LivTours Venice Food & Wine Tour is great for food lovers! You will start off in the oldest fish market in Venice, admiring the fresh displays and bustling local life. Your local expert guide will start to teach you all about Venice and its food culture as you stroll past fishmongers whose families have owned the stalls for generations. As the city can get crowded, experiencing it in a small group of a maximum of six people is an invaluable way to navigate the narrow winding streets as well as enabling you to connect with your local guide, giving you an unforgettable experience.
Along with your experienced tour guide, you will visit three different local bars to savor the famous cicchetti, Venetian snacks, while enjoying a glass of local prosecco, sparkling white wine. After your pre-lunch snacks, you will hop on a gondolino, a small gondola and glide across the canal to end your tour with the perfect sweet treat: gelato on a hot day or hot chocolate when it’s chilly. This small-group tour is the perfect way to discover Venice through its food and local life!

Your Venice Food & Wine Tour starts at the famous Rialto Fish Market – located in the oldest and perhaps most beautiful part of the city. The market, though still slightly off the standard tourist route, was declared a UNESCO patrimony and is well worth seeing first hand. The sights and sounds from this local market is a glimpse into local life that has existed for centuries.
After you have finished admiring the plethora of fish and seafood at this canal-side market, it is time to enjoy the famous cicchetti culture of Venice. Cicchetti are traditional appetizers of fish, meat, or veggies that are normally accompanied by a drink and eaten in bacari bars. This variety of finger food is eaten throughout the day by locals from mid-morning onwards and usually consumed while chatting over a glass of wine or prosecco while standing up. Your local foodie guide will accompany you to three authentic cicchetti bars each with their own distinct feel.
Now it is time to make your way to dessert Venitian style – in a gondolino! This small gondola is the perfect way to cross the canal in style as you make your way to your wonderful sweet treat.
Dessert is the final stop on your Venice Food & Wine Tour and it is the perfect end to a foodie tour! You will have seen and tasted your way around Venice with your local expert guide, and should feel a little more in touch with what it’s like to be a true Venetian. You are guaranteed to finish this tour with big smiles, lots of pictures, and most importantly, a full stomach!

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are capped at six guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining this uniquely tiny group size can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together, so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests to avoid separating groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
