Hike, Bike and Wine in Italy's Prosecco Hills

Wow, another amazing MBA adventure and this time in Italys Prosecco Hills, with the best group yet. From start to finish this trip had it all, delicious food, lots of Prosecco, the best guide (Vania) and best hosts at the La Bella Agriturismo, and the best craic. The walks are manageable, take your time, look at the stunning views and reward yourself with a few Prosecco!! Loved the E-Bikes, the best day, loved that bike!! Back home and will only drink DOCG. Don’t hesitate just book, you will have an amazing time. DOCG forever…. . booked my fourth MBA adventure!

Wonderful trip, far better than expected! Vania, our guide who was exceptional, the hiking was classed as easy but we would say it was more moderate as some of the hills were quite steep. A very good trip all round.

It was exactly as we expected. Great food, great wine and great experience! If you like food, presecco and the outdoors this is definitely for you! This was our first group trip and we wanted to be eased in gently to the experience.

Logistics - This is a great one to try as a first. The walks are in the presecco hills so guess what?...there are hills! The guide is given plenty of time to get round the route but, because our group was quite fast we found ourselves hanging around for transport sometimes -which is fine. Good footwear is needed (I thought this is obvious) but reading the other reviews it would seem some are caught of guard with this. Take an extra base layer/jacket for when you go higher up or if the weather turns. Plenty of opportunities for water refills, toilet breaks, cheese eating etc on route. Really good mix of exercise versus eating and drinking.

Guide - marta was fabulous she adjusted to the groups abilities instantly, knew her routes, the itinerary and arranged meals with us outside of the "organised ones" taking us to some fabulous eateries. Couldn't have had a better guide.

Accomodation-lovely small boutique style hotel with a personable touch and home cooked food. If you want a drink on an evening you have to try and get someone to open up the bar and they have their own presecco which tastes great! Staff are super friendly but English is limited they do all they can to help.

Scenery, food and drink- Just fabulous. You're never going to see or taste anything like it and there is plenty of it!! Loved the e-bikes what a fab day out.

Transfers/transport - little bit of a negative here. We were checked out at 7am due to us all having to be taken to the airport at the same time with the first flight dept. (This is stated somewhere I read it after the holiday)

Also, there was another trip (not with us) who we ended up sharing the bus and eateries with most times and also working around them for transport pick ups etc this did disgruntle us a bit due to them being somewhat rowdy. We were there for the whole experience they were there for the drink. The two groups shouldn't really have been mixed at all (I'm my opinion).

Duration - perfect time spent. We went to Venice for 2 days after to make it 7 days and Marta kindly provided us with more valuable info for that too!

A fabulous and memorable trip with friends. Stunning walks, delicious Prosecco and great accommodation. Highly recommended

Fabulous views, exercise, weather, hospitality, food and drink - especially loved the vending machines of wine!

What can I say? Everything about this trip was brilliant, our fantastic guide Vania, the food, the wine, the agriturismo, the hikes and the bikes. The walks were challenging but manageable and the views were worth the effort. My first experience of a group trip like this and thanks to a lovely bunch of fellow travellers it won’t be the last.

Had a fabulous experience in the Prosecco hills. My first time doing something like this so wasn't sure what to expect but it was really great. The guide, Vania, was amazing - very engaged, thoughtful, patient and fun. We were lucky to have a great group of fellow adventurers also. The agriturismo was very nice, Elisa and the staff were wonderful. The activities were a comfortable challenge, just enough for you to feel you deserved the delicious food and wine. Would definitely recommend.

Loved the break. Vania was an excellent guide, looking out for all of the group, all of the time. Great group, some gorgeous food and wines. A fab way to spend a few days away in a beautiful setting. Walks and ride exactly as described, though maybe far more of a challenge in hot weather.

As a solo traveler who usually finds planned group activities to be something to avoid, I was thrilled to discover my reluctance was all for nothing! This was a phenomenal adventure from start to finish, with a perfect balance of activity (some of it challenging but only in a push-yourself way, not a give-up-now way), insight into the culture of the area, lovely group dynamics, and of course, ample delicious food and Prosecco. The tour guide, Vania, is an absolute delight and stellar at making sure everyone has what they need, at all times. If you're on the fence about this one, hop down and book it!

