TASTES & TRADITIONS OF VENICE FOOD TOUR ITINERARY

When you know how to tell authentic eateries from tourist traps, Venetian food is a surprising delight. Learn what to eat and where to eat it on this expert-led guided tour. 

Your tour starts with an introduction to cicchetti, Venice’s signature tapas-like bites, at a family-run bar. You’ll enjoy two local favorites paired with a drink. 

Next, it’s time for an exploration of the famous Rialto fish market. With a local on hand to give you insider information, learn about one of Venice’s oldest industries and spot strange species you may not find at home.  

From there, it’s time for more food! Pop into a bright, friendly little shop for a street-food style take on Venetian seafood—made with products fresh from the market just steps away. 

After that, at the nearby Rialto produce market, you’ll extend your knowledge to include the seasonality of vegetables and locally produced specialties. Stop at a fresh fruit stand and taste incredible seasonal delights.  

Just a quick stroll away from the market, your next stop is another beloved cicchetti bar. You’ll enjoy a panino of your choice here and one of their best-selling spritzes. Then, you’ll make your way to a cozy modern bar to enjoy homemade risotto and a glass of wine. Your tour ends on a sweet note with a typical Italian dessert.
