[rpi]Aman Venice Opera Series at Teatro La Fenice
Aman Venice has launched its Opera Series for 2016, which provides guests with exclusive access to seats in the hotel’s box at the Teatro La Fenice, one of the most renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre. With tickets something of a rarity, many claim that a night at the Teatro is an experience like no other.
As well as seats in the private box, guests will enjoy an aperitivo and either late afternoon tea or dinner at the hotel before or after the performance including round trip boat transfers in the hotel’s private boat.
Aman Venice is housed in a 16th century palazzo on the Grand Canal with its own private jetty. The hotel has 24 rooms with breathtaking architectural and artistic details including ceilings by the 18th century artist Tiepolo.

Wine Tasting at the Home of Montenegrin winemaker
Aman Sveti Stefan, the iconic islet in the centre of Montenegro’s Adriatic coast is offering guests a private visit to the house of the Masanovics who have been making wine for generations from the Montenegrin indigenous grape variety Vranac. Grown for centuries in Crmnica, Vranac is just one of the ingredients used in the premium dry red wine produced by Mr Masanovic which has aromas of burnt oak, ripe raspberries and fresh cranberries. Guests will taste the vintages of 2009 and 2010, and the vintage of 2010 directly from the barrels as well as a dessert wine all of which will be paired with local Montenegrin cheese and served with dried figs and walnuts grown in the gardens of the house. Mr Masanovic will then take guests on a tour of the family vineyards and fruit orchards where they will have the opportunity to sample homemade plum, grape, kiwi and apple and pear brandies.
Aman Sveti Stefan was once a fortified village dating back to the 15th century. The island became a hotel in the 1950s and was a high profile destination amongst celebrities from the worlds of fashion and film. The island has 50 rooms, and eight suites at Villa Milocer over the causeway as well as three beaches.
