Set sail with us on board our boat, a traditional “Tortuga” bragozzo: an authentic experience combining nature, flavors and tradition. We will sail through the Venetian Lagoon to reach the island of Sant'Erasmo, known as “Venice's garden” for its agricultural vocation and the production of local delicacies.
Our destination is a small association clubhouse immersed in the tranquility of the island, overlooking the lagoon and surrounded by a well-kept garden and a vegetable garden cultivated using natural methods. Here, thanks to our partnership with a local organization dedicated to promoting the region, you can experience a moment of authentic connection with the lagoon's environment and agricultural culture.
After the welcome and a brief introduction to the association's activities, the food tasting will begin:
• Local wines produced on the island, with a fresh, mineral character, the result of the sandy soil and the influence of the sea.
• Typical Venetian cicchetti, prepared with seasonal ingredients and produce from the garden.
• Jams, compotes and honey, made from fruit and flowers grown on site, with a delicate and natural flavor.
• A selection of essential oils and aromatic waters, obtained from medicinal and aromatic plants grown in the garden, which you can smell, taste or use in small sensory preparations.
The relaxed, welcoming atmosphere will allow you to get to know a different side of Venice up close, one made up of silence, nature and living traditions. No crowds, no urban noise: just the scent of herbs, the sound of water and the true flavor of produce from the land.
After about two hours on the island, we will return by boat to Venice, enjoying the light and tranquility of the lagoon afternoon.
