Overview

Departing from Venice and meeting your guide in Terme Euganee, come and enjoy a unique experience immersed in the Euganean Hills.
The journey begins in Arquà Petrarca, a charming medieval village where every stone tells a story of poetry, history, and beauty. Strolling through its streets is an invitation to lose yourself, enveloped by the intimate and authentic atmosphere of the place.
We continue through olive groves and vineyards until we reach an excellent oil mill, where we will taste oil produced using ancient methods and true passion.
Shortly after, a family-run winery welcomes us for a tasting of local wines paired with typical cold cuts and cheeses, in a convivial moment that celebrates flavors and sharing.
The tour ends with a visit to a historic villa or castle in the Euganean Hills, elegant and timeless places immersed in a landscape that invites contemplation and relaxation.
The Vivo Tour Experience: not just a tour, but a memory to take home with you.
