As twilight falls over Florence and the day’s crowds begin to thin, this intimate evening food and wine tour invites you to uncover the flavours, traditions, and tucked-away local favourites that define Florence’s rich gastronomic heritage, all in the company of a friendly Florentine guide who knows where the real magic lies.
Your evening begins in a lively piazza in the heart of the artsy Oltrarno neighbourhood. After getting acquainted with your guide, you’ll wander through the charming streets of the historic centre, pausing at hidden courtyards, centuries-old palazzi, and beloved eateries that many visitors overlook. Along the way, you’ll sample an array of dishes that showcase Florence’s devotion to simple, local ingredients, perhaps a comforting bowl of a classic Tuscan ribollita or pappa al pomodoro, followed by irresistible fresh pasta prepared before your eyes by a local chef.
Of course, no deep dive into Tuscan gastronomy would be complete without wine, so there will be ample opportunity to try the best blends that Florence has to offer. You’ll duck into an atmospheric cellar to taste a bold Super Tuscan, sip classics like Chianti, and even experience Florence’s quirky wine windows, a centuries-old tradition brought vividly to life with stories from your guide. To round out the evening, you’ll enjoy a perfectly mixed Negroni, the iconic cocktail born here in Florence, before finishing on a sweet note with an artisanal gelato. Along the way, your guide will teach you how to distinguish the real, authentic version of this frozen treat from the fluorescent impostors.
By the end of the tour, you will have not only tasted your way through Florence, but you’ll have delved into its cultural fabric, uncovering how food and drink are woven into daily life and the city’s rich history. It is an evening designed for the inquisitive traveller: immersive, convivial, and unforgettable.
