Small Group: Wine Windows Guided Tour and Other Florence Secrets – Essential
As evening settles over Florence, guests step into the quieter charm of the Oltrarno on a guided walk filled with local stories, hidden corners, and timeless character. Away from the busiest streets, this atmospheric neighborhood reveals artisan traditions, historic facades, and small details that often go unnoticed. Along the route, travelers discover the history of the Buchette del Vino, the small wine windows once used by noble families to sell wine directly from their palaces. These unique openings remain one of Florence’s most memorable traditions and offer a vivid link to the city’s past. The experience also includes photo-worthy stops, engaging tales shaped by local legend, and a tasting of Tuscan wine served from a historic wine window. Relaxed, flavorful, and full of personality, this evening walk offers a memorable view of Florence beyond its grand landmarks.
