This is one of the must wonderful thing I did in Venice. The quality of food and the amount of food was incredible, not to mentioned the wine. Mama mia! It was amazing! Georgia, our tour guide was adorable, very pleasant and accommodating. I am gluten free so she makes sure I had my dishes prepared, separately. I tell you a secrete, my food was so delicious I would have not wanted to change it. You do walk a lot, be ready to feast and walk. I truly recommend this walking tour.
A perfect and very enjoyable evening during which we got to sample lots of delicious and interesting foods and drinks. Our guide, Lorenzo, had everything under control, creating a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and sharing his knowledge about the food and drinks. We also received an email with information about the venues and shops. We highly recommend this experience.
Such a fun experience! Highly recommend this tour! Mercedes was a great host and creates a first class experience!
Lovely tour guide (Alice) and we had a great group The food was nice but wasn’t the 6 wines as listed on the booking Equally the tour said 2 hrs but was actually 3 and we had to miss the last stop due to having other plans

Thank you for your high recommendation, and we hope to see you on another Venice food adventure soon! 🍷✨ — Savor Italy Tours team
Greta was fantastic, the best tour guide one can ask for. She was enthusiastic, nice, shared her time with everyone in the group and knew a lot. The food tour was very nice and we tried more than enough food and drinks. Please consider rosé instead of red one as an alternative. That would be my only recommendation.
Hi Brigitte, Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you loved the tour and Greta’s enthusiastic hospitality—she was thrilled to share her time and knowledge with everyone in your group. We also really appreciate your recommendation regarding offering rosé as a wine alternative! Feedback like yours helps us refine our pairings, and we’ll definitely share this idea with our culinary team. Hope to welcome you back to Venice soon! 🍷✨ — Savor Italy Tours team
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour while in Venice! It was fun to enjoy local food & wine with a group of people from around the world. The best part was being able to enjoy some of the food and wine around a large table in a classic Venetian restaurant. We tried foods we definitely wouldn’t have tried on our own. Our guide Lorenzo was amazing! He was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good tips! 10/10 would recommend if you are a foodie in Venice!
Hi there, thank you so much for the 10/10 recommendation! Lorenzo was delighted to read your review. He loved guiding you and your husband through local food traditions and sharing his favorite insider tips. Gathering around a big table in a classic Venetian restaurant with traveler friends from around the world is what we love most! Thank you for joining our food adventure through Venice, and we hope to see you again soon~ 🍷🍝 — Savor Italy Tours team
Fantastic tour. Met some really nice people. Lots of food and delicious wine. Even a little extra surprise at the end. The tour guide was enthusiastic and friendly. I think this tour should be for people of drinking age/adults. We had a family on our tour with 3 children. It would’ve been nice to sit by others at our dinner to talk about the wine and food.
Hi Stacy, thank you so much for your review and for sharing your feedback with us! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the delicious wine pairings, generous food stops, and that special sweet surprise at the end! 🍷✨ We also really appreciate your constructive note regarding group dynamics. While our wine and food tasting tours are open to families, we completely understand how seating arrangements can impact the social flow and conversation about local pairings for our adult guests. We'll certainly take this into account with our guides to better coordinate seating so everyone gets the social experience they're looking for. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Venice soon! — Savor Italy Tours team
We visited several establishments and enjoyed a variety of foods and wines. It was so fun walking around the city and our guide Marianna was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips for places to go after our tour. We ate plenty of food to make it a full meal.
