Our on our recent Thanksgiving family getaway to Italy, we spent three days in Venice, including Thanksgiving day!  Dan and I have actually spent Thanksgiving in Venice before, and its a great way to spend the holiday. Here is a run down of what we did and where we stayed and ate over our three days, as well as lots of pictures to make you wish you were in Venice. #sorrynotsorry.

A Thanksgiving Wine Tour In The Prosecco Region!

As you may know from this blog or chatting with me or Dan, or literally anyone in our family, our entire immediate family went to Italy for Thanksgiving in November! Yes, all 8 of us!! For the actual day of Thanksgiving, we toured the Prosecco wine region on a day trip from Venice. It was a great day, and we drank way too much tasty Prosecco!  This is a recap of our tour if you are planning something similar. I highly recommend the Prosecco region as a quick getaway from Venice!

Favorite Photos from Venice, Italy!

We visited Venice last year over the US Thanksgiving holiday.  I was a tiny bit nervous when planning, as November in Venice has been known to be terribly rainy and grey.  However, our trip was absolutely lovely and Venice was magical, as always.  Plus, we missed some of the crowds that can ruin Venice during high season!  

Since Venice is SO stunningly photographic, I decided to share a post of my favorite photos – happy holiday planning!
