La Dolce Vita: wine tasting on a classic boat
The best way to understand Venice is by stepping out in the lagoon that embraces it. There are many ways to do it, but a wine tasting trip on a 53 feet sailing boat from the early 1940s, with the skyline of Venice as a background, will likely be the most magical way to be introduced to the local grapes. Climb aboard and enjoy the ride through the maze of canals hidden below the water, coasting small islands and changing your view of Venice, until you reach the perfect spot for the captain to drop anchor. Our wine expert will select the most amazing wines to pair with the local ingredients, as a sort of sensory gym: an education on food and biodiversity, because everything we eat has something to tell us.
