Description

Discover the authentic flavors of Venice with a food tour through Cannaregio and the historic Jewish Ghetto. This progressive lunch or dinner takes you beyond the tourist hotspots, guiding you through hidden alleys where Venetian life truly thrives. Start at a historic family-run bakery, where you’ll taste a traditional Venetian tramezzino, a soft sandwich packed with delicious fillings. Stop at a classic bacaro for a glass of Prosecco col fondo, paired with a flavorful cicchetto, just like the locals enjoy. Then, settle into a traditional Venetian trattoria for a main dish featuring regional ingredients, perfectly complemented by a glass of white wine from Veneto. Experience the city’s iconic spritz with a hands-on demonstration, followed by a tasting of two traditional cicchetti, including baccalà mantecato and saor, both rich in Venetian history. Finally, end your culinary journey with a sweet treat—choose between a creamy tiramisù, a festive Carnival frittella, or artisanal gelato from one of Venice’s top gelaterias. Wander through the city’s charming backstreets, sip and savor the unique flavors of Venice, and uncover the centuries-old culinary traditions that make this city so much more than just its canals.
