Overview
Let's bike through the "Orto di Venezia" (Venice's "vegetable garden"), through artichokes fields and farms, admiring the Venice skyline from a very unusual view and tasting the unique honey produced only on this island.
Bike along the island banks and fields and enjoy a rare view of Venice from an unusual spot. Experience the unique natural beauty of the island, appreciating the relaxed and traditional lifestyle of its few inhabitants. In fact, although being the largest island of the lagoon, Sant’Erasmo is populated by only 700 people, the majority of whom farm their own lands producing amazing fruits and vegetables.
One of most interesting crops is the typical purple-hued artichokes, a slow food ® presidium “Carciofo Violetto di Sant'Erasmo”. Another typical activity in the island is beekeeping: bees enjoy the amazing variety of flowers growing on the salty soil, and they produce a unique kind of honey which you will be able to taste.
While biking you will appreciate the variety of crops grown by local farmers as well as beautiful wild landscapes while spotting the belfries of Venice from afar.

Reviews
It was a day never to be forgotten. I can't recommend both him and his tour highly enough.
Well I did, and I had a very special guide to do this : Valerio!
A long bike ride in heaven crossing richly cultivated fields ❤️
Valerio is a great guide, super updated and so enriching in his narrative. He always wears a friendly smile on his face.
Passion always takes it all! Thankyou so much,
110% recommended! Choose him for your venetian explorations!
The honey farm was something else! So many little honey homes, fresh grapes too that they were growing.
I would definitely recommend this trip when in Venice, a nice day out to get away from the hustle and bustle of Venice.
Valerio spoke perfectly good English too so no worries there! Enjoy and have fun when you go!
