What To Expect

As the name of the tour suggests, on this tour, we are going to eat, then drink, then repeat that a quite a few times. Amongst a few glasses of wine and food, you will also hear stories and legends about the wine, the food, and last but not least, some highlight histories in the area. One of the wines we will be trying on this tour will be Prosecco, a freshly fragant white wine, and most of the time, sparkling, but there are more to the Prosecco than just the sparkles or the sparkling kind. During this tour, you will learn what kind of Prosecco you can use for one occasion or another. You will enjoy some Amarone and learn why its complex flavor makes the favorite list of many locals. From fragrant and crisp white to hearty red, this tour covers them all with food that best paired with it. Our guide will also gives you tips and tricks on how to avoid bars that look like tourist traps, and how to select a good bottle of wine in Venice not basing merely on its price tag (the most expensive bottle does not mean you will like it, and the less expensive bottle could be a good bottle), and what to look out for to not over pay for the wines. Highlights: • 6 must-try regional wines/ cocktail and food pairings ( usually enough for lunch or dinner) • Small group size for a more personalized experience • A wine enthusiast and foodie expert will be your guide • Legends and histories about the food as well as the areas that we will be visiting

We have gone on this Food and Wine tour twice. Our guide Anna was the best! She is so kind and full of so many fun facts about Venice and Venetian cuisine. On this tour we went to so many restaurants that were off the beaten path. We definitely wouldn’t have been able to discover these amazing restaurants without the tour. If you’re looking to try authentic Venetian food and not the tourist traps, this tour is a must!

Amazingly wonderful tour. Mariana is passionate about preserving Venetian food culture. Each location we stopped was authentic, out of the way, and delicious. The wines were beyond belief. You’d be a fool not to take advantage of this unique tour.

Great tour! Anna not only took us to some great spots (restaurant, deli, gelato, etc.) but was super informative, enthusiastic, and fun. She also checked on food preferences and allergies at the beginning of the tour and was able to keep us all happy. Food and wine portions were generous - come hungry!

On this day this tour was more food tasting with a few drinks thrown in, than a wine tasting trip. That said, our guide, Alice, was great-very engaging and took us to a series of authentic venetian eateries, including several tapas-type places and fantastic pastery, gelato and coffee places. So the exposure to venetian cuisine was good.
The best information I’ve received as a tourist

Martina was unbelievably great. She spoke to us like we were all life-long friends. She gave us a lot of great tips about how to spot the best gelato (this has came in handy for the other cities we have visited) and to avoid tourist trap restaurants. We even tested the theory and can confirm, this girl knows what she’s talking about!!!! Her word is law. She gave us a lot of information about how Venetians live and what their normal routine is like. I cannot recommend this tour enough!!!
Fun and Tasty!
