Venice
"If food is the body of good living, wine is its soul." ~ Clifton Fadiman
In the city of water it is surely wine that flows. The wine bars serve more than 50,000 glasses a day! Our Venice wine tasting tours will show you on a different aspect of the city, one other than the Gondola moving smoothly on the canals.
Venice imported new grapes from the island of Crete, Greece, the Dalmatian coast, and since then vineyards have became a feature of the Veneto landscape. Today the region holds a national record with 53 million gallons of wine produced every year!
Venice wine tours
Our Venice wine tour packages will give you a vastly different experience from others the wine tasting being conducted in the presence of a Sommelier who will ask you about the sensations and impressions about the wine. This is to help you understand the true spirit of the land it came from, telling you of its history and its organic characteristics and its versatility in matching it with food. Each tasting will take place in a bar which is chosen for quality, called the “Osteria”
The Osteria
This quality wine and food bar is scattered around Venice. Visitors who are food or wine aficionados who do not have the time to visit the vineyards and experience viticulture are offered several selections – the vineyard comes to meet them at the Osterias in Venice. On our wine tours in Venice you could enjoy the novel Osteria experience.
The Choices
These are some of the best in the region and naturally some of the famed selections from Veneto.
Prosecco (refreshing light and bubbly)
Soave ( dry white wine)
Pinot Grigio (fruity, elegant, full bodied wine)
Valpolicella Ripasso (warm and harmonious with a toasty and elegant aftertaste)
Amarone (Full bodied red wine, the King of Italian wines)
You have to go with the flow on this wine tour Venice.
