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.

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 regarding the wines during the tasting. We Did receive 4 wines that were generous pour, the food tastings with it were not good though
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.
Quant wine shop with a personal wine tasting and cheese plate. Our host was wonderful and very accommodating . We had 6 bottles shipped to USA for very reasonable price
Very personal experience. Highly recommend this tour. The shop operator was very knowledgeable about Prosecco and walked us through each tasting.
The wines was delicious and the waitstaff were very kind. The restaurant was clean and quit. We had a great time
This was fun! The vibes were good, but without the other reviews, we would have had a really hard time finding it. It's in the Serafina rooftop bar - which nowhere in the description does it say that. Because we went at a slower time, we had the whole rooftop to ourselves! But the tasting was a bit more laid back than we were expecting. We only got 1 appetizer (which the description says we should've gotten 2) and we explicitly picked the prosecco tasting and what we were given was not prosecco - don't get me wrong, it was still fun and we went with the flow but it wasn't exactly what we paid for. The guy serving us was also really nice and gave us good info on the wines we tasted.
The place was hard to find at first. The map takes you to the side of a public building, but it’s actually a restaurant/bar about 10 meters away. When we got in there (not sure if it’s the right place) the waiter who greeted us was super confused before some other man came over and took us to the rooftop bar. No views of Venice from the rooftop as it’s covered over in the winter. The wine tasting was more like here are 3 glasses of wine and some nibbles. Not a “traditional” tasting session, and not all local wines either. But it was good value for money for 3 large glasses of wine and the local snacks. Just don’t expect a classic wine tasting experience, more a voucher for some drinks and nibbles in a restaurant.
Do not book with this tour or this group!! Frauds! They never showed up to the tour meeting spot. I was there 5 minutes early, as suggested by their virtual robot assistant on Viator and was given two addresses, one right next to the other, and the host was nowhere to be found! Viator would not provide direct contact for the host and couldn’t even reach them! And then they rejected my refund request! Outrageous! I will be reporting this as fraud to my bank as well.
This tasting took place at a very quaint, quiet rooftop bar. However, it was not a guided tasting in any way, and though we requested Prosseco, that wasn't available. We had a good time and stayed for dinner but we didn't learn anything about Prosecco.