What a brilliant trip! Vania, our guide, was amazing from the very start, well organised, informative, and fun! The Agriturismo was lovely, the rooms were clean and tidy with everything you could need, and Elisa was a joy to be around. The hiking was fantastic. The hills were challenging, but the hikes themselves were not too long, and we took a lot of quick rest breaks. The views made the hard work well worth it, and the wine tasting and meals en route were fantastic. The bike ride was a highlight, ebikes made the tough hills easy so you could enjoy the views. Meals in the evenings were great, the food was brilliant every night. Our group was fun and friendly and we enjoyed spending time sipping Elisa's prosecco in the afternoons before dinner. I had an amazing time, made new friends, saw breath taking views, enjoyed some challenging climbs and got to cuddle some farm kittens too! Highly recommend!

What a fabulous holiday! The first time on an organised group tour for us and not sure what to expect but there was nothing to worry about! The whole holiday from start to finish was absolutely fantastic: our amazing guide, Marta, so knowledgeable and great fun; fabulous accommodation; a great group to spend time with; amazing local food; and, of course, plenty of Prosecco – definitely the star of the show! The walking was great with fantastic views, challenging at times, but nothing that a reasonable level of fitness couldn’t manage. The bike ride was another highlight of the adventure, a great experience, fantastic scenery and all guided by Alessandro. We, highly recommend this holiday. Kevin & Amanda

We did not know what to expect booking a girls trip with Much Better Adventures and totally blown away by the whole experience. The accommodation was fabulous, walks spectacular and the most brilliant guide, Vania. We would definitely book another trip. Hopefully 2025! Thank you!

7 of my friends and I embarked on our journey through the Prosecco hills. Everything was on point from the views, the stops, the food and the accommodation. But more than that our guide Vania was absolutely brilliant. She jumped on board with our dress ups, singing and all the other craziness and really made our trip one we’ll never forget. I would definitely recommend much better adventures and will most certainly use them again!

The trip was what it promised and more. a lot harder than expected as the hills are really steep - both up and down, taking their toll but the views made up for it. Vania was the absolute best guide ever, she made sure we were safe and sound wherever we were but also joined in on our private groups activities and fitted right in with us.

Well planned trip with amazing views and hikes. Marta was a great guide and ensured we all had a great time. A must if you like good Prosecco and food!

This is an excellent trip to the Prosecco Hills. The food was delicious and the cycling was a real highlight!

This was my favourite trip ever. The agritourismo was just fabulous as was Eliza and the team. Our guide Marta was absolutely brilliant and so very knowledgeable and knew the area well. Right in the heart of the Prosecco Hills in beautiful surroundings. The hikes were spectacular but not for unseasoned walkers. While it is classed as easy, this is for people who hike with a good level of fitness. The views at the top were amazing and rewarded by delicious meats and local cheese and of course Prosecco. The e bikes were absolutely brilliant fun and allesandro, our cycle guide was very attentive and explained everything. There was a perfect mix between activity and down time so there was enough time to relax after the hikes and cycling. We had a great group, very friendly and fun. I would highly recommend this trip, it was incredible value for money and brilliant fun.

Weather and wine and food and company and views.

Great exercise with winds reward. Recommend.

We had an amazing adventure superbly led by our guide Vania. The hiking and biking were challenging but the fantastic scenery, winery visits and hospitality of the Prosecco Hills made every step worth it. Of the four days I couldn’t pick a favourite - each had its own special moments. Elisa and staff at the Agriturismo always had a warm welcome at the end of each day. Can’t wait to choose next years adventure

Had a lovely trip with great people, a fantastic guide (Maria), a really brilliant mix of hiking/cycling/eating and lots of delicious Prosecco.

The agriturismo was comfortable, clean and air conditioned, the food throughout was (as expected in Italy) exceptional. The biking is easy thanks to the motors, the hikes had some shorter challenging patches, largely due to the hot weather but would be very manageable for anyone of average-ish fitness and probably more so later in the year.

In summary can’t recommend enough. This was our first MBA and we’re already thinking about the next one.

We had a wonderful time discovering this stunning part of Italy. 3 days hiking and 1 on electric bikes covering lots of ground. Our guide was the brilliant Vania who had endless patience with our group of friends bringing humour and local knowledge each day. The walks were challenging in parts, steep climbs in searing heat but so worth it for the views and Prosecco stops. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way and I would definitely recommend MBA to others.

The hikes were good but it would have been better to start then earlier in the day as we ended up exposed to the sun at the hottest time. Some more free time to explore or see some of the local towns would have been nice. The food at the hotel was good but not amazing. The dinner on the last night was the best. The biking was fun but would have been better if we'd stopped off at one of the vineyards. Some other small irks were there was only one guide meaning the pace of walking was very slow as we had to keep waiting for the slowest people, the plastic cutlery wasn't great and it would have been nice to have the option to swim and do some other types of activity. The lake we swam in was pretty dirty and not very pleasant. Overall though a good trip.

