Dagtrip met kleine groep naar Bassano del Grappa en Asolo vanuit Venetië: middeleeuwse stadjes in de heuvels, wijn en Palladiaanse villa
Next stop is the enchanting Asolo, known as 'the pearl of the Veneto' with its delightful gardens and palatial villas, you'll then visit picturesque Bassano del Grappa. Here, you'll take a guided tour of the town and have free time to shop for grappa (the local firewater), ceramics and porcini mushrooms.
A tour of the Veneto would be incomplete without visiting a Palladian villa. The Villa Barbaro is one of the most celebrated works by the famous Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, with fine frescoes by Veronese. The price of the tour includes entrance fees to the Villa Barbaro .
Veneto is a land of good food and wine, and for lunch (optional) a local restaurant has been selected where you can taste the regional cuisine accompanied by local wines. Saving the best till last, the tour concludes on the prosecco wine road and a visit to a local vineyard. Your day in the Veneto will come to a close with a refreshing glass of local prosecco (sparkling wine) or two.

What an exquisite day! With an early start from Venice Tronchetto, a small group of us 6 made our way to the gentle hills of the Veneto. Marco our driver/guide was much obliging, friendly and informative. The pace was laid back and allowed lots of time to simply stroll though the charming villages of Marostica, discover Bassano de Grappa with its incredible Poli Grappa Museum and its Grappa tasting and Asolo for an al fresco lunch in the Piazza optional. From there, Marco drove us to the Palladian Villa Barbaro which was quite interesting to visit. Then off to the Prosecco hills where a thunderstorm caught us and gave us spectacular play of lights over the Prosecco vineyards. We stopped at CaSalina and had quite a comprehensive degustation of all levels of Prosecco. What a better way to end this day. Returned to Venice around 7pm with lots of great memories! Thoroughly enjoyed this well organized excursion
This tour was the BEST one ever! Marco was our guide and made the tour so much fun! He interacted with us and just kept us informed and laughing the whole day. The towns we visited were amazing! Definitely one not to miss! Beautiful smaller towns with amazing views!
What a fantastic value and experience! The meeting point was easy to find. The group only consisted of 6 people. Marco was a fine driver and very informative guide throughout the day. The itinerary was varied and amazing. The stops were not rushed. We able to enjoy each at our pace within the time limit. Marco was quite engaging and attended to our needs as individuals. Marco knew exactly where to go to get the best views. We felt this was a great way to see parts of the mainland while staying in Venice.
Very good tour.
Bassano del Grappa was really beautiful. With only 5 people the guide was able to give us a lot of personal attention. Asolo and other towns were nice. The Palladio villa was a nice break between the two wine tasting events.
Just the right number of stops to make for a perfect day: the charming little town of Asolo, grappa tasting in Bassano del Grappa, and prosecco at a lovely winery. Our guide, Marco, was friendly, entertaining, and informative.
A wonderful day out up into the hills, saw some amazing villages towns, and the Grappa museum was a delight as was the tasting especially the cream ones highly recommend the chocolate one! The Proseco tasting was a lovely end to a lovely tour and was lovely to meet interesting people from the USA. The Market town we visited was magical as the market was open and the square a lovely place to sit and people watch. A thoroughly enjoyable day thank you.
