There is only one place to experience the sunset over Venice with a cocktail in hand. Our guest today is the one behind the drinks that make it unforgettable.
Let me introduce Valentina Mircea, the Bar Manager of The Skyline Bar at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice.
She has spent over ten years in this industry, from London to Brighton to Venice. Whether she’s guiding her team to create a zero-waste signature menu or watching a guest experience the lagoon at sunset, her mission is to make moments into memories.
You can also read about the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice in my new book – A Guide to Drinking in Venice lands soon. I’ve been hinting at it for years, and it’s now available. Go to alushlifemanual.com/book for more details.
Now, let’s enjoy that sunset at least virtually with Valentina.
