Terrazza Aperol

What Terrazza Aperol does

Terrazza Aperol is an Italian branded hospitality concept operated by Terrazza Aperol SRL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Milan Stock Exchange: CPR.MI). The company operates two flagship aperitivo venues — Terrazza Aperol Venice at Campo Santo Stefano (San Marco 2776) and Terrazza Aperol Milano at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — both centered on the Aperol Spritz ritual and Italian aperitivo tradition. Each location offers a curated food menu designed by Executive Chef Samuele (Venice), signature cocktails, private events with DJs and live bands, and branded Aperol merchandise for sale on-premises.

The core product is a physical hospitality experience rather than a technology platform; there is no proprietary software, API, SDK, or digital product disclosed. Supporting digital assets include the brand website (terrazza.aperol.com) with online reservations, an Instagram-driven social community around the hashtag #terrazzaaperolvenezia, a curated Spotify playlist, and a newsletter subscription. The Milan venue is co-located and operationally partnered with Il Mercato del Duomo, with bookings and discovery routed through ilmercatodelduomo.it.

Terrazza Aperol generates revenue through three streams: in-venue food and beverage sales (the dominant stream), on-premises merchandise sales (Venice), and private event/booking revenue. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with the brand's own website serving as the primary reservation and discovery channel. The customer base consists primarily of tourists and hospitality consumers visiting Venice and Milan who are drawn to the cultural cachet of the Aperol Spritz ritual in iconic Italian settings. With a disclosed headcount of 8 employees and two physical venues, the business operates as a small, premium experiential brand within Campari Group's broader global spirits portfolio.
