Welcome to Cannaregio!

Once a working-class neighborhood, Cannaregio has become the center of Venetian cuisine and culture. This is the most populous of Venice's six sestieri (districts), and it’s packed with local life and tiny, authentic pubs, taverns, and restaurants. Enjoy the buzz of the early evening as you make your way to the first stop of the tour.

Bacari (Wine Bars) of Venice

For centuries, the backstreet bars, pubs, and taverns of Venice have fueled the local communities and Venetian culture, providing a place to come together, relax, talk, and of course drink! Your local guide will explain the history of bacari as you visit some of their favorite spots in Cannaregio.

These little bars are full of atmosphere, and they’re the perfect place to get a taste of what Venetian life is really like.

Cicchetti, Local Wine, and the Famous Spritz

This is an Italian bar-hopping tour, so you won’t go thirsty! You’ll be served three drinks during the tour and can choose between local wine, soft drinks, or a refreshing spritz. Hugely popular in Venice, these prosecco-based cocktails come in both bitter and sweet varieties, depending upon your tastes.

When Italians drink, they usually have a bite to eat too so they don’t get too tipsy, and Venetian bacari are experts in making those perfect little drinking snacks for the table. Don't hesitate to sample these tasty cicchetti! There are flavors for meat eaters and vegetarians alike!

At the end of you tour, your guide will wave goodbye and leave you to enjoy the rest of your night. Need a restaurant recommendation? Then make sure you ask your guide for some of their favorite eateries in the neighborhood!
