Loved Our Wine Tasting - My sister and I came to the wine tasting together. It’s down a side street near the church. We were expecting a large group of people to be taking the tasting with us. But we’re pleasantly surprised to find out it was a private tasting with just us! Wines were great. We had 4 to choose from. The wine for sale after was also very reasonably priced. Very very happy we did this! Make sure to come with some food on your stomach. He pours very large glasses to taste:)

Very friendly, definitely worth it - We got enough information about the 4 different wines. Every wine was very tasty! The guy was super friendly and enthusiastic. We got a lot of info about Venice itself too!

Good Service - The man we drank the wine from was very friendly, we got to taste 4 different wines with enough information. Every question we had the host could answer well. We still had nice conversations with the person and bought 2 more bottles of wine

Amazing wine tastinf - Very impressed with this wine tasting. We had 4 glasses of wine and ended up buying the Cabernet Sauvignon! The best I’ve had in a long time. The wine is homemade and flavourful. Would definitely recommend

The Royal lunch at the Royal garden! - The meal was sumptuous. The helpings were generous. The quality of the meal was excellent. The pastas were perfect and so were the desserts.

Misleading - a lunch at a normal cafe but with a restricted menu - This experience felt misleading. It was just a lunch at a regular cafe (Illy cafe) near some of the hot spots in Venice, but you were restricted in what you were allowed to get off the menu (only cicchetti for appetizer, and only pastas for the main course). You could have just as easily walked in, sat down, and ordered, without having to reserve this ahead of time, as everyone else who was there had done. The location and views are pretty nice, but aren't different than many other places in Venice (and in fact, it is nicer to sit out directly on the waterfront rather than set off from it). You were next to, but not in, the royal gardens. It also felt like the waiters didn't exactly know how to handle us, and we didn't receive what we ordered at first. That being said, we were late in arriving, and they were nice in accommodating us. But if I could do this over, I would definitely not choose this again.

Catch tourists - No access to the closed garden on Mondays. We were certainly outside but stuck in a little corner without life. Very expensive meals for very basic dishes. Advertising is false it is not at the level of the promised service.

Don’t waste time or money ripoff - This is a waste of time and money. The gardens to stroll for nice. The lunch was inside only couple of tables outside not even immersed gardens. Food off chain restaurant menu only a couple of items allowed and way over priced.

It didn't happen! Very disappointing! - We arrived at the shop where the wine tasting was to take place and the owner had no record of our reservation and was quite rude when we showed him our confirmation. We were two couples and he also said that, even if he had our reservation, he could only have two people at a time because of Covid protocols, so Viator couldn't have booked us because he would have refused to take a booking for four people. We had to leave without having the experience and he told us to contact Viator for a refund - he had no interest in assisting us.

Cancel - last minute - If you aren't available, don't allow those dates to be purchased. The business waited until days before our trip to let us know they were going to cancel on us. Pick a more reliable business to work with.
