Breakfast consists of a good selection of cereals, fruit, homemade cakes, cheese and cold meats, along with tea and coffee. Breakfast is usually available between 8am and 9am.
Packed lunches are normally provided for the walks, and usually consist of a sandwich with a snack.
During the week, there will be opportunities to try some of the best local restaurants, which offer authentic cuisine and delicious homemade dishes such as spiedo (spit-roasted meat), wild mushroom risotto, gnocchi, cured meats and cheeses, all washed down with quality prosecco.

A private minibus will be used throughout the week.
Occupying a spot right next to the Soligo river, the family-run Hotel Conta provides an ideal place to stay for our adventures in the Prosecco Hills. The 49-room property sits in the historic centre of Pieve di Soligo, within walking distance of restaurants, bars and other shops.
Rooms are unfussy and stylish, some overlooking the waterway, while others face the internal patio. And if you feel like sampling more of the local produce, there’s a wine bar in the communal area selling regional food and drinks.
A local leader will be with the group throughout the week. A local licensed guide will accompany the group in Venice.
