Unforgettable Solo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Tour

Unforgettable Solo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Tour

I booked an all day solo Prosecco tour with Mario. My intention was to expand upon my wine education (WSET 1 and 2) and experience first hand different wineries in the prestigious Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene wine region. Mario was fantastic and a wealth of information as I continued to ask many questions throughout the day. It was truly an incredible experience for someone passionate about wine and a chance of a lifetime to walk the vineyards with the wine maker, learn more about Prosecco production methods and sit for an intimate wine tasting. Thank you Mario for the wonderful translation. This was a day I will never forget!
