Italys Prosecco hills

Lovely holiday in a good hotel central to small town. Walking through a variety of terrains. Although billed as walking in the Prosecco Hills I hadn’t realised we’d be drinking quite so much Prosecco!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking through the vineyards in the sunshine, and the church with beautiful frescoes in Pieve de Soligo.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mattia was a good leader. Very supportive and caring when walkers struggled by walking with them or slowly in front to pace for them. Good local knowledge.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Although billed as level 2, I think that’s due to the Treviso day which is a sightseeing tour then a flat walk by the river. The other 4 days are a level 3. Walking is either steep up or steep down, not a lot of on the level walking. Last day is up very high. Mattia said it would be cold, would have been better to say it would be 5 degrees. (It was 20 degrees normally). Much tougher walking and with the altitude. Beautiful walk though and great views. Take travel pills if you don’t travel well on that day as lots of hairpin bends as we climbed to near the top. But I get vertigo and I was okay on the walk and the drive up, but one of the group found the drive up and down a bit concerning. A brolly is also useful as rain is straight down and no wind. Also walking pole.

Suggestions

Great holiday as ever, and the wine tasting and restaurants were great. Also hadn’t expected the first and last meal to be included in package including the drink.

Fabulous trip!

This was a lovely trip! We stayed in a nice hotel, and although it had basic facilities there were plenty of good restaurants nearby. The town is pretty but there isn’t much to do there if the free day is a rainy one. Plenty of towns nearby or Venice to visit though. The scenery in the hills was stunning, and the Prosecco was amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

Coming across a Prosecco vending machine in the hills!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania was a great guide, knowledgeable, friendly and easy going, especially when our group had a bit too much Prosecco! Sandra was our driver for most of the week. She was such good fun and made any journey more enjoyable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Enjoy!

Highly recommended

A new appreciation for Prosecco

We had the most amazing week traipsing through the Prosecco Hills. Our guide , Vania, was happy to share her wealth of knowledge of the landscape as well as Prosecco. Vania made sure we were well looked after and kept us entertained with her wonderful personality. The Hotel Conta was ideal for the trip and the staff were super friendly . I would not hesitate in recommending this trip to anyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

The vistas were beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

She was the best !

Suggestions

I would recommend Vania for best guide. She absolutely has the best person for guiding. A great personality with lots of energy, knowledge and sense of fun ! We could not have enjoyed her more.

Great walking, excellent refreshment, star guide!

Gillian and I had a great week enjoying the walking, spectacular views, brilliant wild flowers and varied wines (both Prosecco and some very good local red wines) in the beautiful Prosecco Hills and Pre-Alps, led by the enthusiastic and ebullient Vania de Paoli. It was hotter than expected for the second half of May, making some of the unshaded uphill sections quite taxing, but Vania timed the breaks to ensure that everyone in our varied and convivial group was able (literally!) to take the walks in their stride. A very good way to get back into the swing of foreign holidays after two difficult years.

Most Inspirational Moment

The final day's walk in the Pre-Alps, starting at over 1000 metres, combined great views with wild narcissi, asfodel, orchids and many other spring flowers, in more comfortable temperatures than earlier in the week because of the altitude. And Vania topped it off by producing two bottles of Prosecco at the highest point! Outside the main programme, Vania also organised a wine and food tasting menu for us at the restaurant a few metres from the Hotel. Four courses and five red wines, all made within 15 km of the hotel and two of them particularly good, for Eur40 per head - exceptional value!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble for Vania - and she was great fun with it!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring walking poles and make sure you know how to use them. The walks are not particularly long but they merit the Leisurely/Moderate grading because there is significant ascent and descent, some of it sustained and on steep and rather loose paths.

Suggestions

This was our third trip with Exodus and we certainly hope to do another one.

Perfect trip

Good food and wine all week, and great walking, what more can you ask for?

Most Inspirational Moment

It was good to learn more about the different types of prosecco.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania is an excellent tour leader - you are safe in her hands, and will have a great time!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do this trip. Don't eat much for lunch at the airport on the way out, you will get a generous dinner in the evening! (and that theme continues all week really …). I did use mossie repellant (just the natural citronella stuff), and I didn’t get bitten, so would recommend. Would also recommend walking poles most days, as there are some steep up/down sections on all but one of the walks. I walked to San Gallo church on the “free” day, which I would recommend for a great view. If using Google maps, aim for the nearby locanda (La Candola) rather than the church, then it wont lead you down a non-existant path! Church is just after that on the same road.

Great itinerary

If you like wine and some ‘up and down’ walking this is the trip for you. Away from crowds and brilliantly organised.
Even better if you get the Vania and Sandra combo!

Predictive tech

Technology needs to do what it is told.

Most Inspirational Moment

You will see my review from the other day below is grammatically incorrect. The group leader section starts with Variously obviously..... This is totally wrong. I typed Vania who was our leader. It is Vania, Vania, Vania not Variously. Word obviously decided it didn't like Vania and made something up. With all the money I have given Microsoft a refund is obviously due.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania is a star. Never met Variously.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Rant over

Prosecco Hills

Not too heavy, not too light. Like the wines.

Most Inspirational Moment

Final walk provided excellent views of the hills, but every day gave something different. The free day we went to Venice, with all help necessary for the journey from Vania and Sandra (driver)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Various obviously loves what she does and her enthusiasm shows.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was very hot for our trip in May toping 30 on one day. Be aware and have suitable clothing for the conditions. Be prepared for some steep uphill too.

Another great trip with Exodus

This trip exceeded my expectations in terms of the standard of walks, places we visited and fabulous companions.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved all the walking but the most inspirational was the trip to Treviso. The city was very clean fascinating and interesting. I loved the walled centre and the great guide who showed us around with lots of enthusiasm. In addition, the food stop near the fish market provided delicious lunch and tiramisu.

Thoughts on Group Leader

What can I say about Vania that hasn’t already been said! I chose this trip because I wanted to travel with Vania again having previously walked the Amalfi coast with a group led by her in March 2018. She is a delightful, professional, friendly and calm person with a great sense of humour, and I joked with her that she was our Mummy and we were her chicks following closely behind. Nothing seemed to phase her and she always had a smile for everyone. She is a credit to Exodus.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely take insect repellent, even in October, as the little blighters can inflict nasty bites.

Excellent holiday

We had a very enjoyable holiday walking in the Prosecco hills with Vania who was an excellent guide

Most Inspirational Moment

Difficult to choose one moment - we enjoyed the whole trip . There was a varied itinerary with spectacular scenery

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania de Proli was excellent . She had very good local knowledge , was very well organised and looked after the group in a very thoughtful manner throughout the week making sure everyone was comfortable with the walks

Suggestions

Nothing further . I would thoroughly recommend the holiday
