With its origins dating back to 1094, the Venice Carnival was revived in 1979 after almost two centuries of absence.
The Venetian Carnival still means theater, traditional foods, extraordinary masks, costumes, and of course wine.
In Venice, a glass of wine is called Ombra (shade) deriving from the times when one enjoyed a glass of wine standing in the shade of San Marco’s bell tower.
Come to Teresa’s for Venetian-inspired cicchetti and wines.
Tickets start at $29.
