Imagine stepping away from the bustling crowds and into the quiet, hidden alleyways where the heart of Venice truly beats. This is the beginning of our exclusive venetian cicheti and wine experience, a private journey into the city’s most authentic culinary soul. This tour is crafted not for the tourist, but for the discerning traveller who seeks to connect with the genuine spirit of Venice, guided by an insider.
An invitation to the real Venice
This is your invitation to live the city like a Venetian. Forget the crowded landmarks for a moment and immerse yourself in a cherished local ritual.
Tour the best Venetian taverns “cicheterie” to discover the local culinary tradition. Between one “cicheto” and another you will become part of the real Venetian atmosphere through the most mysterious and historical places of our city, those that usually no tourist knows when not accompanied by a true Venetian. Indeed, this is more than a simple Venice food tour; it is an authentic Venetian experience curated to reveal the city’s most intimate side.
A symphony of flavours and sensations
Your private guide will lead you through a labyrinth of charming calli to authentic, historic bacari that are cherished by locals. Here, you will engage all your senses. Picture the delicate creaminess of freshly made baccalà mantecato served on a crispy slice of toasted bread. Taste the subtle flavours of sarde in saor, a perfect sweet and sour masterpiece.
Furthermore, you will notice the warm, inviting atmosphere inside these hidden gems. Hear the gentle clinking of glasses and the soft murmur of the Venetian dialect. This is the soul of our luxury bacaro tour. It is an intimate experience, worlds away from the city’s noisy and impersonal tourist restaurants.
The art of Venetian wine pairing
This journey is also a private wine tasting in Venice, designed to delight your palate. We forgo the ordinary house wines often served to tourists. Instead, your guide has hand-selected a range of exquisite regional wines. You will discover crisp, aromatic whites from the Veneto foothills and elegant, light-bodied reds that are local favourites.
Each glass, therefore, is chosen to perfectly complement the flavours of the cicheti, creating a truly harmonious tasting experience. Your guide will share the stories behind each wine, connecting you to the rich terroir of the region.
Your private Guide: the key to a hidden Venice
What truly elevates this experience is your companion: a passionate, local expert. They are not just a guide, but a storyteller and a friend in the city. Consequently, they hold the keys to doors that remain closed to the average visitor, sharing insights that bring the history and culture of Venice to life with every step and every taste.
