Venice Bacaro Food Tours

Bacaro is the term Venetians use for a simple restaurant or wine bar, those bars that offer the typical Venetian aperitif with an “ombra” (small glass of wine) and a cicchetto (something typical to eat). Venetians love to take a bit of time after work to enjoy the summer vibes near the canal, with a glass of wine or maybe a spritz. Choose between a Bacaro Food Tour and a Bacaro Market and Food Tour.

At first glance Venice might look like a soulless city spoiled by mass tourism, in fact, it is not easy for foodies to move around without falling in tourist traps!  Our Venice street food tour and wine tour allows you to enjoy the city like a local. The tour explores the areas of San Polo and Dorsoduro, leading travellers around the intricate labyrinth of the old town to reach our favorite old food & wine bars where one can enjoy the top daily selection of cicchetti (gourmet finger food) topped in a very creative way and drink a selection of regional drinks such as wine, spritz and grappa.
