DoDorsoduro
Northern Giudecca canal walk
It's a long and sunny walk along the Giudecca canal, protected during winter time from cold northerly winds for being exposed to south and shielded by buildings. You might find interesting to see how a gondola is made, stopping by the Squero (Venetian for small ship yard) across a canal near San Trovaso Church. It's one of the few still in business in town. With some luck, you'll see some gondole through various manufacturing steps (gondole are not straight to counterbalance the gondoliere push).

Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi
Vini il Cantinone
Inventive and delicious cicchetti; pile a plate with what you like, and the staff will pour you a glass of wine to match the selection. If it's too crowded inside, step out and find a space by the canal. A large and carefully curated selection of wines and spirits for purchase by the bottle. Joseph Brodsky, the American Nobel Prize winning poet and essayist, buried on San Michele, was a regular anytime he came to Venice.

I Gesuati
Santa Maria del Rosario
18th-century Dominican church on the Giudecca canal. The classical style building has a well-lit interior and is exceptional in preserving its original layout and Rococo decoration intact. The church and almost all its sculpture and paintings were created within a 30-year period: construction began in 1725, the church was consecrated in 1743, and the last sculptural decoration was in place by 1755.
