La Tordera · Valdobbiadene DOCG

From the cellar door to the Cartizze, by e‑bike

A self-guided day through the Prosecco Hills, starting and ending at La Tordera.

The Vettoretti family has been making wine in these hills since 1918, when grandfather Giuseppe planted his first vineyard on the Cartizze hill. Today La Tordera’s wines come from three distinct terroirs: the Cartizze, the steep Rive of Guia and the old vineyards on the hills of Vidor. This ride starts at the winery’s door in Vidor and takes you through that same landscape, from the saddle: small roads and gravel tracks among the vineyards, far from the usual routes.
