Description
Discover Florence's hidden gems with an evening Oltrarno walking tour focused on one of the city’s latest trends—tasting wine from the historic wine windows (buchette del vino). Starting from Piazza della Repubblica, stroll through secret corners and Instagram photo spots Florence like the Loggia del Porcellino and Piazza del Limbo. Follow the Vasari Corridor’s path, hear Medici legends, and cross Ponte Vecchio into the heart of the Oltrarno, Florence’s most authentic district. Here, you’ll uncover recently restored wine windows, once used by noble families to sell wine directly to locals. Sip a glass of Tuscan wine served just as it was centuries ago—through a buchetta—while soaking in the neighborhood’s unique charm. A blend of history, taste, and tradition awaits on this unforgettable tour.
