“As they sample delicious produce at the islands and try their hand at tasting Italian classics, guests will be inspired to learn more about traditional foods and dishes of the region,” said Patrizia Hofer, general manager, The St. Regis Venice. “Chef Ricci is a highly creative culinary leader who imaginatively turns fresh local ingredients into classic Italian dishes that elevate the authentic flavours of Venice for our guests. His knowledge and mastery are second to none.”

Participants accompany Ricci to Vignole and Murano islands to seek out fresh seafood, vegetables and herbs that capture the essence of Italian cooking. The experience even allows guests to meet local fisherman and pick the catch of the day. Ricci, born and raised in Puglia, oversees menus as Gio’s Restaurant.
