What to expect
You'll meet your guide and move between intimate bars where locals gather, stopping at four venues to taste progressively different spritz interpretations. Between tastings, food arrives—small plates, sandwiches—to settle the drinks and keep pace manageable. Your guide will point out architectural details, explain how Venetians approach aperitivo as social ritual rather than rushed drinking, and navigate you through the Ghetto's narrow alleys, sharing how this quarter functioned historically. Expect cobblestones, some standing, conversational pacing rather than rushed instruction.
