What to expect

Expect a casual, conversational three-hour ramble through Venice with purpose. Your guide—a local brewer and rugby player—leads you on foot across the city's bridges and through its squares, stopping at select bars rather than marching to landmarks. At each stop, you'll taste two craft beers chosen to showcase local styles, with suggested food pairings (cicchetti) though you're free to pick your own. The pace mixes walking with lingering; bring comfortable shoes and moderate fitness. Tastings happen in moderation—this is exploration, not a pub crawl.
