About this experience
Enjoy real Venice away from the tourist crowd led by a young local guide. A relaxing 3 hours street food and wine walking tour around the alleys and the fine wine bars of Venice to try the best selection of cicchetti (Venetian-style tapas) and sip various regional drinks. Bars have been carefully selected based on the quality of their food/drinks and the authenticity of the location. The tour offers a selection of local prosecco, natural wines and more drinks, all originally from the Veneto region. All our guides are local, young, passionate about Venice and its cuisine and, of course, professionally licensed. The wine experience combines insights into Venice's culture, its rich history, arts and daily habits. Our commitment is to show you Venice the way it really is not the way tourists want to see it.

Amazing experience
Beatrice is an absolute joy as a guide. The pace and spacing of each of the tiny locations was perfect. It is worth every cent. She answered all our questions and suggested other restaurants and places to go for true Venetian cuisine. I would book this again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review, Joe! We’re delighted to hear that Beatrice made your Venetian evening so special. Her passion for sharing local food traditions and insider tips is exactly what we love to offer our guests. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. A big hug from the Streaty crew!

A very enjoyable walking food & wine tour!
We had a very enjoyable small group walking food and wine tour. We are vegetarian so this added a wrinkle to the typical appetizers which are fish and meat based, but our guide expertly navigated veggie options for us. The prosecco, wines, and sweet wine were all amazing. We would definitely recommend this tour! Grazie!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Stefanie, for your lovely review. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed such a pleasant small-group food and wine experience in Venice. It’s great to know that our guide was able to accommodate your vegetarian preferences and still make the evening feel relaxed, varied, and delicious. We’re especially pleased that the wines and prosecco were a highlight for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in Florence, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Catania, Palermo, Turin, Bari, Syracuse, Messina and more. A warm greeting from the Streaty crew

Wine and Cicchetti with Guilia!
We loved the wine and cicchetti with our local guide Giulia! We had a variety of wine and food. Each location was quaint and full of locals. Our guide provided us with explanations of the wine and the food. She went out of her way to find alternate food choices for those of us adverse to some of the seafood. It was a fantastic evening. This tour is a great way to get to know other fellow travelers. We highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you had such a fantastic evening enjoying wine and cicchetti 😊 Just a small note — your guide was actually Beatrice, and she’ll be delighted to know you appreciated her care, especially in accommodating different food preferences. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the local spots and the chance to meet fellow travelers — that’s exactly what we aim for! Thanks again for your recommendation and for joining our Venice Food & Wine Tour. Hope to see you again in Florence, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Catania, Palermo or Turin! A warm greeting from the Streaty crew

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Venice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Venice is not rushed.
Is A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 153 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide?
+
Around 54 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Venice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Venice and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A Venetian Evening: Wine Tasting and Cicchetti with a Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Venice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Venice?
+
On Outty we rank every Venice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine in Venice, Eating Venice Small Group Food & Drinks Tour, Venice Bacaro Food Tour: Eat and Drink like a Venetian. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Venice?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
