Beyond Venice, let’s explore Veneto thorugh the best wine tours

Those who choose Venice often don’t know that just steps from the water lies a region rich in wine treasures. Veneto is a land of great wines and little secrets to discover slowly, among rolling hills, ancient villages, and vineyards that follow the seasons’ rhythms.

From the light Prosecco of the Valdobbiadene hills to the intense elegance of Amarone from Valpolicella, each area guards a distinct identity, shaped by terroir, tradition, and passion. Veneto wine tours are immersive experiences where you meet producers, hear family stories, and sip glasses that taste of earth and time.

But there is also a wine that speaks directly to the lagoon: Dorona di Venezia, an ancient grape, nearly lost, now reborn on the islands with roots in brackish water. This wine, known as the Doges’ wine, glows golden, offers a full body, and leaves a mineral finish that surprises and captivates. Tasting it is like drinking a piece of Venetian history, a bridge between the Serenissima and its agricultural soul.

At Relais Alberti, we are delighted to offer our guests private tastings featuring Dorona, often accompanied by stories, local products, and convivial moments in our Lemon Court or in the Fireplace Room. It’s a way to truly connect with the territory—not just visiting it, but savoring it consciously.

Wine lovers know that each glass tells a story, and every journey can become an unforgettable memory when paired with the right flavors.
