Venice & Treviso: 4-Day Short Italian Break｜Italy

Day 1: Treviso

Arrive in Treviso and meet your local guide. Join an orientation walk along Treviso’s cobbled streets, leafy canals, and lively piazzas. Learn how Tiramisu was invented here and stop for a sweet treat at Dassie Gelateria, an award-winning local institution known for its artisanal gelato made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Whether you go for a classic stracciatella or something bold like fig and walnut, it’s the perfect way to cool off and connect with Treviso’s sweeter side. Tonight, get to know your fellow travelers at a welcome dinner and indulge in one of the city’s famous sweet treats for dessert.

Day 2: Treviso

Venture by train into the heart of Italy’s prosecco wine region, where gently rolling hills cradle sun-drenched vineyards and villages. When you arrive in Conegliano, set off on a bike ride along scenic routes that weave through the vines and learn about the region’s biodiversity and cultivation methods from passionate local producers.

After, settle in for a guided tasting of five exceptional wines at a local vineyard. Pair your tasting with a generous charcuterie board featuring fresh and aged cheeses, artisanal salami, pickled vegetables, and sweet-and-sour radicchio. Then, cycle back to the train station where you’ll take the train back to Treviso. Tonight, maybe find a local restaurant for dinner – there’s no shortage in Italy!

Day 3: Venice

This morning, board a train to Venice Santa Lucia. Known for its canals, Venice comprises hundreds of small islands connected by nearly 400 bridges. When you arrive, set off on a leader-led orientation walk. Visit some of the city’s most famous landmarks such as the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge, Doge's Palace, the Piazza San Marco, and the evocative Ponte Dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs).

Later, join a cicchetti and wine Urban Adventure. Get the lowdown on Venice with a local by your side and discover the secrets of the iconic and oh-so-Italian aperitivo. Drink like a Venetian at some of the most authentic bacari wine bars, cross the famous canal in a traghetto gondola (like the locals do), and explore the heart of the city – Rialto.

Day 4: Treviso

After breakfast, hop aboard an electric boat and take the helm yourself. As you cruise along the calm waters, you’ll pass by fabulous villas and the beautiful Cimitero dei Burci – a semi-submerged graveyard of abandoned wooden barges, now reclaimed by nature. After, maybe join your fellow travelers for one last lunch – a great way to say arrivederci to your time in Italy.
