A walking food tour to explore old fashioned grocers and traditional taverns of the old Verona and to discover local specialities.
In this Verona food tour you will taste a curated selection of the most representative products of our city. Our gastronomic tradition is strictly linked to local history and to diverse areas of the province. During the walk, your guide will help you discover the stories behind every bite.
For example, we will talk about the local variety of rice called Vialone Nano. It grows in the southern plains of the city, an area rich in natural spring waters. In contrast, the typical Monte Veronese cheese comes from the high pastures of the Lessini Mountains, which surround Verona.
Furthermore, we will stop at a small artisan pasta workshop. Depending on the time of day, you might see the skilled pasta masters at work. There, we will taste a portion of fresh pasta of the day, such as Tortellini, Lasagna, or Bigoli (the signature pasta of Verona).
Afterward, the tour will head to a traditional tavern. Here, you will enjoy a classic aperitif with a “cicchetto“—the local version of a tapa—paired with a fresh glass of Soave or Valpolicella wine.
This Verona food tour is fully customizable. We can easily adapt the tastings according to your personal preferences or food allergies.
