Wine Tasting at Venezia Wine Veranda
The exterior of Venezia Wine Veranda
Venezia Wine Veranda, a new concept in wine tasting, allows guests to select their pour from a variety of wines. Established in Viera , Florida in 2024 by the Abbruscato Family, this wine tasting experience includes self serve dispensers with over 120 different wines. Guests load a wine card, insert the wine card in the slot on the dispenser, select their wine and their pour size (small, medium, and large). First time guests have a minimum load of $30 on their wine card, but the pours are relatively inexpensive.

The two story facility offers 360 degree views of Viera both upstairs and down. When the weather is nice, it is pleasant to sit on the second floor veranda, sip wine and watch the world go by. There are even cute little romantic nooks to enjoy your glass with a special someone.

Venezia Wine Veranda serves tapas, charcuterie, entree plates and even desserts. Their menu is extensive and varies with the season. As Lenny and I had a late lunch, we settled for an appetizer-sized lobster roll, and two servings of bread and cheese. The wine bar/restaurant had a special menu as we visited shortly after Valentine’s Day. Notice the cute Valentine’s Day decorations below.

Lenny and I found the service to be prompt, friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed wandering among the wine dispensers trying new beverages. We found everything about Venezia, from wine to decor to food to be appetizing! We were impressed with the expansion of the menu from our previous visit six months ago.

One of several wine dispenser stations in this restaurant. Note they also have wine for sale by the bottle.
I asked a friend of mine, (who is very knowledgeable about wines) , “how do I know if a wine is good?” He quipped to me. “Do you like the wine? If so, then it is a good wine.”
Wise counsel from a friend who knows his wines. I know he would enjoy Venezia Wine Veranda. When you are on Florida’s east coast, be sure to stop in and check out this fun restaurant/wine bar.
All the best,

P.S.-They do special events too! There was a bridal shower in a separate room when we were there.
