What’s a Good Day Trip from Venice?

Venice is one of the most magical cities in the world — but even La Serenissima has her limits. Maybe you’ve seen St. Mark’s Basilica, floated through the canals, and survived a gondola traffic jam. Or maybe you’re simply ready to explore a bit more of Northern Italy.

So, you’re asking:

“What’s a good day trip from Venice?”

Well, we’re glad you asked — because at Tour Leader Venice, we specialize in day trips that go way beyond the usual guidebook clichés. Whether you’re a wine lover, a car fanatic, or just someone who wants to escape the crowds and dive into Italy’s countryside (or its horsepower), we’ve got you covered.

In this article, we’ll share two of our most unforgettable, exclusive day trips from Venice:

1. 🍾 A sparkling escape to the Prosecco Hills

2. 🏎️ A high-octane adventure to Ferrari and Lamborghini country

Let’s hit the road — with style, comfort, and a glass (or engine) full of excitement.

1. 🍇 Day Trip to the Prosecco Hills — Bubbles, Beauty & Bellissimo Views

If you think “Prosecco” is just what you order before brunch, get ready to have your mind (and taste buds) blown.

🥂 What Is It?

The Prosecco Hills, just 90 minutes north of Venice, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to Italy’s most iconic sparkling wine. Picture gentle green hills, twisting vineyard rows, medieval villages, and wine cellars hidden beneath the earth.

This isn’t just a wine tasting. It’s a journey through the senses — with stories, scenery, and sips that will stay with you long after the bubbles fade.

🚗 What’s Included?

With Tour Leader Venice, your Prosecco day trip includes:

• ✅ Private transfer with a local driver (no trains, no stress)

• ✅ Scenic drive through the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene wine region

• ✅ Visits to family-run wineries, not commercial tourist traps

• ✅ Tasting sessions of DOCG Prosecco (the real deal)

• ✅ Optional vineyard lunch with local cheeses, cured meats, and fresh pasta

• ✅ Behind-the-scenes cellar tours with actual winemakers

🍷 Why It’s Perfect

• No crowds, no rush — just fresh air, warm hosts, and great wine.

• You’ll learn the difference between Brut, Extra Dry, and Cartizze (yes, that’s a thing).

• The photo ops? Straight out of a dream.

This is Italy at its sparkling best — and we handle all the driving, booking, and translating so you can just enjoy the ride (and the refills).

2. 🏁 Day Trip to Ferrari & Lamborghini Country — Fast Cars, Big Smiles

Now for something completely different: welcome to Motor Valley — where the air smells like fuel, leather, and adrenaline.

If you’re the kind of person who loves the purr of a V8 engine, or if you’ve ever dreamed of test-driving a Ferrari through the Italian countryside, this day trip is your fuel-injected fantasy.

🏎️ What Is It?

In the region of Emilia-Romagna, about 2.5 hours from Venice, you’ll find the homeland of Italy’s most legendary supercars — Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Pagani.

Here, we take you on an unforgettable tour of speed, style, and sheer Italian engineering genius.

🧭 What’s Included?

With Tour Leader Venice, your Ferrari & Lamborghini day trip includes:

• ✅ Private round-trip transfer from Venice (car + licensed local escort)

• ✅ Guided visit to the Ferrari Museum in Maranello

• ✅ Optional Ferrari test drive experience (yes, YOU drive!)

• ✅ Stop at the Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata Bolognese

• ✅ Optional visit to the Pagani Atelier for ultra-exotic car lovers

• ✅ Free time in Modena or Bologna for lunch and exploring

• ✅ Optional upgrade: factory tour (when available)

🔧 Bonus: Drive a Ferrari (Seriously)

Choose from 10-15 minute street drives, 30-minute extended drives through hills, or even track drives (for the truly brave).

A professional co-pilot rides with you, coaching your every move — and helping you look cooler than you’ve ever looked before.

FAQ: “Do I need to be a car expert to enjoy it?”

Not at all. You just need to appreciate beauty, design, and going really, really fast. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for what makes Italian car culture so iconic — whether you’re into engines or not.

Prosecco or Ferrari? Why Not Both?

Can’t decide? Here’s how to choose the best day trip from Venice based on your vibe:

We can also arrange multi-day custom trips that combine both. One day you’re sipping bubbles in a vineyard, the next you’re roaring down the road in a Lamborghini. Why not?

Why Book a Day Trip With Tour Leader Venice?

You could try to DIY these trips, sure. But you’d be wrangling:

• Train schedules (good luck)

• Taxi rides in small towns with no taxis

• Museum tickets that sell out

• Wine tastings that don’t speak English

• Trying to find a GPS signal in vineyard country

Or… you could let us handle everything.

With us, you get:

✅ Private transport from Venice with reliable, English-speaking drivers
✅ Licensed local escorts who make the journey part of the experience
✅ Carefully selected authentic experiences (not tourist traps)
✅ Flexible timing, VIP upgrades, and local connections
✅ A stress-free day you’ll actually enjoy and remember

Plus, we’re not a third-party reseller. We’re based in Venice, and we actually know the people, the places, and the best trattorias along the way.
