Venice at Sunset: Cicchetti, Food & Wine Tour

Why Take This Tour?

Among Venice's stunning architecture and canals is some of the best food in Italy—if you know where to go and what to order! This Venice cicchetti tour will introduce you to the local tradition of small bites (cicchetti) and the popular bacari (Venetian wine bars). By the end of your cicchetti tour Venice, your guide will have equipped you with the local know-how and confidence to tackle any bacaro like a pro—no matter how crowded.

Go Bacari Hopping with a Local

A local bacaro with a modern vibe is the first stop of your Venice cicchetti tour. Locals love this spot for its high-quality bread-based cicchetti and flavorsome spritzes, and that’s why you’ll be trying both!

From there, you'll enjoy a stroll through the lively San Polo neighborhood and make our way into artsy Dorsoduro as the evening comes alive. You'll head next to a low-key neighborhood bar with friendly staff. On the menu: cold cuts paired with prosecco.

Cicchetti by the Canal

Afterwards, it’s time to drop by a Venetian wine bar that fuses contemporary and traditional. Situated right on the canal, it’s the perfect spot to sip some wine while choosing from their mouthwatering selection of fried cicchetti!

Time for Pasta and More Wine

Now that you've gotten a taste of cicchetti culture in Venice, it's time for the main course: pasta! Wind your way through the backroads to a cozy ristorante tucked away from the busy main streets. Here, you’ll sit down for a plate of traditional pasta and a glass of wine.

Gelato That Tastes Like Tradition

Finally, it wouldn’t be right to pass through Venice without seeking out some traditional Italian gelato. That’s exactly what you’ll find here at one of the last places still serving authentic, homemade gelato artigianale. Step onto the deck with your treat and take in the breathtaking view of the Giudecca Canal just in time for sunset!
