Eat Like a Local: Venice 3-Hour Small-Group Food Tasting Tour

Overview

Fall in love with Venice, through your 3-hour discovery of the gastronomic tradition of the city, through a uniquely designed small-group, walking food and wine tour of the lesser known places to tourists. With at least 13 tastings from well-known restaurants and bars to the locals, between sipping some glasses of wonderful local wines, and trying some of the best restaurants in Venice with the guidance of your expert foodie, you will also get to hear about its unique histories of what makes Venice a truly wonderful place.

What you’ll do

There are 8 stops on this tour with plenty of food to make sure you do not need breakfast nor lunch nor dinner. You will start your day with some coffee, like the Italians do. Venice has a tradition that goes a long way back in time in making tasty pastries, and you will get to try some of the heavenly delicious pastries that the Venetian has to offer. After your sweet tooth has been satisfied, stroll through some wine bars and savor typical Venetian drinks accompanied by the famous cicchetti with lunch or dinner and learn how each dish is created.

Take a step back in time by visiting the oldest bacaro in Venice with us. You will hear the story as to why this atmospheric wine bar is said to have been a favourite place of the legendary lover Giacomo Casanova while you taste some of their best selling ciccheti, local Venetian snack. The bar still retains its old-world charm with wooden beams, copper pots, and standing-only counters where locals and travelers mingle over traditional food

Do you know that Venice was one of the first European cities to import sugar from the East, making it a luxurious and prized ingredient at that time?This early access led to the creation of a rich pastry tradition that blends Eastern spices with Italian creativity. From delicate tiramisu to the festive frittelle of Carnival, Venice s pastry are full of flavor. One of the stops on the tour is a family owned pastry shop and you will learn why Venetian sweets are more than just treats they're edible expressions of the city’s opulent past and its love for celebration, craftsmanship, and flavor

Due to exceptionally high demand, on some dates our tours may exceed the usual maximum of 15 guests. When this happens, we will provide additional food and/or wine. Tours may also occasionally be conducted in English and one additional language by a multilingual guide. If you arrive and are not comfortable with the larger group or bilingual format, you may leave no later than the end of the second stop and receive a full refund. Please inform your guide before leaving. If you choose to continue beyond the second stop, this full refund option will no longer apply. In particular, guests who complete the tour and consumed all the food and wine at all stops cannot afterwards request a refund under this policy solely because of the group size or bilingual format.
