Festival weekend planner
Vino in Villa — a 3-day weekend in Veneto
22–25 May. Valdobbiadene, Italy. 30 min from the airport.
The weekend, day by day
- Day 1
Arrive in Valdobbiadene
Land at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.
- Day 2
Vino in Villa
Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The Rive single-vineyard Proseccos are the revelation — different from mass-market Prosecco in character and complexity. Cartizze, from the grand cru hillside, is the benchmark to taste.
- Day 3
Wine country day in Veneto
Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
