S.ERASMO PRODUCTIONS: WINE, HONEY & VEGETABLES

Venice Car Service, in collaboration with its partners, proposes a BOAT TRIP TO S.ERASMO WITH WINE TASTING.

A Tour that will make you discover the hidden treasures of the Lagoon of Venice, between History,Tradition and Gastronomy. In the minor Islands of the Northern part of these Venetian environment, you will be shown the territories where Nature is still the lady of the house and where venetian farmers and artisans are still working the land… discovering Venice in its origins.

The Tour starts at 9.30am from Fondamenta Nuove vaporetto stop, where we will take the public waterbus (or the privat water taxi) to reach Sant’Erasmo Island: the Island of the kitchen gardens. Here we will have the pleasure to meet local farmers who will introduce us to their experienced wisdom by narrating about their life, their job and about the precious and different growings they takes care of.
The Island is famous for its vegetables, its wines and its honey, all special products thanks to the unique soil of the Lagoon: sand, salted water and sweet water.

Precious products that are now protected by Slow Food, like the Carciofo Violetto di Sant’Erasmo – a kind of local Artichoke that grows only in these territories and that is renowned to be of rare and very high quality; and the Miele di Barena – a honey made by spontaneous plants that exist only in the Lagoon.

In these farms we will admire the entire process, and we will be involved from the Land to the Table: coltivation, pick up, preparation and.. tasting

We will have lunch in the Island and we will return to Venice in the afternoon.
