Prosecco Road Trip
Explore
A road trip north of Venice takes you through one of Italy's most sophisticated, and least
visited, stretches of countryside. Some of the Veneto's finest country villas, medieval
walled towns and frescoes are to be found here, while a little further north in the foothills
of the Dolomites,
prosecco
vines dip and crest across an undulating landscape framed by
snowy peaks. To explore it properly you'll need a car of your own; and you'll certainly
want one so you can load up with the Veneto's finest fizz and firewater.
