7-day itinerary
Adriatic to Alps
Venice → Friuli → Dolomites edge. Quiet power, mountain air, and the kind of access that doesn’t announce itself.
The arc
Days 1–7
- Day 1: Arrive Venice. Water arrival if desired. Evening: lagoon-side dinner, no clichés.
- Day 2: Venice morning (private perspective). Afternoon chauffeur transfer to Friuli. Welcome tasting: Collio or Grave.
- Day 3: Frecciarossa segment (where useful) + private visit: design or maker session (Touring/Pininfarina window as routing allows).
- Day 4: Drive day: curated Dolomites edge roads, stops chosen for light and silence. Lunch: mountain product, done right.
- Day 5: Workshop day: artisan visits (wood, leather, metalwork) that tie back to the coachbuilder world.
- Day 6: High-altitude morning. Private cellar or chef experience in the evening. Optional Venice return.
- Day 7: Chauffeur to Venice/Verona/Treviso/Milan as required. Depart.

Notes
- Best base debate: Venice is efficient; the Dolomites are mythic. This itinerary gives you both without the slog.
- Chauffeur coverage: Friuli, Veneto, Lombardy, Dolomites, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Puglia.
- Pace: high contrast. You’ll have both silence and spectacle.
What this is (and isn’t)
- It is: a high-trust itinerary with real access and real logistics.
- It isn’t: a checklist. We adjust daily to weather, openings, and your energy.
- Driving: always on curated roads. Safety briefings. No heroics required.
