TRY A STEIN OF LOCAL “BIER” AT AN AUTHENTIC BIERGARTEN
CULTURE THROUGH
CUISINE
VENICE, ITALY
ENJOY MORE
THAN A “TASTE”
OF EUROPE.
The true heart of Europe is
revealed through its cuisine,
so we make food and drinks
an important part of your tour.
Piquant flavors, heavenly
bouquets, vibrant colors,
unfamiliar textures...we activate
your senses with tastings of regional delicacies.
You’ll start each day with a hearty buffet breakfast featuring fare
from the region you’re visiting as well as Western favorites. In the
afternoon, we may include a special lunch to introduce you to area
specialties—or you may have free time to sample the local fare on
your own. Light lunches at neighborhood bistros and cafés provide
great opportunities to rub elbows with the locals—or you can pick
up fresh bread, cheese, fruit, and wine, and spend some time
people-watching in the town square. At night, take advantage of
the best the city has to offer. We include dinners at local restaurants
when we know dining is a major attraction. Included culinary
highlights are tailored to each vacation to help you experience your
destination like a local.
