Описание
You will stroll through cozy old streets and visit traditional cafes where Venetians love to spend their time. I will tell you about the peculiarities of local snacks, what is customary to eat and drink, where Brodsky liked to sit, and which cocktails were born in the 'city on the water'. You will try famous Italian wines, learn what 'chicheti', 'bakari' and 'tramadzino' are, spend a delicious and soulful time, and fall even more in love with Venice!
What to Expect
Legendary cafes of Brodsky and Casanova and secret spots
You will visit traditional Venetian pubs 'bakari', located in tiny alleys away from tourist routes. It is here that locals often meet at the end of the day for a casual conversation. You will peek into 'bakari', where the famous Casanova liked to sit with a glass of wine, and be impressed by the centuries-old ambiance of this establishment. I will show you the cafe where Brodsky often lingered, contemplating life and observing the 'busy loneliness' of Venice. Red wine lovers will be taken to a place with the city's largest selection of Amarone. And enthusiasts of 'sparkling' wines will definitely enjoy a 'bakari' with excellent Prosecco. If you wish, you will also taste white Soave, Sauvignon, or Chardonnay.
Tasting of local snacks, wines, and cocktails
During the walk, you will hear stories from the lives of famous Venetians and learn about the traditions and daily life of modern citizens. I will tell you what 'metodo classico' is, why the same grape variety has a different taste at different wineries, why Italian Prosecco is not Champagne, and which local drinks are most similar to it. In addition to wines, we will pay attention to cocktails - I will share the recipe for a true Venetian spritz, bellini, and rossini. We won't forget about delicious 'chicheti' snacks - you will get to know the 'tramadzino' sandwich, 'bakala' cod, and unusually prepared sardines, marvel at the simplicity, warmth, and quality of local cuisine!
