Bar All'Arco is a tiny and legendary bacaro in the streets behind the Rialto market in San Polo, celebrated throughout Venice for both its exceptional cicchetti and its reliably excellent and affordable wine selection. The bar is minuscule and always busy, with locals crowding the counter and the narrow calle outside in the morning and early afternoon hours. The wine list focuses on the local Veneto and Friuli producers that have supplied the bacaro tradition for generations, and the combination of outstanding cicchetti and well-priced local wine makes Bar All'Arco one of the most authentic and enjoyable wine drinking experiences in Venice.

The Cantine del Vino già Schiavi, universally known as Schiavi, is one of the most beloved and authentic wine bars in Venice, a wonderfully unpretentious wine shop and bacaro in Dorsoduro near the Accademia bridge that has been serving excellent local wine to a devoted following for generations. The selection of Veneto and Friuli wines is outstanding and very reasonably priced, and the cicchetti counter is one of the finest in the city. Standing at the canal-side with a glass of Soave from Schiavi is one of the most quintessentially and perfectly Venetian experiences imaginable, and a visit here is essential for anyone who wants to understand the true spirit of Venetian wine culture.

The bar has an almost mythical status among local Venetians and budget-conscious visitors alike, and the queue of people waiting for their morning glass of wine or early afternoon ombra is a testament to the enduring appeal of a place that has changed almost nothing in decades. Bacareto da Lele is Venice's great democratic wine institution and an essential stop on any visit to the city.

Fondamenta dei Tolentini, 183, 30100 Venezia VE, Italy

Al Mercà is a wonderfully lively and popular small bacaro on the Campo Cesare Battisti near the Rialto market, beloved for its excellent and affordable wine selection and its convivial, outdoor-focused atmosphere. The bar has no seating and very little indoor space, with most of the action taking place on the campo outside where a young and sociable crowd gathers with their glasses of local wine and prosecco throughout the late afternoon and evening. Al Mercà is the perfect embodiment of the relaxed, unpretentious, and deeply enjoyable wine culture that makes drinking in Venice such a pleasure.

Campo Bella Vienna, 213, 30125 Venezia VE, Italy

The wine selection is well chosen and affordably priced, focusing on local Veneto producers, and the small range of cicchetti is of excellent quality. The experience of standing on the fondamenta with a glass of crisp local white wine while watching the gondola craftsmen work across the canal is one of the most genuinely Venetian and quietly magical things you can do in the city.

Sestiere Dorsoduro, 944, 30123 Venezia VE, Italy

Un Mondo Divino is a wonderfully named and equally wonderful wine bar in the Cannaregio sestiere, a warm and convivial enoteca offering an excellent and lovingly curated selection of Italian wines alongside a good range of food options. The bar has a genuine passion for wine at its heart, and the regular events, tastings, and producer evenings that are a feature of the Un Mondo Divino calendar make it one of the most engaging and educational wine destinations in Venice.
