Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Euganean Hills different from other Veneto wine regions?
The Colli Euganei are volcanic in origin, giving the soil a mineral character you won't find elsewhere in Veneto. The appellation covers an unusually wide range of styles, from still whites to sparkling and sweet wines.
How far is this from Venice, and what time will we get back?
It's about 45 minutes each way. On a full-day private tour you'll typically depart mid-morning and return to your Venice hotel by early evening.
Is tipping expected?
Tipping is not included and is entirely at your discretion. Many guests tip their driver-guide directly at the end of the day if they enjoyed the experience, but there is no fixed expectation or amount.
