Overview
The Bacari walking tour will lead you through the narrow streets in order to discover historic wine bars and typical small restaurants called bacari. You’ll be introduced to the delicious Venetian cuisine, tasting local cichetti, a sort of tapas made with typical Venetian ingredients, and wines for which the Veneto region is famous. You'll feel like a true Venetian, flying from place to place through the narrow streets off the beaten path, assisted by your personal sommelier guide. A unique opportunity to discover the true Venice with a native guide.
Venice may be a small city, but it is packed with bars, so pick an area to explore on your tour:
Castello Bacari Tour
Historical home of the shipbuilding community, this sestiere is the most densely populated residential area of Venice. Local attractions include Venice’s Naval History Museum, the glorious church and public space of Santa Maria Formosa and the beautiful San Pietro di Castello basilica, once Venice’s official cathedral. You’ll walk by the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, considered the pantheon of the city, and enjoy the atmosphere of the biggest boatyard in the Mediterranean Sea. As you can easily guess, the quarter boasts some of the most authentic bacari in town where, mingling with locals, you'll get to taste typical wine and delightful ciccheti.
Cannereggio Bacari Tour
Walking through the tall buildings of the world's first Jewish ghetto in Europe, you’ll get to know one of the less touristy districts in Venice, with its synagogues and its small traditional shops. The scenic Fondamenta degli Ormesini and Fondamenta della Misericordia will lead you to the outstanding Madonna dell’Orto church, where the famous painter Tintoretto is buried, and to the recently restored Scuola Grande della Misericordia. During the walking tour, you'll get to taste regional wines and enjoy local delicacies in some of the quarter's oldest bacari.
Santa Croce and Dorsoduro Bacari Tour
Walking through these residential districts orsestieri, you’ll get to admire marvelous churches such as San Nicolò dei Mendicoli, San Sebastiano, San Pantalon and Santa Maria della Salute and pass by the Ca’ Foscari university. Discover the city's unique fire station and the floating boat market, right by the famous Ponte dei Pugni. You’ll see one of the last gondolas’ workshops and enjoy the beautiful view of the Giudecca Canal from the Fondamenta delle Zattere. The area is filled with bacari and wine shops, so it won't miss the opportunity to try the delicious local wines and some tasty cichetti.
