Itinerary
Follow your local foodie, live a one-of-a-kind experience and, just like a real local, start your day in the right way drinking an authentic Italian espresso. This is how this culinary journey begins and after a brief stroll near majestic Arena, you'll deepen into the original local delicacies.
After a very Italian beginning, a classic aperitif is waiting for you. You'll stop in one of the most traditional "Osterie" of the city, where you will savor some local products, such as Soppressa (a type of salami), Monte Veronese cheese and the famous cicchetti from Verona.
Then discover the aromas and main features of the traditional local wines, such as the Valpolicella red wine, or the white wines coming from the East of Verona and Lake Garda.
The next step will make your mouth water: enjoy a traditional dish and discover some local culinary traditions with your expert guide. Continue your visit in the food district of Verona, where the most "Osterie" and botteghe are located
Finally, stop in an historical Gelateria to taste a yummy artisanal Gelato to refresh your mouth. This tour will allow you to see Verona from a brand-new perspective, made of great simplicity and unique flavors.

Traveler reviews
Verona with an expert
Our guide Alessandra was friendly, knowledgeable and the food/wine well curated. We stopped for coffee and pastries, meatballs, risotto, wine tasting and gelato. All lovely! We found out lots about Verona and the region.
What an amazing way to discover Verona!
We had such a great time discovering the history and food of Verona. Alessandra was such a knowledgeable and delightful guide! We loved every single place we visited and every food/wine we had. We really appreciated the little stops along the way with bits of history. Everything was as described and even more! Grazie Alessandra per la bella esperienza!
Verona excellent food tour.
Alessandra and Martina were fabulous. They took us to local, non-touristy places. They were interesting with local Verona food and wine and locations. I would highly recommend this tour.
Food and fun
A great introduction to Verona on our first morning in town. Lorenzo was lively and informative, and there was a great variety of food and drink
Amazing trip!
Amazing trip! We traveled by train from Venice to Verona in the morning. It was a bit of a walk from the train station to the meeting point but a beautiful and safe city. Our guide Alessandra was fantastic! Best guide ever! It was a very small group and very engaging. I learned so much and had wonderful food and wine. Thank you!