A great choice for my second Much Better Adventure, and 40th birthday celebration! Hiking, biking and prosecco... what's not to like?! Our group leaders Marta and Maria were great, super friendly and knowledgeable. The Agritourismo where we stayed was lovely and Elisa's food was delicious. The hikes had some steep inclines but nothing too difficult if you've got a good base level of fitness and experience hiking. My favourite day was hiking in the pre Alps, we got lucky with a pretty clear day so had some amazing big views, e-biking was a close second, it was great to travel further and see more of the countryside. The weather was hot and muggy, definitely bring mosquito repellent...I underestimated how bitey they'd be! A great, well organised tour, I'm already checking which Much Better Adventure I'll choose next ☺️

Absolutely tremendous trip. Accommodation was great but it would be nice if there was a garden with sun loungers etc to lie out on rather than just tables and chairs.

Breakfast was a bit fussy another toaster and more supplies would have been good

Our guide Vannia and the cycle Alex were first class. Informative helpful and utterly delightful.

Well done all. Jim collier

We went on this trip as a private group of family and family friends in August 2024, and we had the most amazing time. Every day was just full of beautiful scenery, great walks and a fun bike ride, and delicious food. Our guide, Vania, was great - very knowledgeable and good fun, and we also loved Eliza and the rest of the team who worked at the farm stay. I would recommend this trip to anyone with a good basic level of fitness.

Absolutely fantastic 5 days with some stunning walks through rolling hills, vineyards, villages and woodland. Yes, there are some steep hills but with determination anyone can do it, however it may help if you have done some hikes experience especially if you go in June/August/Beg of Sept with the heat. The walks aren’t overly long but done a leisurely pace to enjoy your surroundings and long lunches, food delicious and plentiful and the Prosecco flows…a good thing as it tastes so good!! E-bikes were a highlight, bikes easy to use and comfortable, perfect for the guided route through the valleys! Marta and Maria our guides were so supportive, encouraging and ensured we all had the best time- thank you!

Overall a great trip, possibly a bit too much Prosecco 😂 . The first day was a little long, the walk wasn’t long enough for a whole day so we ending up sitting down and lunching for nearly 3 hours and it was too much. After a day of travelling the day before it would have been preferred to get back and have a few hours to myself (this wasn’t just my opinion) That a side the rest of the trip was great. The Agriturismo La Bella was fantastic with great staff who did their best to cater to your needs and also happy to have a laugh and a joke. I think the description of easy needs to be adjusted, as yes relatively easy if you are regularly exercising and fit - I was probably a little too fast for some of the group and the guides (I wasn’t walking super fast but it appeared like I was) Others who were not as fit struggled and as the description suggests it is easy this can be mistaken as a walk in the park rather than an easy/moderate uphill hike (it wasn’t fun to watch others struggle and there wasn’t anything anyone could do for them). The E bike was good fun but one size does not fit all. As they were men’s bikes these were not pleasant seats nor when you hit the middle bar getting off them. Perhaps a rethink on style of bikes. Although the guide was hilarious! 🤣 a few advisories but overall a great week with fabulous guides, food and people.

My partner and booked this trip last minute and we have no regrets!

The activities were really nice. Starting at around 9AM and lasting for 4 or 5 hours or so with plenty of breaks including lunch and wine tasting. Some steepness, but all manageable. And the ebikes were a hit with our group despite some moments of torrential downpour. Our late afternoons were free to clean-up, explore the agritourismo, and nap, etc. before dinner. So overall, it was a fairly laid back tour.

Food and wine were the stars of this tour. Beyond well-fed is an understatement, and our guides ensured my partner's dietary needs were met with care.

The area is gorgeous and Vania & Marta, our local guides, were the heart and soul of this experience. The rest of the group was fantastic. The only time we really encountered groups of other tourists was during a brief stop to a Prosecco vending machine (which was cool FTR and had beautiful views), so it feels "off the beaten path" and like seeing the Prosecco Hills through the experience of a local (Vania!) in a way I really appreciated.

Already looking forward to my next booking in September!

A fantastic tour with Vania and Marta who were fun, caring and creative. There was never any rush, everything was very well organised and we were always kept informed. Beautiful scenery, great people and good food!

The most amazing guided tour. Well planned, amazing views and walks. The ebikes were a surprise hit, very easy to get used to quickly. Lots of wonderful little details and so much included for the price. Vania and Marta were amazing guides and the agriturismo is just perfect. Some of the hikes are very steep but plenty of breaks made it doable, and the wonderful views, photo ops and sense of achievement are all more than worth it. Book it now, you won't regret it!
