Discover Venice through its cuisine on an immersive food and wine tour led by a local guide.

Learn about Venetian culinary traditions and shop like a local at the iconic Pescaria.

Next, enjoy the city’s signature Spritz, prepared with Aperol, Select, or Campari, paired with traditional snacks in the neighborhood where this beloved aperitivo was born. Continue with bacaro hopping in San Polo, visiting five hidden, family-run wine bars to taste local wines and Prosecco while soaking in authentic Venetian life.

Throughout the tour, savor a curated selection of traditional Venetian dishes, including handmade cicchetti, baccalà mantecato, octopus (folpetti), and mozzarella in carrozza. Experience Venice’s rich culinary heritage, blending history, flavors, and local culture in every bite.
