Bacaro tour unblended means to have a food and wine experience in the pure venetian way, not lower levels. Venetians think that a bacaro tour is much more then eating and drinking, is actually a kind of ritual. The bacari are more than wine-bars, they are institutions where locals go to socialize, relax and have fun. This tour is a full immersion into this local ‘philosophy’, a must-do if you really want to discover the most genuine Venice.

What you'll do

Venice
Venice, Italy
We will explore Venice’s back-streets to find the best bacari where you will mingle with locals. You will learn (and taste) what ‘cicchetti’ are (and why you don’t have to call it tapas! ) and why we call ‘ombra’ a glass of wine. The tastiness of Cicchetti will delight your palate, the variety of wines will tickle your soul and the local atmosphere will win you over. This tour is a perfect introduction to Venice and will give you the confidence (thanks to all the precious insider tips and info shared by our local guides!) to keep exploring it by yourself avoiding the classical touristy traps. Moving on the back-streets we will stop in 4 different bacari where only locals go to fully experience the Venetian ritual of a Bacaro tour! You will taste 5 traditional cicchetti and 4 glasses of wine (not forgetting our bubbly prosecco!) learning their recipes, history and characteristics. You will explore Venice walking from one bacaro to the other on quiet alleys full of atmosphere. During the morning tour, we will also visit the local market (fish, fruits and vegetables), from where the fresh ingredients used to prepare cicchetti come. The tour will end in campo dell’Erbaria a lively little square close to the Rialto bridge on the market side, a place full of history and other interesting bacari where to go after the tour.
