A Guide to Drinking in Venice is a visually stunning hardback that uncovers the fascinating history of drinking in one of the world’s most iconic destinations.

Since its foundation in the year 421 AD, Venice has perfected the art of living well. Its merchants brought back seductive wines, explorers wrote of invigorating drinks, and visitors added their own traditions. All the ingredients for a great cocktail.

In A Guide to Drinking in Venice, Susan L. Schwartz blends stories of mixology, local ingredients, and the personalities behind the bars, transporting readers to Venice's vibrant neighbourhoods and iconic watering holes. Featuring over 50 addresses, from classic bars mixing Bellinis and Spritzes to the city's historic wine bars, coffee houses, pubs and more, Susan's insider knowledge will make your next trip to this magical city your most memorable yet.

Featuring 20 cocktail recipes from some of the most famous bars and tips for experiencing the city like a local, this is the perfect companion for those who appreciate the art of a great drink, and anyone looking to experience the intoxicating charm of Venice.
