§ The Experience

Priority access. Roman roots. Real Tuscan flavour.

This is not the queue-and-wait Florence. From the first sip at a 17th-century Buchetta del Vino to the final bite of hot Pizza Fritta, every stop is booked with priority — so you taste while other visitors wait outside.

Between tastings your guide walks you through the ancient Roman grid where Florence was founded as Florentia, past Palazzo Vecchio, the open-air sculpture gallery of Piazza della Signoria and the iconic David — the same streets that carried the Renaissance forward.

Kept intentionally small (max 10 guests) so the stories are personal, the tastings are generous, and the pace stays elegant.
