Most of us crave Spring by the end of Winter - as soon as that first 't-shirt day' hits we avidly search the countryside for a new oasis to explore and enjoy.
The King Valley is one such oasis. Known for beautiful weather year round, Spring delivers an average high of 20 degrees and just seven days a month rainfall. The valley’s continental climate provides warm days and cool nights, and the variance in elevation is why the King Valley region can produce such a wide range of wine styles.
If you're curious but not sure where to start, start at Prosecco Road. Wines of The King Valley have released a swag of new experiences to suit all types of travellers ...
Fancy some yoga amongst the vines followed by a Prosecco breakfast? Or for later risers, perhaps a Prosecco brunch of luscious local produce? Glide from winery to winery on an e-bike, learn to pair delicious food with Prosecco, or have it done for you! Finish off your wonderful day under the stars, glamping, or in deluxe accommodation with an Italian feast fit for royalty.
Heaven!
