Luxury Natural Wine Tasting with Cicchetti in Venice

Three curated natural wines, three traditional Venetian bites, one unforgettable afternoon in the lagoon city.


This natural wine tasting in Venice brings together three thoughtfully selected bottles and the city's most beloved small plates in a cozy, intimate wine bar setting. A knowledgeable host guides each pairing, offering context on the producers, the grapes, and the traditions behind every glass.

Venice has long held a deep relationship with wine and cicchetti culture, a tradition rooted in neighborhood bars called bacari where locals gather to sip and share. This experience draws on that heritage while elevating it with a curated selection of top-tier natural wines chosen for their purity and artisanal character.

The tasting moves through three distinct styles: a lively sparkling Prosecco, a clean and mineral-driven Bianco, and a structured Rosso, each paired with a polpette cicchetto to complement the flavors. The session is relaxed and conversational, making it equally suited for wine enthusiasts and curious first-timers.

Guests who do not drink alcohol are accommodated with a juice or soda pairing alongside the cicchetti, ensuring every participant can engage fully with the tasting experience regardless of age or preference.
