Venice to the Prosecco Hills: Train, Bus, Car or Tour

The short answer

Times and fares were checked on 23 September 2026 on the operators’ sites and Google Maps. They change, so check again before you go.

By train to Conegliano

Direct regional trains leave Venezia Santa Lucia for Conegliano about every 20–30 minutes, from 05:01 to 23:01, every day of the week.

• Regionale Veloce (RV): about 50 minutes, usually leaving at :01 past the hour (08:01 arrives 08:51).
• Regionale (RE): 56–68 minutes, usually leaving at :13, with extra trains at :31 and :43.
• Fare: €6.60 one way from Santa Lucia, €5.85 from Mestre (37 minutes on the RV).
• Last trains back: direct trains run until about 23:00 (22:01 → 22:52 and 23:01 → 23:52 on the day we checked).

Conegliano station sits at the edge of the old town. The Duomo, Contrada Granda and the path up to the castle are a short walk. See the Conegliano guide.

By bus to Valdobbiadene

Valdobbiadene has no railway station. Buses are run by MOM (Mobilità di Marca), the Treviso province bus company.

• Line 132, Conegliano → Valdobbiadene: about 55 minutes via Pieve di Soligo and Col San Martino. There are roughly 10–12 buses on school-term weekdays. Example: Conegliano Ruio 10:55 → Valdobbiadene 11:50. Last return on the day we checked: Valdobbiadene 19:20 → Conegliano 20:20.
• Line 110, Treviso → Montebelluna → Valdobbiadene: about 1 hour 10 minutes, roughly hourly on weekdays from 06:20 to 19:50.
• Sundays: line 110 runs only 4 buses from Treviso (13:15, 14:15, 16:15, 19:15). We found no Sunday timetable for line 132 from Conegliano, so don’t count on it.
• Tickets: on board, €5 (up to 12 km), €7 (12–30 km) or €8 (30–50 km). You can tap a contactless card or phone, one traveller per card.
• Some runs are marked “Riservata Abbonati”, for pass holders only.

The catch: buses connect the towns, not the wineries. Many wineries are up small roads in the hills. Without a car or a tour, plan on one booked winery within walking distance of your bus stop, or a taxi booked ahead.

By car

Google Maps estimates, checked on a Wednesday (23 September 2026), fastest route:

Rental cars are picked up at Piazzale Roma or the airports; you can’t drive in Venice itself. In the hills the roads are narrow and winding. The real limit is the tasting: the driver has to skip it.

Taxis and private drivers

• Co.Ta.Co. (Consorzio Taxi Conegliano): +39 0438 410210. It lists runs to Valdobbiadene and to Venice airport. It publishes no fares, so ask for a price when you book.
• Private hire with driver (NCC): several companies offer day hire around the hills, some of them members of the Strada del Prosecco. Agree the price and hours in writing.
• We found no source for taxi ranks in Valdobbiadene or the villages. Assume you must book.

By guided tour

A day tour picks you up in Venice (or meets you at a station), drives you to one or two family wineries and usually includes lunch. It’s the only option where everyone can taste and nobody plans the route. Full-day tours on GetYourGuide cost about €127–189 per person.
