Description

Hungry for history and regional cuisine?

Join us for a food trek through the historic city of Venice on this 4-hour tour of osterias, trattorias, pastry shops and wine bars.

Meet your professional English-speaking guide and explore the ancient Campo San Giacometto. In this historic maritime marketplace you’ll begin to sample interesting local fare including cicchetti, Venice’s version of tapas. These zesty appetizers are prepared with choice, locally sourced meats, cheeses and produce and are popular with the local in-crowd.

In Venice, the best times in life include the best food. Try some of the plentiful olives available in the region, or perhaps a delicate polenta pillow topped with seafood. The Canal City has much food to tempt you and many colorful stories to reveal.

Walk leisurely through winding streets; listen to the sounds; experience the hum of local commerce in markets brimming with produce and fish. Cross the Rialto Bridge to an interesting 18th Century osteria famous for its cicchetti. Regional wines and Proseccos accompany these tasty morsels for a festive and friendly celebration.
