Itinerary
Meet your guide at the designated meeting point, and get ready to embark on an unforgettable food adventure through Milan! This aperitivo tour will take you on a journey to discover the many delightful variations of the iconic Italian tradition. From classic cocktails to innovative twists, you'll taste a variety of aperitivi that showcase the best of Milan’s culinary culture. Let the journey begin!
On Viale Gorizia, just steps from the Navigli, you’ll enjoy the traditional tagliere, a generous board of artisanal cured meats, savory bites, and local specialties. Each item reflects Milanese craft and tradition, offering a taste of the flavors Italians savor during long aperitivo evenings. As you eat, take in the lively canals, buzzing cafés, and colorful streets that make Navigli one of Milan’s most vibrant and picturesque neighborhoods.
In the historic Porta Genova area, near Milan’s bustling old station, we’ll sample classic street food bites like focaccia and farinata. Crispy, warm, and packed with flavor, these local favorites offer a true taste of Milanese everyday life. As you enjoy them, take in the lively streets, colorful markets, and the vibrant energy that surrounds this historic part of the city.
Stroll along the iconic canals of Naviglio Grande, where you’ll enjoy a delightful treat: Milanese Risotto. A classic dish from Milan made with Arborio or Carnaroli rice slowly cooked in broth until creamy, enriched with butter, bone marrow, and grated Parmesan. Its signature golden color comes from saffron, which adds a delicate aroma and a subtle earthy sweetness. Rich, luxurious, and silky, it’s sometimes served alongside the traditional ossobuco or meaty alternatives.
At this stop in the lively Ripa di Porta Ticinese area, you’ll enjoy a perfectly crafted cocktail, prepared with care and bursting with flavor. Beyond this tasting, you’ll also experience the essence of Milan’s famous aperitivo culture, a beloved social ritual where locals gather to relax, enjoy small bites, and soak in the vibrant energy of the canals, historic streets, and buzzing nightlife that make this neighborhood so iconic.
At our final stop in the Naviglio Grande area, you’ll enjoy a delicious gelato, crafted with the finest ingredients for a perfectly sweet ending to your tour. Beyond the taste, this moment captures the spirit of Milanese life, as you take in the lively canals, charming bridges, and vibrant atmosphere that make the Naviglio Grande one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods.

About Milan
Milan is Italy's stylish northern powerhouse of fashion and design, with a soaring Gothic cathedral, Leonardo's Last Supper and canal-side evenings.
The Duomo, a forest of white marble spires and statues that took centuries to complete, dominates the city centre, and its roof terraces put you among the pinnacles. Beside it, the glass-roofed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads to La Scala opera house, and the Sforza Castle holds museums including Michelangelo's final sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà.
Top-ranked sights in Milan: Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano), Da Vinci's Last Supper (Il Cenacolo), La Scala (Teatro alla Scala).
