Eating Venice by Private Boat: Pizza, Tiramisu & Prosecco｜Italy

Venice looks completely different from the water! Most visitors spend their days in the same square kilometre of the city, and this private boat experience takes a maximum of 5 guests beyond that, out into the open lagoon where the real Venice has quietly carried on for centuries.

Your local guide will take you up to Sant'Erasmo, the city's kitchen garden, where vegetables grow in mineral-rich lagoon soil unlike anywhere else on earth.

Along the way, food is at the heart of everything. This is a proper meal, not a nibble: artisan pizza, a traditional Venetian pasta dish, and tiramisù, the dessert Venice invented. You'll sip prosecco sourced from the Veneto hills as the lagoon unfolds around you, and raise a spritz the way Venetians actually do.

Because this is a private tour, it will be just your group, your guide, and the quieter version of Venice that opens up when you leave the Grand Canal behind.
