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, exploring traditional bacari (wine bars) and local markets that define the authentic Venetian lifestyle.

The Historic Rialto Market & Venetian Breakfast

Your journey begins where the city itself was born—the legendary Rialto Market. As we navigate the vibrant Pescaria (fish market) and Erberia (vegetable market), you’ll discover how chefs source fresh ingredients for the city’s finest cuisine. We kick off with a traditional Italian breakfast: a perfect espresso paired with artisanal pastries inspired by Venice’s historic spice trade.

The Best Cicchetti Tour in Venice

Get ready for an authentic Venetian tasting. We’ll guide you through hidden calli (alleys) to discover the oldest bacaro in Venice—a haunt of Casanova himself. You’ll sample world-famous Venetian tapas, including creamy baccalà mantecato, sweet and sour sarde in saor, locally cured meats, and the iconic Ombra (small local wine glass).

Sit-Down Tasting & Artisan Gelato

Unlike a standard street food tour, we conclude with a seated experience. Relax at a local restaurant for a seasonal Venetian pasta or risotto course, perfectly paired with premium regional wines. We finish our culinary adventure in the Cannaregio or Santa Croce districts, where you’ll learn the secrets of authentic artisan gelato.
