We invite you to experience the “real” Veneto on this wonderful journey. 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 an extraordinary country hotel that will be your home for three nights. Enjoy a half-day excursion with a guide and a private driver to a prestigious Prosecco winery with tastings included.
You will partake in 2 cooking classes in the hotel’s premier 1-star Michelin restaurant. The chef will guide you in hands-on sessions featuring a traditional menu of tastes of the Veneto cuisine with Apulian flavors.
