There’s a side of Venice most travelers never truly taste.
Not the rushed glass of wine in a crowded square. Not the overpriced tourist menu. But something quieter, more intimate… more real.
Just steps away from the energy of St. Mark’s Square, a different Venice begins—one made of small glasses, slow conversations, and flavors that have been part of local life for centuries.
This is where your wine journey starts.
A Wine Experience Designed Like a Story
This isn’t just a tasting. It’s a carefully curated journey through Northern Italy, designed to help you understand—not just drink—Venetian wine culture.
Each experience includes:
- 4 selected wines (7 cl per glass)
- A pairing of traditional Venetian cicchetti
- A relaxed, intimate setting away from the crowds
- The freedom to choose your own tasting path
Every glass is chosen to tell a story. Every bite is designed to elevate it.
Choose Your Tasting Journey
When you arrive, you’ll select one of four unique tasting paths—each offering a different perspective on Italian wine.
Sparkling Selection
Light, elegant, and celebratory.
A refined journey through four sparkling wines:
Prosecco, Rosé, traditional method wines, and Champagne.
Perfect for those who appreciate freshness, finesse, and a refined start.
Valpolicella Reds
Deep, bold, and structured.
Explore one of Italy’s most iconic wine regions through:
Valpolicella Classico, Ripasso, Amarone, and Recioto.
A progression from light to powerful, rich in history and personality.
White Wines of the Northeast
Crisp, mineral, and expressive.
Discover the elegance of Northern Italy’s white wines:
Soave, Lugana, Collio Friulano, and Torcolato.
A journey through terroir, freshness, and subtle complexity.
Rosé and Venetian Tradition
Unexpected, authentic, and memorable.
A more unconventional pairing featuring three rosé wines served alongside sarde in saor, one of Venice’s most iconic dishes.
A perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and tradition.
The Art of Cicchetti Pairing
In Venice, food is never just food—it’s part of everyday life.
Your tasting is accompanied by a selection of Venetian cicchetti, small bites designed to enhance each wine:
- Creamy textures paired with structured reds
