Venice Bacaro Wine Crawl

Name: Venice Bacaro Wine Crawl
Address: Veneto, IT

The authentic Venetian tavern crawl—sip wine and spritz at tiny bacari while eating cicchetti (Venetian snacks) in hidden corners of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro like a local.

What to do there

TourVenice Bacaro Wine CrawlIn 1462 Cantina Do Mori opened near the Rialto — and hasn't closed since. The tradition it joined was already 200 years old: workers and merchants stopping for an ombra, a shadow of wine, named, the story goes, because sellers followed the shade of San Marco's Campanile to keep their barrels cool. The cicchetti you'll eat here — creamy baccalà on polenta — are made with the dried Arctic cod that Pietro Querini, a sea captain shipwrecked in Norway in 1432, is credited with popularising in the Veneto. A fish market, four bacari and an optional Bellini. One city that has been drinking wine standing up, in alleys, since the 13th century.
