This gastronomic tour of Venice will immerse you in the culinary heart of the city, as you sample a wide variety of local wines, tapas and sweets. For approximately two and a half hours, you'll explore the most authentic corners, in the company of fellow Italian food lovers, and enjoy the magic of a traghetto ride along the Grand Canal, passing the iconic Ponte Rialto.

You can join a small group of up to 12 people or, if you prefer a more personalised treatment, opt for the private version of this itinerary. There is no charge for children under 6 years old.

Your local, English-speakingguide will take you to discover the flavour of Venice through five "enotecas" where Venetians come to drink and socialise. Taste regional wines and savour the famous Venetian aperitif called "cicchetti" at each stop; small dishes that mix seafood, polenta and other delicacies typical of Venetian cuisine.

    An OK experience. The local wine is not something that fascinated me, but it was pretty good. Recommended to do if you are in Venice and are interested in soaking up some local food.
