If you care most about red wine, start with Verona and Valpolicella. If you want sparkling wine scenery, choose Conegliano Valdobbiadene. If you want white wines and a smaller-town feel, Soave is a strong choice. If you are already around Lake Garda, Bardolino and Lugana make practical sense.
Venice and Treviso are useful gateways for the Prosecco hills, while Padua points naturally toward Colli Euganei. Verona deserves special attention because it works so well as a city base for Valpolicella and Soave. Private drivers and local guides can be useful because tasting routes are rural, meals matter, and driving after tastings is not worth the risk.
