Experience an authentic Italian wine tasting just a few steps from St. Mark’s Square, inside the elegant and historic atmosphere of Trattoria La Colomba. During this relaxed guided experience, you will taste 4 carefully selected Italian wines, served in a balanced progression from fresh and sparkling to richer and more structured. Begin with a glass of Prosecco, continue with a refined white wine from the Venetian hills, enjoy a delicate rosé, and finish with a full-bodied red wine. Each wine is paired with traditional Venetian cicchetti, the small local bites that Venetians love to enjoy with a glass of wine. The pairings are designed to highlight the aromas, texture, and character of each label, giving you a real taste of the Venetian aperitivo. A Wine Expert will guide you through the tasting in a simple and engaging way. You will learn how to recognize the main aromas, understand the differences between the wines, and discover why each bite has been chosen to match the glass.

    Great wine but not exactly as expected

    It wasn't what we expected, but we had a great time. We showed up at La Columba restaurant and we're promptly seated and they just started the wine experience. The bartender on site didn't speak much English so we didn't learn a lot. But the wines and cicchetti were amazing and we had a good time drinking wine and chatting anyway.

    received no information...

    received no information regarding the wines during the tasting. We Did receive 4 wines that were generous pour, the food tastings with it were not good though

    Not as advertised

    They were surprised to see us, did not read the comments I had put on the booking about a food sensitivity and we had 1 pairing of prosecco, plus wine, not as advertised. Only first serving of prosecco was served with the snack. The wait staff ignored us after providing our last sample of wine. We wished we had the experience that some had written in the reviews.

    Tour

    Very personal experience. Highly recommend this tour. The shop operator was very knowledgeable about Prosecco and walked us through each tasting.

    Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.

    How much does Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.

    Is Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Venetian Wine & Prosecco Tasting Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Venice?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Venice Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with wine by Cooking Italy, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Tour of The Real Hidden Venice. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Venice?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Venice?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
