Discover the Prosecco region, better known as the 'secret garden of Venice' on this 7 night, single centre cycling holiday.
Cycling is by far one of the best way to get to know this famous Italian region, framed in the north by the Alps and in the south by the river Piave plain, where green hills are covered by lush vineyards. What is waiting for you is a land full of charm, history and art, enriched by unexpected surprises bearing witness to its ancient past: fairytale castles, aristocratic villas but also typical cellars where local people are keeping alive the traditions and the pleasure of hospitality - you will absolutely need to taste their delicious local products!
In this area winemaking tradition has ancient roots: the first written evidence of Prosecco dates back to 1772 and nowadays, even though sparkling wines are widespread throughout the whole country, only the product born from these particular grapes, with its floral and fruity scent, can bring in the world the name of 'Prosecco'. From Conegliano to Valdobbiadene there are 30 kilometers of hills covered with vineyards, where tractors do not arrive and men are the protagonists of a heroic viticulture: welcome to the world of Prosecco, where the first Italian road dedicated to wine, Strada del Vino, was born in the 1960s.
You will spend 7 nights at the charming 4 star Hotel dei Chiostri, located in the historic centre of picturesque Follina and you can choose to stay on a bed and breakfast basis or upgrade to half board, with 7 evening meals taken at the hotel's restaurant, where you will be able to sample their specialities and traditional cuisine.
This trip is also available to book with 7 night stays at 3 star or 5 star hotels
Arrive at the charming town of Follina and the 4 star Hotel dei Chiostri, your accommodation for the whole duration of the holiday.
Follow the cycle route around the Revine lakes towards Rolle, a beautiful hilltop village surrounded by vineyards. Enjoy your first wine tasting (included), before descending among the Prosecco vineyards to Miane on your ride back to the hotel.
Breakfast included
Ride towards Vidor where you cross the river Piave, once the scene of a great battle during the WWI. Reach Asolo, a picturesque medieval village known as 'the city of a hundred horizons', with its open-air museum surrounded by ancient walls. Afterwards, descend towards Bassano Del Grappa to visit the Poli Grappa museum (entrance ticket included) and enjoy a Grappa tasting (included) before crossing the famous wooden 'Old Bridge' dedicated to the Alpini troops. Return transfer to the hotel provided.
Breakfast included
Today you explore another important reality as far as oenology is concerned. You cycle across that strip of land covered by the Prosecco hills, in the very heart of the wine culture: you will see a succession of different landscapes, far horizons and vineyards will flow. From Col San Martino you continue to Colbertaldo and follow the road up towards Valdobbiadene, better known as the capital of the Prosecco along with Conegliano. You then head towards Guia where we have arranged a Prosecco tasting for you at a local winery (included). On the way you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Santo Stefano vineyards and if you have time we could have a break at the famous tavern Osteria senz'Oste where you can taste some of the local specialities in a great atmosphere before heading back to Follina and the Hotel dei Chiostri.
Breakfast included
Visit Treviso and have a stroll in the central square Piazza Dei Signori or the enchanted city of Venice, both of which are accessible by train from Conegliano.
Breakfast included
Cycle to Cison Valmarino, known as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, before following the route towards the beautiful Castello of San Salvatore in Susegana. Here, enjoy wine and local produce tasting at the Tenute Caldella estates, owned by the former professional cyclist Flavio Vanzella, who was time trial world champion and yellow jersey at the Tour de France. Your final stretch takes you to the castle in Collalto before cycling back to your hotel.

Here at Headwater we thrive on feedback and pride ourselves on our excellent customer service. Below is a small selection of reviews we've received from our satisfied customers.
Megan is always excellent, efficient and nice to speak with.
We both enjoyed our trip to Amalfi. Hotel was great although at first were a bit disappointed staying in the annex. However the food and staff were fantastic, we were really looked after. The walks were varied, were pretty demanding with the long stretches of steps. The walk via the nature reserve was our highlight, off the beaten track, stunning backdrop.
Headwater is always excellent - that's why I go back to them every time I do an activity holiday. The advisors are professional, helpful, friendly and very efficient and I am sure the holiday won't let me down.
Knowledgeable and efficient sales, though they suffered from slow computers and therefore long silences on the phone.
