About Us
Nice to meet you!
We are Giada and Loris, tour leaders and sommeliers. In 2020 we founded Your Local in Venice, our independent tour company. Our tours allow us to share our passion for Venice, its history, and of course food and wine, with guests from all over the world.
Giada
Born and raised in Treviso, I came to Venice to study languages at university.
Soon I started to discover Venice’s hidden gems, breath-taking views, secret places and of course, best food and wine venues. Without even realizing it, I was in love.
How would I define myself? A knowledge seeker: I love to keep on discovering and learning especially when it comes to culture and enogastronomy (my last achievement was becoming a certified sommelier).
Ask me anything about local life, history, enogastronomy and culture: nothing makes me happier than curious guests!
Loris
I lived in different places in Italy, from the amazing Puglia to the marvellous Sardinia, but when I arrived to Venice I knew that it was going to be the place that I could call home.
No other place is as unique to me, but I loved living in other italian cities as well. We could even say that I learnt more about different cultures since in Italy every region has its unique food, local language and history.
Working as a Tour Leader allows me to share with you my experience and knowledge of Venice and the rest of my country, be it food and wine culture, history or local lifestyle.
Like Giada, I keep studying to be constantly updated. Wine for example may be thousands of years old, but there’s always something new to learn.
