Description
Experience Florence through its flavors on this walking tour combining gentle strolls with progressive tastings of Tuscan food and wine at authentic local venues.
Meet your guide in the city center and explore side streets, small squares, and neighborhoods where locals shop and dine. Instead of rushing between landmarks, the tour focuses on traditional bakeries, family-run delis, and cozy wine bars.
Begin at a typical bakery sampling warm focaccia or crunchy schiacciata with extra virgin olive oil. Then visit a historic grocery or delicatessen featuring cheeses, cured meats, and regional specialties. Your guide explains how simple ingredients like bread, beans, olive oil, and seasonal vegetables form the foundation of Tuscan cuisine.
The highlight is a wine stop at an atmospheric enoteca, tasting Tuscan reds and whites paired with pecorino, salumi, and crostini. This stop feels like a leisurely aperitivo with a local friend rather than a quick snack.
As you walk between tastings, you will pass elegant piazzas, narrow alleys with artisan workshops, and overlooked corners. Your guide shares stories about Florence’s daily life, recipe evolution, and the best spots to eat and drink after the tour.
By the end, you will understand how Florentines eat, drink, and socialize and receive insider tips for continuing your food exploration in the city.
