In Venice the large number of “osterie” –wine bars- is not only due to mass tourism, lack of cars, and a slow pace.

We were inspired by the Palazzo Nani Bernardo lawn on the Grand Canal, nestled between the long Calle Bernardo and the impressive Ca’ Rezzonico dwelling, today Venice 18th century museum.
Its imposing size suggested Count Bernardo to demolish some old sheds in the backyard and create an Italian style garden.
As you step into the paved courtyard, a century old wisteria welcomes you: its twisted trunk resembles a stunning wooden sculpture that climbs vertically to the bower, and opens on a sequence of boxwood hedges up to the far brick wall.
A rich collection of colorful roses, bushes of jasmines, opulent begonias enliven the geometric pattern of pruned plants and add glamour to your experience.
Here are our tasting options:
– Sampling of four regional wines, ranging from top quality sparkling one to a Doc full bodied red wine, with a special emphasis on the latest enological trends.
During your tasting, your expert wine guide will impart some of the producer’s viticultural methods, philosophy and history.
