Overview

Savor Italy Tours runs this Eat Drink Repeat walk as a full meal on the move: ten tastings and six regional wines, spread across roughly six stops around the Rialto area. The tour runs 2.5 to 3 hours, though the guide stretches or tightens the pace depending on the group. It starts and finishes at Campo San Giacomo di Rialto, beside the fountain in front of the church, where a guide holds a Food Tours sign.

The route circles through places most visitors pass without tasting anything: Osteria Bancogiro, the Rialto bridge, the Rialto markets, Campo Erberia and the church itself, with about five minutes at each landmark between the eating and drinking. One stop includes wine where Ernest Hemingway once drank, and the tastings add up to more than thirteen different items. Several travellers describe it as their dinner, with plenty of food and wine, so the operator tells you to come hungry. A non alcoholic option exists, and children get extra food since they cannot be served alcohol.

Vaporetto stop at a canal edge with moored boats

It suits anyone who wants to eat and drink their way around the Rialto side of the city rather than tour it dry, and reviewers often praise the guides for their knowledge of local food, wine and history. It does not suit wheelchair users, and hotel pickup is not included.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of the booking, based on the listing and what repeat reviewers say.

Come hungry. The operator bills this as your lunch or dinner all in one, and reviewers back that up.
Meeting point. There is no hotel pickup. From the San Polo side of the Rialto bridge, walk straight for about 10 seconds to the church with the big clock and the fountain beside it. Look for the guide holding a Food Tours sign, and arrive early.
Pace and fitness. The tour lasts a minimum of 2 hours and can run up to 3, depending on the group. One reviewer described the walk as relaxing, and the listing says the guide caters the timing to the group dynamic.
Group size. The standard maximum is 15 travellers, though the listing says high demand can push a group to 20, with extra food and wine offered free when it exceeds 15. Expect a shared, social walk rather than a private guide.
Dietary needs. A non alcoholic option is available, and children receive more food in place of wine. Tell the operator about allergies when you book, not on the day, because rerouting the tour at departure is very hard for them.
Practical extras. Gratuities are not included. The route is not wheelchair accessible but sits near public transport. Several reviewers mention picking up tips on the city, its food and its traditions along the way.

Common issues. Groups can run larger than the usual cap of 15 when demand is high, and the route is not wheelchair accessible. Between May and October the weekend start time shifts to 5:30 pm, and occasionally the tour runs five stops instead of six, with the same total food and wine. No refund or rescheduling is possible if you miss the departure.

Common Questions

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

No, hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. The tour starts and ends at Campo San Giacomo di Rialto, by the fountain in front of the church. Arrive at least 10 minutes early, ideally 15.

What Is Included In The Price?

Six regional wine tastings paired with food, more than thirteen different tastings in total, and an expert local guide. The operator describes the tour as a full lunch or dinner. Gratuities are not included.

Can Children Join The Tour?

Yes, children can join and receive extra food, since alcohol cannot be served to them. A non alcoholic option is available for adults too.

What If I Have Food Allergies?

Tell the operator at the time of booking. They say they will try to accommodate allergies or find a solution that works for both sides. If you only mention an allergy on the day of the tour, it is very hard for them to change the route once the tour has started.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before departure are not refunded or accepted. Cut off times follow the local time in Venice.

Can The Tour Run In Another Language?

Non English tours may be merged with an English speaking group if fewer than 5 people are booked in that language, with a multilingual guide covering your language. A private tour with a guide speaking only Italian, French, German or Spanish for your group carries a surcharge, and you should message the operator in advance. On holidays, all services and communication are conducted in English.
