Step away from the tourist trail to discover Venice’s culinary history throughout the centuries: from the days when the city was a major spice trade port up to the present. As you learn about the influence of Venice’s maritime history on regional cuisine, learn where the locals go to eat and taste some of the city’s standout dishes for yourself. Explore the Rialto Market and visit a few renowned cicchetti bars to enjoy Venetian-style "tapas" with wine.
Time for an introduction to cicchetti, Venice’s famous tapas-like bites, at a family-run bar. Enjoy two local favorites paired with a drink.
Next, at another family-run bar, you'll try two of their specialty cicchetti featuring cod with a glass of prosecco.
This family-run delicatessen shop is a favorite of many locals. You'll try a selection of regional cheeses.
