Back from that Short Break to…Venice

Genius Loci has had an intensely busy season – its sixth year and its best.  With our busy grape harvest period over, free for a few days from my cooking classes, gourmet wine and olive oil tastings and wineries tours, with ideal weather … literally overnight, we put together a short break.  Where to for a change of scenery and pace?  Venice –  with an emphasis on its Lagoon islands.
