3.5 hours Location Venice Class size 1 to 6 guests   $299

Step behind the espresso bar and discover what it actually feels like to pull a perfect shot, steam silky microfoam, and serve drinks you're genuinely proud of -- all in one 3.5-hour hands-on barista class in the heart of Venice!
This coffee making class is built for real beginners, so if you've been Googling "how to make espresso" or "how to make coffee like a café, " you're exactly who this is for. You'll spend most of your time making drinks yourself -- not watching someone else do it -- covering everything from dialing in a grinder and pulling consistent espresso shots to crafting a cappuccino, latte, flat white, cortado, and more. You'll even learn how to pour a classic latte art heart. Along the way, you'll pick up café workflow, customer service basics, daily opening and closing procedures, and how to clean and maintain commercial equipment. Individual coaching and feedback are woven throughout, so you're never left guessing. Classes stay small -- six people maximum -- which means you get real attention and plenty of machine time.
If you're searching for things to do in Venice that are actually hands-on and genuinely useful, this barista class delivers. You'll leave with a Barista Handbook, a Certificate of Completion, and the kind of confidence that only comes from doing the thing yourself!
