Discover the true soul of Venice through its flavors on our 10 Tastings in Venice tour—an unforgettable culinary journey that goes far beyond the typical tourist experience. What makes this excursion truly amazing is its focus on authenticity, local connection, and storytelling through food.
Each of the ten tastings has been thoughtfully selected to showcase the diversity and richness of Venetian cuisine, from classic cicchetti (small bites) and freshly caught lagoon seafood to unique regional specialties you won’t find anywhere else.
This experience isn’t just about eating—it’s about connection: with the city, its people, and its past. Whether it’s sipping a perfectly paired local wine, biting into a warm baccalà mantecato, or learning the origins of a centuries-old recipe, each moment is designed to deepen your appreciation for Venice’s culinary and cultural heritage.
By the end of the tour, you won’t just have tasted Venice—you’ll have lived it, one unforgettable bite at a time.

San Polo, one of Venice's oldest and most vibrant districts, is a fantastic spot for cicchetti—the city's beloved small bites,thanks to its authentic charm and rich culinary tradition. Nestled around the bustling Rialto Market, the district is home to some of the best bàcari (Venetian wine bars), where locals and visitors alike gather to savor a glass of wine with flavorful snacks like baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor... The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, offering a true taste of everyday Venetian life. The group will visit a few places in this area

We will visit this nice area called Castello during the tour. It offers a laid-back, authentic culinary experience that makes its food scene truly special. As the largest and most residential sestiere, Castello is less touristy than other areas, allowing local flavors to shine in family-run trattorias and hidden bars. The blend of historic charm, peaceful canals, and genuine local fare makes eating in Castello feel like discovering a delicious secret tucked away from the crowds.

Great Tour
My spouse and I were the only two on the tour, so we felt like we were walking with a friend. Anna was very personable and knowledgable about the food and the area. It was very hot so we took our time walking between locations. The food was delicious and we had plenty to eat. One thing to be aware of is that most of the places we stopped at did not have seating. I highly recommend Anna and this excursion.
Operator response
Hi Roz, we're glad to hear that you and your spouse had a great time with Anna and enjoyed our food selections! We're very grateful for your kind words. Anna loved having an intimate stroll with you both and keeping a relaxed pace in the summer heat. We also appreciate your helpful note for future guests that authentic Venetian bàcari traditionally feature counter and standing service. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Venice again~🇮🇹

Find out where locals go and eat.
Lorenzo was friendly and professional, his knowledge for the local enteries was very insightful and shared his passion for these places, as a local these are local. We enjoyed a mixed of items that included cicchetti, cold meats & cheese (+ bonus warm sandwich), wine and a coffee to finish, while enjoying the strolling through the alleys of Venice, I felt like a local - lol not really but it was great. Being a local, Lorenzo was able to share other insightful tips n tricks or places to try should you feel inclined, we really enjoyed our tour, gracies.

Disappointing
Terrible directions and nothing to indicate where the host was waiting, no sign or anything. They even sent picture of where the meeting point was (afterwards) which only confirmed I went to correct location.

A must do in Venice!
My husband and I booked this tour while on our honeymoon. We were paired with another lovely couple and our tour guide, Greta, was very knowledgeable and so sweet. It was really great to be able to experience Venice with a local's perspective and she took us to a few spots we never would have ventured to on our own. Would highly recommend one of your first days in Venice so you can get to know more history and see parts of the city you may not see otherwise. Thanks Greta for such a lovely experience!
