What To Expect

Taste your way through Florence's fascinating culinary history with a 4-hour food and wine tour, including a visit to the famous San Lorenzo Market.

Begin with a stop at a Florentine 'vineria' for a typical 'aperitivo,' with bite-sized samples of Tuscan specialties, including cheese and olives. Sip a variety of Tuscan wines with the appetizers as you learn about the region's wine-making techniques and characteristics of different wine-producing areas of Tuscany.

Walk through the charming streets of Florence's historic center, and through piazzas that once held outdoor food markets where Florentines went daily to shop.

Visit 7 different places throughout the tour to taste the flavors of Tuscany, including fresh pasta, local meat dishes, hearty soups, 'contorni' (typical vegetable side dishes) and more. Hear about what makes Tuscan foods special, from closely-held family recipes to high-quality seasonal ingredients. Learn how the region's food history is tied to its culture.
