What To Expect

Make your way to the Osteria at Calle San Pantalon in Venice’s Dorsoduro neighborhood at 4:50pm. Show your voucher to the bartender, then take a seat for your wine and food tasting session at 5pm.

Sip on up to two high quality wines, and snack on cold cuts of meat and cheese alongside typical Venetian cicchetti. The much-loved small plates of food are served in the city's wine bars, and the bite-sized snacks are often created to compliment the wine.

As you eat, you’ll hear information about the different wines on offer, and you’ll also get tips to help you pair wine with food when you’re back at home. Your hour-long experience ends in the wine bar.

Best wine ever!!

Lauren_D, Mar 2026

Ilia was WONDERFUL!! This was the absolute best wine we have ever had. The tasting only allows you to pick 2 (full pours), but we liked it so much (and the others sounded so good), that we ended up staying and trying all 9 wines between the two of us. The tasting was only scheduled for an hour and we spent almost 3 hours hanging out and enjoying the space. This experience was a highlight on our tour of Italy.

Great wine selection

Robin_W, Mar 2025

Francisco the owner was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the wine choices. All the wine selections were perfection. The store was small, inviting and a warming atmosphere. This was an amazing experience thanks Francisco!

Wine Tasting and Beyond!

Jonathan_C, Jul 2024

Francesco was an amazing host. You cannot fake the love of wine, and he obviously loves wine. In addition to fully understanding the unique and diverse wines that he features, he really brings you up to speed on the narrative behind the wines, their history, and their processes. The food he served was outstanding as well
