Morning Tour: Get to know Venice through its flavors on this immersive 2.5-hour tour of Rialto and San Polo, the city’s economic and culinary heart. Explore the historic Rialto Market, where vendors have been selling local seafood and produce for centuries, and see how these ingredients shape Venetian cuisine. Stop into classic bacari and neighborhood wine bars to taste expertly prepared cicchetti, Venice’s signature small plates, paired with regional wines and Select Spritzes. Along the way, you’ll uncover the city’s layered history, from its maritime trade routes to its deep-rooted food traditions, all while eating and drinking like a local. Depending on your appetite and thirst, we may cross the Grand Canal for a brief jaunt through atmospheric Cannaregio.

Afternoon Tour: While the Rialto Market winds down just after midday, Venice’s vibrant food and drink culture carries on. This tour delves into the city’s aperitivo culture. As we weave through picturesque canals and hidden courtyards, we’ll visit historic bacari and stylish wine bars where locals gather to unwind. Expect an indulgent progression of expertly crafted cicchetti, bold regional wines, and classic cocktails that showcase Venice’s long-standing love affair with bitter liqueurs and herbal spirits. Whether you’re in the mood for a crisp glass of Soave, a perfectly bitter Select Spritz, or something a little stronger, this tour is designed for those who appreciate the art of day drinking like a true Venetian.

NB: The Rialto Market's fishmongers are closed on Mondays, and the market is closed all afternoons and on Sundays.
