What you'll do

You'll meet your sommelier at a well-loved wine bar in central Florence and settle in for a private, late afternoon tasting experience. After a brief introduction and sharing your preferences, your sommelier will tailor your selection accordingly, whether you favor reds, whites, or a combination of both.

You'll get to sample eight regional wines over the course of the session, learning how to identify aromas, flavors, and textures while gaining insight into Tuscany's winemaking traditions. And as your sommelier engages you with stories about the vineyards, grape varieties, and production methods behind each pour, you'll build a deeper appreciation for the region's celebrated wine culture.

To complement the tasting, you'll be presented with small plates of local cheeses, cured meats, and traditional snacks to help enhance the wines' flavors. The vibe is relaxed and social, echoing the spirit of a classic Italian aperitivo. Then, when the last drop is sipped, you're free to browse the shop for your favorite bottles before stepping outside to enjoy an evening stroll through Florence, where illuminated streets and famed landmarks punctuate a memorable end to your tasting experience.
