Italy: Veneto's Prosecco, Prawns, Villas & Vistas Biking Adventure
Breathtaking beauty against the backdrop of the Dolomite Mountains
From the timeless canals of Venice to the rolling foothills of the Dolomites, the Veneto – once the sanctuary of wealthy Venetian nobles – is a spectacular land of verdant pastures, robust vineyards, opulent villas and fortified towns.
Arrive in Venice a day early to explore the city’s meandering waterways, narrow cobblestone streets and lasting architecture. Pedal the gentle, snaking Strada dei Vini and quiet country roads into the cypress-clad foothills of the Dolomites, toasting postcard-perfect vistas of snowcapped peaks over a glass of local Prosecco. Enjoy a private tour of the 1,000-year-old San Pietro di Feletto church, famous for its frescos, and shop the boutiques in the quaint hilltop town of Asolo. In Maser, visit Palladio’s 16th century masterpiece, the Villa Barbaro, home to unequaled frescos by Veronese. By night, reward yourself with a plate of local seafood, a glass of grappa and a restful night’s sleep in the comfort of your hotel or albergo.
