RIALTO MARKET MORNING TOUR – WITH LOCAL FOOD

in its animation, in the colors and smells of fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood, in the cheerful mishmash of languages and people.

This tour is available every morning except Sunday and the most important holidays (Xmas, New Year’s, Easter). On Mondays there is no fish market, so it is better to schedule Tuesdays through Saturdays. We pick you up at the hotel and transfer by water-taxi unless you prefer an invigorating morning walk.

Once on the Rialto island you will realize that food shopping is a preferred pastime for the locals, the pleasure being that of hailing friends and starting a conversation, that will almost inevitably lead to one of the innumerable wine-bars for a glass of something plus some little munchies. Hopping from place to place becomes a real pleasure and a great gourmet experience, as the quality of both wine and food is super!

Depending on your tastes, our guide will address you to best food stores, should you want to buy some wines, grappa, balsamic vinegars, rather that dried porcini mushrooms, coffee, chocolates, sundried tomatoes, marzipan and more. And then we will imitate the natives sharing with them the highly civilized habit of drinking good wine and enjoying delicious finger-food. Sitting at a table…with a good viewpoint on the local scene.

While savoring Venetian delicacies, better known under the name of ‘cicheti’ you will learn something more about traditional food, best wines on the territory and most recommendable restaurants in town. Just before you get drunk and drowsy our water-taxi will show up and head to the restaurant or hotel.
