With its strategic position near Italy’s premier Prosecco and Amarone vineyards, the “Floating City” is an ideal base for sampling top Veneto wines. Sip in the city or head directly to the source with these Venice wine tastings in central bacari (traditional wine bars) or the wineries dotting the hills just north and west of Venice. Many wine adventures pair your tipples with nibbles from classic Venetian cicchetti (small bites) to full winery lunches. Skip the hassle of researching producers and arranging transport and instead imbibe stress-free with a guided wine tasting in or near Venice.
