Discover Querini’s Itineraries in Venice

Unique experiences by Top Venice to retrace Querini's story through history, flavours, and legends

Querini’s Itineraries in Venice by Top Venice offers unforgettable experiences inspired by the journeys of Pietro Querini, perfect for those who want to discover the city through stories of exploration, tradition, and authentic Venetian culture.

“A Venetian Discovering the World” is a three-hour guided tour through some of Venice’s most iconic locations. From the Procuratie in St. Mark’s Square to the Marciana Library, where you’ll see the remarkable Fra Mauro map, and on to the Rialto Bridge, where stockfish first entered Venetian cuisine, Querini’s journey comes to life through the very streets and stories of the Serenissima.

“History, Mysteries and Legends” is a playful, educational experience for families and kids. Starting at the Arsenale and continuing through San Marco to Rialto, young explorers will follow clues, solve riddles, and uncover fascinating stories about Venice and its maritime legacy in an engaging treasure hunt format.

For those passionate about food and tradition, Querini’s Itineraries also include two culinary experiences centred on baccalà, the beloved ingredient brought to Venice centuries ago. With “Baccalà: Venetian Recipes”, enjoy a guided tasting tour through the Rialto Market and traditional osterie, sampling dishes like baccalà mantecato and baccalà in rosso, paired with local wines and cicchetti. Prefer to cook? “Learning to Cook Baccalà” offers a hands-on cooking class: shop with a local chef, prepare traditional recipes in a Venetian home, and enjoy a shared meal accompanied by fine wine and authentic flavours.

For wine lovers, there’s “The Streets of Malvasia: Wine and Its Tradition in Venice”, a three-hour journey guided by a professional sommelier. This tour explores the historic role of Malvasia, a sweet and aromatic wine, in Venetian life.

From the bustling Rialto Market to the Riva del Vin, and on to the Church of San Silvestro, you’ll visit places that once defined the city’s wine trade. Along the way, you’ll learn the differences between various types of Malvasia, explore hidden wine cellars, and enjoy tastings paired with traditional cicchetti, a true Venetian-style aperitivo.
