Venice Food & Wine Tour (Bacari & Cicchetti Experience)

Venice food & wine tour

If you’ve been following Venice Travel Tips, you already know that food is one of the best ways to understand Venice.

And there’s no better place to experience it than in the city’s historic bacari.

On this food and wine tour, you’ll explore hidden streets while stopping at three authentic Venetian bacari, the traditional wine bars where locals go for an aperitivo.

At each stop you can decide to order:

Wine and Spritz
Cicchetti of your choice (the small bites that are part of Venetian food culture)

Along the way, your guide will share the history behind these historic spots and explain how Venetian food traditions developed over the centuries.

It’s not just a tasting experience
It’s a journey into Venice’s everyday life and culinary culture

Why did I love this experience?

What made this tour special is that it didn’t feel like a typical food tour.

You’re visiting real historic bacari that Venetians love, not tourist-focused places.

Between stops, you explore small streets and hear stories about Venetian traditions, food habits, and local life.

It feels like spending a couple of hours discovering Venice the way locals do.

📝 A small note from me

This tour is not run by me personally. But they are experiences I have tested and genuinely enjoyed.

I only recommend things that I believe reflect the spirit of Venice Travel Tips:

Discovering Venice with curiosity, depth, and respect for the city.

If you decide to join a tour, I’m confident you’ll see a side of Venice that many visitors miss. And that’s exactly what this project has always been about.
