Culinary Places in Venice

Culinary Places in Venice brings together some of the city's most characterful settings for food and drink experiences rooted in Italian tradition. Venice has long been shaped by its position as a trading crossroads, and that history is reflected in the ingredients, techniques, and spirits that define its culinary culture. Grappa, distilled from the grape pomace left after winemaking, is among the most distinctly Italian of those traditions, and a guided tasting here offers a structured introduction to its regional varieties, production methods, and the differences between aged and unaged expressions.

The guided grappa tasting experience is led by knowledgeable hosts who walk guests through a curated selection of bottles, explaining the characteristics of each and the role grappa has played in Italian life from the Alpine north to the Venetian lagoon. It is an experience suited to those with a genuine interest in Italian food and drink culture, offering context and conversation alongside the tasting itself.
