Experience of 10! - A highly recommended experience. I booked this experience with friends, we were pleasantly surprised. Liuba has helped us tour Veneto through 5 varieties of wine typical of the area, in a relaxed, welcoming and family atmosphere. Hugo's tapas are delicious and delicate, truly exquisite. Two excellent hosts, extremely friendly and pleasant. Ideal for people who like wine, you don't need to be an expert, they provide you with interesting and useful information about the different varieties in a pleasant and relaxed way. In my case I couldn't drink wine for health reasons and Hugo offered me kombucha and water kefir from his own production, exquisite. They take care of every detail. Excellent location. Without a doubt a different experience to do on the island. 100% recommendable.

Highly recommended! - A beautiful experience! Highly recommended! The hosts were really kind and well-prepared! When we booked we thought the main focus would be on good wine but the food pleasantly surprised us! In addition to drinking very well and being accompanied in the discovery of wines in an excellent way, we were able to taste some truly delicious tapas! Then the home context also gave us the opportunity to feel very comfortable. We will be back, hopefully soon.

Stupendo!! - Wonderful experience!! From the wine, the food, the vibes, the hosts... this experience was the cherry on top for my friends Bachelorette. The hosts were super friendly, welcoming and flexible. Some of us couldn't drink, and luckily, they had so many homemade nonalcoholic beverages . We ended up being more people than expected, and they had no issue with it, managing to organize everything else without complications. If you want a truly unique experience with wonderful company for really good price point do not hesitate!

Extremely highly recommended - What a superb evening with Liuba and Hugo in their charming Venetian house next to University Ca' Foscari. Hugo is an experienced local chef, Liuba a sommelier and wine educator. Both are passionate about food, wine and Venice, and wonderful teachers. You can expect an evening of really tasty Venetian cicchetti accompanied by great wines of the Veneto, chatting with this most engaging couple about all things culinary, oenological, Venetian and Italian. Extremely enjoyable and not expensive for what is delivered.
