Such a great experience! Chiara was a wonderful hostess who was very knowledgeable and fun to get to know. Transportation from Venice via train was fast and efficient. The views were amazing and the landscape is beautiful! The staff at the vineyard and the olive oil mill were knowledgeable and personable. I really learned a lot! I’d definitely recommend this side trip if you’re visiting Venice. The scenery and fresh air of the countryside is a nice compliment to the art, architecture and urban fabric of Venice!

Really enjoyed our olive oil and wine tasting experience in the Euganean Hills. The train ride was very enjoyable and having the train tickets included in the tour cost was very convenient. Our tour guide was very nice and was very knowledgeable about the olive oil production process. The winery owners were very excellant hosts and provided very tasty wine and food pairings.

We enjoyed the olive oil and wine tour from Venice. The train was very nice and Chiara, our guide, picked us up from the station. We drove through beautiful countryside and enjoyed a tasting at an olive oil center. We ended at a winery with a tour of the vineyard and a tasting around the table with the vineyard owner. It was like having wine with old friends. Chiara was so friendly and welcoming. She told us a lot about the area and made our day really fun. Would recommend!

The tour with Lo Vivo was quite the experience. The extra virgin olive oil tour of Evo del Borgo, and wine tour of the Loreggian Wine Estate was for us undeniably, the unforgettable, quintessential Italian experience. This is what one favours travel to this country for - the food, the warm and accommodating hospitality and its people; the pristine countryside, with its rolling hills of wine estates and olive trees, and the constant exchange of "Grazie" and enthusiastic response "Prego" point to a culture embodying the attitude of gratitude. Wonderful! Martina was a superb host, from the time we arrived from Venice, she took gentle charge and guided us through the sites as she drove to Evo del Borgo. Did we forget to mention that she surprised her mother, whom we picked up on the way from her restaurant, with a day out shared with total strangers? It felt natural, despite the language barrier and constant interpretation by Martina, it was a magnetic camaraderie, with Mama jumping in with little quips of the tour that she felt her daughter had missed out on. Italy at it's best. Laughter and ease followed. At Evo del Borgo, we saw the olive oil manufacturing process. Preservation of flavour, aroma, and the true beauty that olive oil is. They even have a brand called Moonlight, where olives are picked on full moon nights and processed, and you can taste the difference between this oil and the rest. No hesitation in picking up a bottle that was reasonably priced. Martina then drove us to the wine estate, where Silvia, the owner and a qualified Viticultursit and Oenologist, met us upon arrival. She gave us a detailed vineyard tour, showing us vines up to seventy five years old. Seventy five! Through carefully preserved family tradition and constant adaptation, this vineyard has perfected their wine making that culminates in several variatals. The most notable one for us was the Moscato: double fermented and aged to perfection, resulting in a balanced fizz, and dry, flowery-citrus aroma. Of course, we picked a bottle of this as well. To summarise, if you're considering an intimate olive oil and wine tour in the Veneto region of Italy, then look no further than Martina and Lo Vivo! Attention to detail, a rich history in culture, stunning architecture, and an explosion of flavours that sums up just this one region of a beautiful country - this is it.
