Day 2: The Garden of Venice
Enjoy a relaxing breakfast before seeing Venice from the water on a gondola ride.
A private transfer will then take you north of the city into vine cover hillsides: the “Garden of Venice”, where you will discover the origins of Prosecco, at a unique historic family property.
Villa Sandi is an icon of the Prosecco region, where you will enjoy a complete wine experience including history, art, terroir, landscape, wine and food.
Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622, right at the heart of the Province of Treviso. Its elegance is a link between the magnificence of Venice and the countryside, known as “Garden of Venice”. The Villa houses the family winery, run by Giancarlo Moretti Polegat whose estates encompass the entire Prosecco area.
The land close to the Villa is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay for the Villa Sandi Premium wines and Classical Method Sparkling Opere Trevigiane, all aged in the three century-old underground cellars stretching for over 1,5 km under the Villa.
After your visit and tasting, settle in to your room for the night at Locanda Sandi in Valdobbiadene, a typical colonial house of the Veneto region from the early 20th century. The building has been restored with materials from ancient mansions, giving a unique blend of refined and rustic Italian style.
Here, you will be served a dinner of typical Venetian cuisine providing a complete wine and food experience.
