Discover Venice Through Cocktails: Venice Cocktail Week 2025

From October 22 to 26, 2025, Venice will once again host the Venice Cocktail Week, an event that over the years has become a key date for cocktail lovers and anyone passionate about quality drinking culture. For five days, the city will turn into a unique journey of sensory experiences, set among historic palaces and hotel bars.

Each participating bar will offer two exclusive creations: a signature cocktail, expressing the identity and style of the venue, and a midday aperitif, inspired by Venice’s tradition of aperitivo.

From elegant hotel bars overlooking canals and hidden gardens to independent cocktail bars known for their creative flair, every spot becomes a stop on a sensory journey. Every drink tells a story of ingredients, of places, of creativity.

The week’s calendar includes masterclasses, guest shifts with international bartenders, book presentations, and convivial gatherings. It’s a chance to explore the world of mixology while experiencing Venice in a new light. A toast can turn into a meeting, an aperitif into cultural discovery, and a cocktail into a lasting memory.

Venice Cocktail Week is an experience that combines taste, beauty, and hospitality, making a stay in the city even more special. Taking part means treating yourself to a refined itinerary between tradition and innovation, elegance and conviviality. It’s an opportunity to discover Venice from a fresh perspective, guided by cocktails that tell stories and by spaces that hold centuries of hospitality.
