Once your sweet cravings are satisfied, explore wine bars and enjoy typical Venetian drinks paired with the renowned cicchetti for lunch or dinner, while learning about the creation of each dish.

• San Polo - Step back in time by visiting Venice’s oldest bacaro with us. Discover why this charming wine bar was a favorite of the legendary lover Giacomo Casanova as you taste some of their best-selling cicchetti, a local Venetian snack. The bar maintains its old-world allure with wooden beams, copper pots, and standing-only counters where locals and travelers gather over traditional food.

• San Polo - Did you know Venice was among the first European cities to import sugar from the East, making it a luxurious and coveted ingredient? This early access led to a rich pastry tradition blending Eastern spices with Italian creativity. From delicate tiramisu to the festive frittelle of Carnival, Venetian pastries are bursting with flavor. One tour stop is a family-owned pastry shop, where you’ll learn why Venetian sweets are more than just treats—they’re edible expressions of the city’s opulent past and its passion for celebration, craftsmanship, and flavor.
