A taste of Venice, ItalyThe Venetian cuisine, especially that in the city, is full of traditional dishes that are mostly made using all types of fish and vegetables, with only one limit: the seasons.  

The cicchetti, the pasta dishes, the risotto – risi e bisi (the doges loved to eat that on St. Marco Day – and I grew up in Vienna eating that at my family’s table), fish, seafood and meat dishes – and of course all these wonderful dishes must be accompanied by Venetian wines: Prosecco di Conegliano,Valpolicella, Bianco di Custoza and Amarone.

For the first time, in 2010 Herzerl Tours is adding a great culinary experience in Venice, the jewel of the Veneto region in Northern Italy. Venice is famous for its elegant cuisine going back hundreds of years to the Doges; however showing an influence steming from its French occupation (Napoleon) and afterwards by the Austria monarchy – in the 18th century. On this tour participants will have a chance to immerse themselves in the Venetian cuisine through hands-on cooking classes; accompany a chef in going to the famous local fish market (this alone is worth the trip); attend a lecture at Harry’s Dolci – the new venture of famous Harry’s Bar; sightseeing, visiting churches and palaces; eating in some of the better known Venetian restaurants; and the piece de resistance a ride in a gondola!
