Description
An Exclusive Tour Among Ancient Traditions and Authentic Flavors
First, begin your amazing journey by meeting your private licensed tour guide in Florence. Together, you will embark on an original food and wine tour built around the city’s historical shops and the famous San Lorenzo food market. Here, you can still breathe and live an authentic Florentine food experience. Specifically, the tour includes a sort of “treasure hunt” to find the so-called “buchette del vino,” small arched windows where, long ago, people could easily buy a glass or a flask of wine. During the walk, you will also have the occasion to learn about the ancient Florentine families who ordered these windows to be carved into the façades of their palaces.
Exclusive Tastings Between Art and Culture
We will alternate these “spots” of history and art with some special tastings. For instance, you’ll enjoy a glass of Chianti red wine with a typical Italian Bruschetta, a thick slice of bread seasoned with 100% Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. After that, you will taste local salami, ham, and cheese, followed by a take-away warm “Pappa al Pomodoro” or Ribollita soup. To conclude, you can dip some typical Cantuccini biscuits into sweet Vin Santo wine!
An Immersion in the Authentic Flavors of Florence
In short, this is a tasty way to discover local food traditions and beautiful corners of one of the most beautiful Italian cities: Florence!
