The history of Riva del Vin

Riva del Vin has a centuries-old connection with Venice's wine trade. Wine boats landed here from approximately the 11th century until the mid-19th century; the Uffizio del Dazio del Vin operated here in the 13th century. Formerly known as Riva del Ferro, the quay still carries the memory of the wine trade and the workers who transported and transferred it.
