Highlights

Step back into Renaissance Florence with our Florence Wine Window Tour, a walk that combines history, architecture, and the city’s world-famous wine culture. This tour takes you to Florence’s buchette del vino — “wine windows” that reveal centuries-old secrets about Florentine life and commerce. Perfect for history buffs and wine enthusiasts alike, this immersive experience will have you tasting the past in every sip! Explore Florence’s charming neighborhoods, where small arched windows line the walls of ancient buildings. Learn how these tiny openings, created by noble families, were used to sell wine directly to the public. Your guide will reveal the fascinating history of these windows, from their origins to their role in modern-day Florence. In the meantime, you’ll taste an array of local wines from Tuscany’s premier regions—Chianti, Super Tuscans, and more—served at select wine windows along the way, but not only! Each stop includes tastings paired with Tuscan specialties.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
