Our Veneto Cooking Vacations

Cooking Vacations In Veneto

Discover our Venice Food Tours and Veneto Region Cooking Vacations!

Come experience the cuisine of the Veneto on a Venice food tour or an Italian cooking vacation in the Veneto countryside, and learn about famous Veneto wines such as Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave, and Prosecco on a Venice wine tour.

Whether you wish to live like a native in incomparable Venice or explore the lesser-known areas of the Veneto wine regions, an Italy culinary vacation in the Veneto with The International Kitchen will provide you with an authentic look into this stunning northern retreat. Venice itself needs no introduction: called “La Serenissima,” Venice is a labyrinth of canals and narrow streets that has enchanted tourists for over a thousand years, and is an idyllic setting for an exciting Venice food tour or Venice wine tour. Less known to outsiders, the Veneto region in its entirety offers much to the traveler on our Italy food and wine tours: from the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to the fertile banks of the Po River, the Veneto gave birth to legendary wines that you can explore on a Venice wine tour or wine tastings in the Veneto countryside.

Venice Food Tours and Cooking Vacations in the Veneto

Venice and the surrounding region offer fine cuisine, which you will explore during your Venice food tour or cooking vacation. The eastern part of the region is on the Adriatic Coast, while the west is home to Lake Garda, both of which means plenty of fresh fish and seafood, such as in the famed dish sarde in saor (sweet and sour sardines), which are a must on a Venice food tour. Unlike many regions we visit on our Italy cooking vacations, pasta is not king here: rice and polenta are. The polenta you try on our Venice food tours might be soft and liquid, or it could be hard, sliced, and toasted, but it will usually be served with a saucy meat or game dish. The risotto dishes are numerous and vary by the specific provinces they hail from, but some of the more famous (which you will surely taste on any Venice food tour) are risotto al nero di seppia (with cuttlefish ink), risotto all’amarone (with Amarone wine), and risi e bisi (rice with peas and pancetta). Of course, these are only a few of the delicious dishes you might taste on a Venice food tour with The International Kitchen!
