Your tasty lunch is served in a tiny trattoria near the Slovenian border, featuring home-made seasonal specialties, Schioppettino wine and, of course, grappa (the local firewater)!

In the afternoon, you'll travel to the picturesque medieval town of Cividale del Friuli, founded by Julius Caesar in 50 B.C. Journey across the Devils Bridge for a spectacular panorama over the Natisone River, then enjoy a short walk around the historic center before driving back to Venice.
