Classic Venetian Eating & Drinking Experience
Towards the end of the experience, your captain will dock in the Cannaregio district and deliver you to a Venetian ‘’Bacaro’’ or bar for a delicious aperitivo. You can choose your drink (wine, beer, etc), but the traditional tipple would be the “Venetian Spritz” made with Aperol and Prosecco. To eat, you will be able to try several ‘’Cicchetti’’ which are little plates of fresh traditional Venetian appetizers.
