heavenly wine tasting experience
My wife and I had a tremendous visit to the Valpolicella region of Italy with our guide Chiara where we visited beautiful wineries and tasted incredible wines. Chiara handled everything and our visits were as smooth as can be. All arrangements and interactions with the estates came off perfectly. I would highly recommend this organization and Chiara in particular. Would like to do it all over again!
Response from the operator: Thanks ! Waiting for you to explore other wine areas !

Excellent experience in Venice with Chiara as our tour guide
My wife and I along with my mother and a number of friends spent 4 days in Venice late last year. We learned so much about the rich history of Venice and the outlying islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello from Chiara. She is a stellar tour guide. Without question the best I've ever had experience with. The details and handling were so thorough and intimate. Our vacation was the best ever and I'm certain that is thanks in large part to how well Chiara planned and executed every meal and every tour that we took over those days. She is an encyclopedia of knowledge covering centuries of history and literally hundreds of locations. I just don't know how we could have had such a wonderful time without her. Suffice to say she has my highest recommendation if you are looking for a guide in the region.

Venice-A Delightful Stop Yet the Secret Door is Steps away with Chiara
Way beyond great recommendations for the best places to eat or sleep, Chiara had a sense of knowing that my wife and I (having visited Venice several times), were looking for something off the beaten path; away from those shuffling tourists led by flag waving leaders. After spending a few hours in the hidden parts of Venice and especially the Jewish Ghetto, where Jews were compelled to live, Chiara opened the secret door to the Veneto region including the Euganean hills with highlights like wine tasting and oil and prosciutto farm. And speaking of secrets my wife purchased 7 pairs of designer shoes at a factory outlet paying only a fraction of the price-- thanks (I think) Chiara. A wonderful hostess--now a wonderful friend.

A Truly Amazing Italian Experience!
Our family, including our 13 and 15 year old daughters traveled to Venice five days ahead of our Royal Caribbean Mediterranean cruise this past June. This was our first experience in traveling to Europe, we had little personal experience to draw from. My wife, after researching various travel agencies and directly contacting references, decided to use Chiara of My Venice Travel Guide. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! She customized an itinerary that was truly amazing and even kept our 13 year old engaged. Upon arrival, Chiara met us at the airport and started our tour. We toured the Valpolicella wine country and visited the Zyme winery. We thoroughly explored Venice and the islands of Murano and Burano. Padova, the Vinalta Winery in the Euganean Hills, and the Village of Arqua' Petrarca were next. We could never have seen and done as much as we were able to do with Chiara. The third day we ventured even farther out and visited Bassano del Grappa, Marostica, a cherry harvest, the Poli grappa distillery, Cittadella and the Brenta Riviera! Every night, Chiara would drop us back in Venice with suggestions for dinner. Chiara drove us to the cruise terminal and picked us up after our cruise for one more day in Italy! We spent the morning in Verona, then headed up to Lake Garda and the villages of Lazise and Peschiera. We felt this tour was extremely personalized and very well thought out. Chiara was extremely professional and easy going. She was very flexible (great when traveling with 2 teens!). We would recommend her highly if you are traveling in this region. We would definitely use Chiara again on our next trip back to Italy.

A VERY SPECIAL GUIDE
The owner of My Venice Travel, Chiara Ulian, is the "Un-Guide". She can take you in Venice, Padua, Verona and about a dozen other wonderful towns to see the normal sights...churches, museums, shopping, etc. But that is not her specialty. What she excels at is taking you to the hidden places that most tourists never see. We booked her for a day for a tour of Venice and Padova. We expected to see some interesting things, but we were amazed by the things she showed us in both towns, from the hidden bookshop in Venice to the wonderful food market in Paduva. We arrived home exhausted but thrilled by the day. We enjoyed her tour so much that we booked another day, this time in Verona. By now we were staying in Bologna, so we drove up and met her at the train station. From there we drove to the city center in Verona and she showed us the most amazing stuff. Not just the tourist stuff but the backround of why the ancient places were important. She also has a wonderful sense of humor and can tell you great stories about the royalty from B.C to current! Then it was off to the Valpolicecella region for lunch and a wine tasting. We had an amazing lunch at Enoteca Valpolicella. I would never have found this place, one of the best meals we've had in our two months in Italy. Then off to the wine tasting. Somehow, Chiara always knows the someone, who knows someone, and she can always make something amazing happen. She is fluent in english and has a terrific sense of adventure. And she knows hundreds of unique places to enjoy in Italy!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Venice.
How much does Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier cost?
+
Prices start at $600 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 Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Venice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine & Food tasting in Venice with a Sommelier 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.
