Exclusive Tour of the Vineyards with Visit to the Cellar!

At Tenuta Mani Sagge, the best part comes before the tasting: you walk through the estate’s old vineyards above San Pietro di Feletto, with the UNESCO Prosecco hills spread out around you. Then you step into the restored stables, now home to the estate’s unusual Invisible Cellar, and see how the wine moves from grape to glass.

I like the way this tour joins a real family winery with a generous tasting rather than treating the cellar as a quick photo stop. I also like the personal touch from owner Marco and guide Sara, who explain the estate and its wines in a relaxed, direct way.

The main consideration is timing. Two hours goes quickly, and the estate sits outside Treviso, so you will need to plan your transport carefully. Comfortable shoes matter, too, since the visit includes paths on a hillside rather than only paved rooms.

Key points at a glance

• A hilltop view of the Prosecco Superiore area: Walk among old vines and look across the UNESCO-listed hills from the estate.
• A restored stable turned wine cellar: The Invisible Cellar gives the tasting a strong sense of place and shows how an old farm building has been reused.
• A family story spanning more than 100 years: Marco shares the background of Mani Sagge and its approach to Prosecco and other wines.
• Several wines, not just one glass: Taste different Prosecco Superiore DOCG styles along with other cellar wines, including Pinot Grigio on some tastings.
• Local food with the wine: The tasting includes a plate of salami and cheeses, useful for comparing how the wines work with food.
• A private experience for your group: Only your party takes part, which allows the guide to keep the pace personal.

Starting among the vines at San Pietro di Feletto

You meet at Mani Sagge, the winery, inn, agriturismo, and wine bar at Via Manzana 46 in San Pietro di Feletto. The scheduled start is 10:30 a.m., and the experience lasts about two hours before returning to the same place.

The setting is the first reason to come. This is not a tasting room in a town center. The estate sits among the Prosecco hills, where vineyards climb and fold across the countryside. From the top of the property, you can admire the UNESCO setting that gives this corner of the Veneto its special character.

I would arrive with enough time to find the meeting point without rushing. The tour begins with an introduction to the company and its family story, said to reach back more than a century. That background helps put the wines in context. You are not simply tasting a regional product. You are seeing a working estate shaped by several generations of farming and winemaking.

The private format is useful here. Because only your group participates, you can ask about the vines, production, or the estate’s other wines without worrying about holding up a large crowd. The exact pace can depend on your group, but the format should feel more like a conversation than a scheduled presentation.

Walking the estate and its UNESCO hills

The walking portion takes you along some of the prettiest paths on the property. You see the older vineyards and reach a higher point with views over the Prosecco hills.

This walk gives the tasting a necessary sense of place. Prosecco can be easy to treat as a generic sparkling wine, especially when it appears on menus far from northern Italy. Here, you can connect the bottle with sloping vineyards, local farming, and the particular hill country around Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.

You should wear comfortable shoes. The advice is practical, not decorative. The route includes estate paths and hillside ground, so this is not an entirely indoor activity. The information provided does not give a precise walking distance or state how steep every section is, but anyone who prefers firm, easy surfaces should keep the outdoor portion in mind.

The walk also breaks up the tasting in a good way. You begin with the view and the vines, learn about the property, and only then sit down with the wines. That order makes the glasses in front of you easier to understand.

Entering the Invisible Cellar in the old stables

The cellar occupies ancient stables that have undergone a careful restoration. Mani Sagge calls it the Invisible Cellar, an unusual name for a space that links the estate’s older agricultural life with its current wine production.

You visit the cellar to follow the stages that lead to the finished wine. The description promises a step-by-step look at the process, from the vineyard through production and finally to tasting. The level of technical detail may vary with the group and guide, but the purpose is clear: to show what happens before the cork comes out.

This part will suit you if you want more than a scenic glass of Prosecco. Marco, the owner, has been described as especially good at explaining both the wines and the future of the wine industry. Sara has also guided the visit, bringing a warm and well-prepared approach to the estate and its bottles.

The restored building adds something that a modern industrial cellar might not. You are seeing a working wine space inside an older farm structure, not a stage set built solely for visitors. The result should appeal to anyone who likes architecture, reuse, and the everyday side of rural Italy.

Tasting Prosecco Superiore DOCG with local food

The tasting is the heart of the visit. You try different types of Prosecco Superiore DOCG along with other wines from the cellar. Past tastings have included Pinot Grigio, and the selection may include several Prosecco styles rather than one standard pour.

