Experience the ultimate Venice food and wine tour through the city’s historic heart. While most tourists stay on the beaten path, we take you deep into the culinary traditions of Venice, Italy, exploring traditional bacari and local neighborhoods that define the authentic Venetian lifestyle.

The Historic Rialto & Local Life

Depending on when you join us, the Rialto district offers two distinctly beautiful experiences. On our morning tours, you’ll navigate the vibrant, bustling market to see how chefs source fresh ingredients for the city’s finest Venetian cuisine. On our evening tours, we explore the historic, atmospheric market squares just as the locals reclaim the calli (alleys) for their post-work passeggiata and evening wine.

The Best Cicchetti Tour in Venice

Get ready for an authentic Venetian cicchetti tasting. We’ll guide you to hidden neighborhood bacari that cater to all tastes. While seafood lovers can certainly try traditional bites, our menu is packed with incredible, universally loved crowd-pleasers. You’ll sample world-famous Venetian tapas, including:

• Hot, crispy mozzarella in carrozza (golden fried mozzarella)
• Fresh, soft tramezzini stuffed with regional ingredients
• Savory olive sticks and locally cured meats
• The iconic Ombra (a small local wine glass of Valpolicella or Prosecco)

Pasta, Pastries, & Artisan Gelato

Unlike a standard Venice street food tour, we make sure you are well-fed. We’ll enjoy a hearty plate of seasonal Venetian pasta, perfectly paired with premium regional wines. But the tour isn’t over! We transition to the sweet side of the city with a perfectly timed pastry pick-up at beloved spots like Targa or Dolcevita, followed by a quick local espresso. We finish our Venice culinary tour with a scoop of 100% natural artisan gelato at a legendary local gelateria.
