products of the region, such as the Monte Veronese cheese and the Valpolicella extra virgin olive oil. Small inns, agritourism venues and renowned restaurants will offer you the very best delicious local food and wine. A truly amazing journey of flavours! On the way back is worth a visit to Verona, the city of love! The majestic Arena, the Roman amphitheatre that for decades has hosted the prestigious summer opera season, is found in the very central Piazza Bra. The not-too-far House of Juliet with its famous balcony welcomes thousands of visitors fascinated by the story of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers of Shakespeare's famous tragedy. Walk through Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori to get the feeling of locals animating the daily city markets, and then enjoy the day in Piazza Bra with a glass of local wine!