The DOCG designation matters because it identifies Prosecco Superiore from the protected production area in the hills around Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. You do not need to arrive with technical wine knowledge. The useful part is comparing the wines side by side and asking how the differences come from the grapes, the production method, or the character of the place.

The food is simple and appropriate: a plate of salami and cheeses. I prefer this kind of pairing to a large meal during a short tasting. The salt and fat in the cured meat and cheese give you a clear way to judge the wines, and the food keeps the alcohol from arriving on an empty stomach.

The tasting is described as generous, but the exact number of pours is not specified. You should not assume a fixed flight or a particular bottle list. What is clear is that you will taste more than one Prosecco and also have the chance to try other wines produced by Mani Sagge.

Some tastings take place on the patio, where the views add to the pleasure of the meal. That setting can be a real highlight on a clear day. It also means the outdoor portion may be affected by weather, so bring sensible clothing for the season.

What the price of $82.91 includes

At $82.91 per person, this is not the cheapest way to drink Prosecco in the Treviso area. You are paying for a private two-hour visit, a walk through a hillside estate, a cellar tour, a guided tasting, and food. For a casual drink, the price would be hard to justify. For a private winery visit with a strong setting, it is more reasonable.

The value improves if you care about personal attention. A large commercial tasting might cost less, but it may also give you less time with the producer and less connection to the property. Here, Marco may lead the visit himself, and Sara has guided other sessions. The private setup gives you room to ask questions and spend time on the wines you find most interesting.

The estate also operates an agriturismo, with rooms and breakfast. You do not need to stay overnight to take the tour, but the property makes a natural base for a longer visit. If you already plan to spend time in the Prosecco hills, the tasting can fit neatly into a day of exploring. Several visitors have wished they had booked a room, which suggests the setting has enough appeal for more than a quick stop.

Still, keep your expectations realistic. The price does not appear to include transport from Treviso, Conegliano, or elsewhere. It also does not promise a full lunch, a specific bottle lineup, or a long technical seminar. You are buying a focused introduction to one estate and its wines.

Getting there from Treviso and Conegliano

The meeting point is in San Pietro di Feletto, at Mani Sagge, Via Manzana 46. The experience ends there as well, so you must arrange your own return transport.

The location is outside the main urban centers, but it can be reached by public transport with some planning. One route described for the estate involves taking a train to Conegliano, then bus 43 for roughly 10 minutes, followed by a walk of about 15 to 20 minutes. Check current schedules before setting out, since rural bus service can be less frequent than city transport.

If you are driving, the fixed meeting point makes the visit simpler, but remember that you will be tasting several wines. A designated driver is the sensible choice. If nobody in your group wants to drive afterward, an overnight stay at the agriturismo could make the experience more comfortable, though accommodation is separate from the tour details provided here.

The 10:30 a.m. start works well for a morning visit. You can finish around lunchtime and continue through the nearby Prosecco hills, or make the winery the main activity of your day. Since the tour lasts only about two hours, it is easy to combine with other plans, provided you allow extra time for transport.

Who will enjoy this private winery visit

I would recommend Mani Sagge most strongly to people who want a personal introduction to Prosecco rather than a quick commercial tasting. Couples, families, and small groups who appreciate scenery, local food, and a direct connection with the producer should find the format appealing.

It also suits wine drinkers who want to compare styles. The range of Prosecco Superiore DOCG wines and additional cellar wines gives you a better sense of the estate than a single signature bottle would. Pinot Grigio may also appear, adding a useful contrast to the sparkling wines.

The tour is less suitable if you want a full-day food program, a long vineyard trek, or a highly technical course in wine production. The visit is short and focused. You get the estate story, the outdoor walk, the cellar, and the tasting, but not an entire day of activities.

Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. You should still be comfortable walking on estate paths and wearing suitable shoes. If you have allergies, intolerances, or other food restrictions, tell the provider in advance so the salami and cheese service can be handled properly.

A good match for a Prosecco-focused day

Book this tour if you want to see where Prosecco Superiore comes from, taste several versions in one sitting, and enjoy the hills without joining a large group. The views, restored cellar, and family-run setting give it more substance than a bar tasting.

I would skip it only if transport to San Pietro di Feletto is too awkward, or if you want a full meal and a much longer winery program. For everyone else, the combination of Marco or Sara, the old vineyards, the Invisible Cellar, and the salami-and-cheese tasting offers a well-balanced two-hour visit. Just wear good shoes, plan your ride home, and tell the estate about food restrictions before you arrive.
