Embark on a culinary adventure in Venice on a walking tour of its best wine bars, where you'll taste traditional cicchetti dishes.

Cicchetti Bars and Taverns of Venice Tour

This tour of Venice's Bacari wine bars and dishes is the ideal culinary experience while visiting one of the most romantic cities in the world. This culinary Venice tour will allow you to experience the excitement of Italian Bacari wine bars, ride a traghetto into the Rialto area, and taste cicchetti dishes along the way.

The Venice wine and food tour will begin at the Campo de la Maddalena, a small picturesque square, where you'll meet your local English-speaking guide. Explore the medieval square before stopping at your first bar, where you'll taste delectable Venetian-style tapas, including olives, marinated seafood and local cheeses.

Don't get too full because the Venice food tour will have plenty more tasting opportunities. Your Venice walking tour will continue as you enter Strada Nuova and venture into another historical bar to taste an excellent sample of cicchetti dishes. Afterward, follow your guide to Campo de Santa Sofia and, if weather permits, climb aboard an iconic Venice traghetto to cross the Canal Grande into the Rialto area. Traghetti are like gondolas, but they're used as passenger ferries instead. There is no sitting or singing on a traghetto, as this is how locals get across the canals!

After enjoying this traghetto ride, the morning tour will explore the local market in Rialto. Head to the city center to a hole-in-the-wall Venetian bar that serves a simple, but delicious selection of cicchetti and great regional Italian wines and proseccos. Your comprehensive Venice tour will continue as you visit more of the best bars Venice has to offer. Taste local wines and continue to explore the delicious flavors of Italy. This culinary Venice tour will end at the steps of the Rialto Bridge, where you can head back to one of the previously visited bars, your hotel, or any of the other spectacular sights in the city. This ideal culinary excursion will open your senses to the best sights and flavors that Venice has to offer.

Please Note: The Rialto Food Market visit is only available for the morning tour. In the event of inclement weather, we will not be able to cross the canal in the traghetto gondola for safety concerns. As an alternative, we'll offer an extra tasting experience.
