Overview

As many tourists leave Venice for the day, your evening is just beginning! Join us in the authentic Venetian neighborhoods of San Polo and Dorsoduro for an evening of unique flavors and dishes. We'll stop at several different *bacari* (Venetian-style wine bars) where you'll sample *cicchetti* (Venetian-style "tapas") in all their available forms before a sit down meal of traditional pasta. Each bite comes perfectly paired with a beloved local drink—think wine, regional prosecco from the tap, and Venice's favorite aperitif, the spritz—for an Italian-style night out you'll remember for years to come.

Enjoy 7 food tastings and 4 drinks at 5 incredible, locally owned spots in Venice's San Polo and Dorsoduro neighborhoods. Enough food for a full dinner.
Step away from the crowded streets and into the bacari (traditional Venetian wine bars) locals love best.
Learn the ins and outs of how to enjoy cicchetti like a local and sample two different (yet equally delicious) types.
Sip incredible local drinks, including wine, prosecco, and the beloved spritz.
Finish the evening with a sweet treat from a Venetian gelato shop that's been going strong for 100 years!

From there, we'll stroll through the neighborhood and check out some of its most famous sights en route to our next stop: a historic and beautifully renovated building with exposed beams and stone arches. It's the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a board of cold cuts and cheese pa...

Excellent

Our guide, Barbara, was so personable and engaging. She really wanted to share her Venice with us. We never would have found the areas or bars/restaurants on our own. Wonderful experience.

This was a great cichetti tour with guide Emanuela M. Her knowledge of Venice, history etc was excellent and she explained things in a fun way. Our group was extremely picky with food choices and Emanuela M. made sure we were all happy and something for each of us. There was a lot of food and drinks and no one went hungry. My fav was learning about the different Spritzs. The staff at the bars were also friendly and helpful and fun! I highly recommend this tour with Emnuela M. I would take it again ?
