When the city is quiet, and illuminated magically, ancient recipes are coming to life. Join us and explore the seasonal treasures of Venice!

Since 2012, we have shared glimpses of the private gardens and culinary traditions of Venice. And we tell the story of a secret garden located in the ancient heart of Venice, just five minutes from San Marco.

Behind the RED BRICK walls of VENICE, an ancient world of secret GARDENS and forgotten FLAVORS 
has survived.
