We planned our first evening experiencing a wine tasting with Venetian Vines. Due to plane cancellations and delays, we arrived in Venice 30 minutes before our date with Nan, of Venetian Vines. After calling to advise her that we might be a little late, she offered to meet us part way to La Cantina so that we wouldn't get lost....

Owner description:
Not your everyday cabernet!In the city of San Marco, wine has always been more popular than water. In fact, the local bàcari (wine bars) serve an average of 50,000 glasses of wine every day. So naturally, we’re very serious about what we drink, especially given the abundant choice of excellent, affordable wines at our fingertips. How it breaks are hearts to see so many visitors come and go without trying any of them!The Venetian Vine goes far beyond the everyday wine tasting: informative, practical, entertaining — without a trace of uppity, your trained specialist and sommelier will introduce you to some of the most varied and delightful wines around. Our focus is on distinctive wines from native varieties of the Tri-Veneto and all of Italy, chosen specifically for their quality and diversity, paired with some of the best cicchetti around.Drink Different. Drink the Venetian Vine!

I suppose I should heed my own advice when it comes to “Things to do” from T.A. Where three out of the five reviews are from contributors with only one or two reviews to their names - tread with caution.
Anyhow, I didn’t actually attend the wine tasting, for reasons I will outline below. The tasting may well be an...

Not only does Nan possess a serious knowledge of Italian wines, she is an absolute delight. Our "Lessons of the Vine" session was one of the highlights of our recent trip to Venice. We also thoroughly enjoyed the venue with some of the best cicchetti we have ever eaten.

We did the Venetian Vine class with Nan the first day we were in Venice, and it was a great experience. The class was extremely informative and really fun. Also, the place Nan took us for the class had amazing food- some of the best we had in Venice. I highly recommend the Venetian Vine. Try to schedule it towards...

I learned of this wine tasting through the excellent blog livingVENICE, whose creator is also the author of the even-more-excellent book: Italy: Instructions for Use. I am an experienced traveler in Italy, and have been to Venice several times. I also thought I new Italian wines, especially the reds, pretty thoroughly. At this tasting I found some new wines to...

I'm so glad you learned some new things in our "vine session." With experienced folks one never knows if we'll only be doing a refresher course! Thank you for your kind comments about the blog and the Instructions too -- they're very much appreciated.

My husband and I attended A Venetian Vine session towards the beginning of our month stay in Venice. Neither of us knows a huge amount about wines, and I, in fact, would usually just order Pinot Grigio and never try anything else. Nan, who was the session leader, was extremely knowledgeable about Italian wines and especially those from the Veneto...
