Description:

If you are staying in Venice for only a few days and do not have time to visit the renowned Italian vineyards directly, this is a great opportunity to sample 4 different types of Venetian cicchetti (tapas) and taste 4 of the most important wines of the Veneto region in a typical osteria (local bar).

Meet new people and get to know local Venetians as you taste some delicious appetizers paired with some of the best wines of the Veneto region. As you sip a variety of wines, ranging from light white wine to a full-bodied red, learn the history of the Venetian grape and its use in many of the household wines. Your local host also explains how best to pair certain wines with different food.

You have the chance to taste the following 4 wines: Prosecco Bio, refreshing, light and bubbly; Ribolla Gialla, a dry white wine; Refosco, warm and harmonious with a toasty and elegant aftertaste; and Ripasso, a full-bodied red wine.
