Your Venice Food & Wine Tour starts at the famous Rialto Fish Market – located in the oldest and perhaps most beautiful part of the city. The market, though still slightly off the standard tourist route, was declared a UNESCO patrimony and is well worth seeing first hand. The sights and sounds from this local market is a glimpse into local life that has existed for centuries.

After you have finished admiring the plethora of fish and seafood at this canal-side market, it is time to enjoy the famous cicchetti culture of Venice. Cicchetti are traditional appetizers of fish, meat, or veggies that are normally accompanied by a drink and eaten in bacari bars. This variety of finger food is eaten throughout the day by locals from mid-morning onwards and usually consumed while chatting over a glass of wine or prosecco while standing up. Your local foodie guide will accompany you to three authentic cicchetti bars each with their own distinct feel.

Now it is time to make your way to dessert Venitian style – in a gondolino! This small gondola is the perfect way to cross the canal in style as you make your way to your wonderful sweet treat.

Dessert is the final stop on your Venice Food & Wine Tour and it is the perfect end to a foodie tour! You will have seen and tasted your way around Venice with your local expert guide, and should feel a little more in touch with what it’s like to be a true Venetian. You are guaranteed to finish this tour with big smiles, lots of pictures, and most importantly, a full stomach!
