Description
Enjoy real Venice away from the tourist crowd led by a young local guide. A relaxing 3 hours street food and wine walking tour around the alleys and the fine wine bars of Venice to try the best selection of cicchetti (Venetian-style tapas) and sip various regional drinks. Bars have been carefully selected based on the quality of their food/drinks and the authenticity of the location. The tour offers a selection of local prosecco, natural wines and more drinks, all originally from the Veneto region. All our guides are local, young, passionate about Venice and its cuisine and, of course, professionally licensed. The wine experience combines insights into Venice's culture, its rich history, arts and daily habits. Our commitment is to show you Venice the way it really is not the way tourists want to see it. This tour has been designed for real foodies and travelers.

10/10 Tasting Experience
We had an amazing time, the guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. She got to know each of us and catered the tastings to our specific preferences. We got to see some places we never would have found on our own, and had recommendations you can only get from a local for the rest of our stay.
Operator response
Foodie friend, thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing evening discovering Venice through its wine and cicchetti. It’s especially lovely to know that your guide took the time to get to know each of you and tailor the tastings to your personal preferences. Finding those hidden spots you might never discover on your own — and getting a few genuinely local recommendations for the rest of your stay — is exactly what we hope to offer. We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience and the insider tips along the way!
Streaty adventures in Catania, Naples, Rome, Syracuse, Venice, Bari, Bologna, Turin + many other cities, with a big hug from the Streaty crew!

Amazing experience
Beatrice is an absolute joy as a guide. The pace and spacing of each of the tiny locations was perfect. It is worth every cent. She answered all our questions and suggested other restaurants and places to go for true Venetian cuisine. I would book this again.

A very enjoyable walking food & wine tour!
We had a very enjoyable small group walking food and wine tour. We are vegetarian so this added a wrinkle to the typical appetizers which are fish and meat based, but our guide expertly navigated veggie options for us. The prosecco, wines, and sweet wine were all amazing. We would definitely recommend this tour! Grazie!
Operator response
Thank you, Stefanie, for your lovely review. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed such a pleasant small-group food and wine experience in Venice.
It’s great to know that our guide was able to accommodate your vegetarian preferences and still make the evening feel relaxed, varied, and delicious. We’re especially pleased that the wines and prosecco were a highlight for you.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Florence, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Catania, Palermo, Turin, Bari, Syracuse, Messina and more.
A warm greeting from the Streaty crew

Wine and Cicchetti with Guilia!
We loved the wine and cicchetti with our local guide Giulia! We had a variety of wine and food. Each location was quaint and full of locals. Our guide provided us with explanations of the wine and the food. She went out of her way to find alternate food choices for those of us adverse to some of the seafood. It was a fantastic evening. This tour is a great way to get to know other fellow travelers. We highly recommend this tour!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a fantastic evening enjoying wine and cicchetti 😊
Just a small note — your guide was actually Beatrice, and she’ll be delighted to know you appreciated her care, especially in accommodating different food preferences.
It’s great to hear you enjoyed the local spots and the chance to meet fellow travelers — that’s exactly what we aim for!
Thanks again for your recommendation and for joining our Venice Food & Wine Tour. Hope to see you again in Florence, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Catania, Palermo or Turin!

great tour!
This was a fun and wonderful experience. Irene was an amazing guide, and facilitated such lovely connection among our very small group. We came as strangers and left as friends, having tasted some incredible local food and wine along the way. The company texted with us when we hit an unexpected travel snag and is very communicative. Can't recommend enough!
Operator response
