EATING & DRINKING LIKE A VENETIAN

Why drink alone? Venice Urban Adventures ( 348 980 85 66; www.veniceurbanadventures.com; cicheti tours €77; tours 11.30am & 5.30pm Mon-Sat) offers intimate tours of happy-hour hotspots led by knowledgeable, enthusiastic, English-speaking local foodies. Tours have up to 12 participants and cover ombre (wine by the glass) and cicheti (bar snacks) in five (yes, five) bacari (wine bars), and a tipsy Rialto gondola ride (weather permitting). Tours depart from Campo della Maddalena in Cannaregio and end at Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge).

If you want to learn to cook like an Italian mama or eat like a Venetian gondolier look no further than Cook in Venice (www.cookinvenice.com; tours €35 to €60, courses €140 to €225), Monica and Arianna’s wonderful cookery classes and food tours. These two Venetian cooks are a tour de force: warmly welcoming, engaging teachers and passionate connoisseurs of Venetian food and wine. Whipping up polpettas or zabaglione in Arianna’s country home is a truly memorable experience, while Monica’s food tours have earned high praise from Katie Caldesi, Alex Polizzi and numerous well-fed chefs!
