A wonderful way to get to know Verona
Cindy_F, Feb 2026
What a wonderful way to get to know Verona's food and wine culture! Jlenia was a knowledgeable host, and an overall wonderful guide to the highlights of the city centre, as well as the history of not just the food and wine, but also the overall culture of the Veneto Region. My husband and I had a wonderful time walking the streets of Verona and enjoyed being introduced to its unique food and wine. Thank you and highly recommended!

Fabulous tour by Anna. She gave us a wonderful food tour plus history of the amazing city. She also gave us tips on where to eat for our stay.
Small group, went through...

Small group, went through the local food scene and culture from breakfast to apperitivo, lunch, wine, and gelato. Our guide Alessandra was superb in pacing the itinerary and guided us in English throughout. Good price point too. Would highly recommend it.
Time well spent and well fed
Cary W, Nov 2025
We have taken food tours in Rome and Mexico City. Since this was our first visit to Verona, we thought this would be a good way to get introduced to the city and its cuisine. We joined a small group (five of us in total) with Alessandra as our guide. After a first stop for coffee (naturally), we meandered through town sampling fine food and drink for over three hours. We never felt rushed — in fact it was all very casual. Our main meal was risotto Amarone, something completely different from any Italian food we’d experienced. And of course we finished up with gelato. All of it was time well spent and we heartily recommend it.

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.
20 minutesPiazza delle Erbe
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.
30 minutesArche Scaligere
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.
30 minutesPorta Borsari - World Heritage Site
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.
