Flights & Wines: the DOCG Masterclasses land in Venice
Venice's Marco Polo airport is transformed into an exceptional stage for wine enthusiasts: starting this autumn and until the end of the year, the "Marco Polo" Lounge will host a cycle of DOCG Masterclasses, dedicated to the most prestigious labels in the Veneto region. An initiative born in collaboration with the Consortium for the Protection of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG, to offer a sensory and cultural experience to passengers in transit.
Guided tastings & insights
The Masterclasses are conducted by experts in the field and include both theoretical and practical moments, with tastings of the labels presented. In this way, participants can learn about the grape varieties, techniques and distinctive characteristics behind each bottle. The wines tasted can be purchased directly at the airport with an advantage: a 20% discount reserved for participants. A way to take home not only memories, but also authentic flavors to enjoy.
