PRIVATE FRIULI WINE DAY TOUR FROM VENICE In English Only! Other languages on request During our day, we will visit prestigious wineries that are renowned for both the high quality of their wines and the historical value of their estates. Combined with scenic drives through the delightful countryside and visiting an enchanting village or two, a very special day awaits you discovering wines, culture and beauty of the Friuli region of north-east Italy. We'll concentrate on the Collio wine region of Friuli whose wines seem to increase in popularity on an annual basis as the wine connoisseurs of the world discover their formidable qualities and diverse styles. 
As with all our wine tours, we tend not to visit too many wineries, but instead spend a longer time in those visited so that you can gain a better understanding of the wines tasted and the procedure of making them. Among its wines, the Collio region features the Ribolla, the rare Picolit and the even more rare Pignolo, as well as Cabernet, Tocai, Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio to mention just a few. The Collio has a bucolic charm, with its rolling hills thickly planted with vineyards, cherry trees and olive groves, all set against the back-drop of the imposing Friulian Alps. After spending time in Venice, you'll enjoy discovering an area where you can feel like being the only tourists around. Enjoying the peace, tranquility and natural beauty this area affords. Between vineyards we'll drive along scenic back-roads that meander around the lush green hills, through peaceful villages and hamlets, and past the numerous castles that litter the countryside to savour the idyllic charm of this beautiful region. We'll cross the "ponte diavolo" to explore a medieval village that was once the Longaboard capital of Italy. And, of course, we won't forget to indulge a little in the local cuisine at a restaurant we have personally selected to enhance your experience of the Collio wine region of Italy.
