Varenna: Guided Walking Tour With Wine & Food Tasting

Nadya was absolutely fantastic ! I cannot say enough, good things about her knowledge of the area and how good she was to us !

Our guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area. The wines, cheeses, and meats we sampled were all delicious.

Nadia was an excellent tour guide. As a local of Varenna, she was super informative and well versed in the history of the region. The food & wine tasting was the highlight for us. It was a great tour. Very relaxed. Nadia was friendly and relaxed. We also loved that she went the extra mile and dressed in her local traditional costume.

Great introduction to Varenna. We took this tour on our first day and was so glad we did. Nadia was excellent. She really wants you to have a wonderful experience in her city. She knew we had a boat tour an hour after the food tour. She extended our tour by 45 minutes and took us right to the boat pier.

Nadia is authentically from Varenna. It was wonderful walking the streets with her as she greeted friends and neighbors. The food, the wine, the scenery, the history, the people, and her personal stories were second to none! Every scenic corner took our breath away!

Great way to start your Varenna visit! Nadia is fun and informative and gave us a good overview and insight into the history of Varenna and the lake. The wine tasting was amazing, and we would go back to this shop.

Tour guide very professional, good knowledge of the places visited and top of the top the choice of the food place she took me

It was really a very nice and rich experience! Hiking with Nadia around the lake means enjoying beautiful views and learning a lot about the history, traditions and habits of the people who live around! She is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable…I suggest this experience to everybody!

The walking food tour was an amazing experience from start to finish and we cannot speak highly enough of our tour guide Nadia who was just fabulous!!! She was so knowledgeable about lake Como, the village of Varenna and it's history, the local food we ate and the wine we certainly enjoyed. We would highly recommend this 3 hrs Tour to anyone, the best starting to introduce lake Como and romantic Varenna.

A perfect experience: the heart of Varenna through food and wine! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are visiting Varenna, this tour is an absolute must. It was easily the highlight of our trip to Lake Como! The guide (Nadia): Nadia is a force of nature. As a local guide, she doesn't just give you touristy facts; she shares the real soul of the village. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all our questions with genuine passion. Excellent tastings: This isn't your typical tourist trap. We sampled authentic products, from alpine cheeses to local cured meats, along with a selection of wines (the Valtellina red was exceptional!) that truly tell the story of the region. The route: Wandering through the narrow alleys of Varenna while discovering hidden corners and historic shops was magical. The pace was perfect—very relaxed and convivial.

It is so very worthwhile!! Varenna is a lovely lake Como town. It has charm, history & fantastic shops and wine..our day and exposure to Varenna was perfect; include time after to go shop; beats the big lake town of Bellagio.. Our guide Nadia was BEYOND expectations; she was charming & knowledgeable with a friendliness that was sincere! What ever she offers I would do! I would love to come back and book another itinerary with her.. don’t miss out

Sabrina was wonderful. Very informative and wanted to make sure we understood and had a good time. She became a friend ‘

It was a great experience. Nadia was very knowledgeable of the town and shared everything! She also introduced us to other shop owners during our tour. She was also kind enough to help us secure a dinner reservation. The food was excellent.

It was great to have our own personal tour of Varenna with Nadia. She is very knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed the food and wine at the stop she had chosen. Great quality.

Nadia is a local to Varenna and was able to share her love of this beautiful city with my husband and me. She really embraces the culture (including the outfit she wore which represented an earlier time in history of Varenna) and gave us an appreciation of what makes Varenna so special.

Our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and taught us all kinds of things about Varenna. It was clear she really loved the town and we appreciated her time. However, it really isn’t a food tour. We walked for about two hours, and then sat and shared a charcuterie board and a few glasses of wine. On other food tours, we’ve been on, we’ve sampled a wide variety of foods and eaten throughout the tour. We’ve often substituted the tour for a meal. We weren’t able to do that this time. I would describe this more as a historical walking tour of the town that ends with wine and a small sampling of charcuterie. Because that isn’t something we were interested in, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.

Great Tour and a terrific Tour Guide. One of the highlights of our trip! Do not miss the opportunity if you go to Varenna while in Lake Como!

Nadia was a wonderful tour guide who added context and history for what was in front of us. She grew up in the town, so she could also tell us how things have changed. We enjoyed delicious meats and cheeses while Stefano shared his extensive knowledge of three local wines. I recommend this trip, preferably the first day of your arrival.

Nadia was a terrific guide - so knowledgeable! We enjoyed a beautiful walk through Varenna & then enjoyed delicious wine & cheese!

The tour was amazing!! We had the chance to learn new things about Varenna, and then we went to this amazing place for wine tasting and it was incredible! I highly recommend it for anyone that would visit lake Como! It’s worth it! Thank you very much!
