Florence Afternoon Food & Wine Tasting with Walking Tour

About this tour

Taste your way through Florence's food scene on this three-hour afternoon walk with a knowledgeable local guide. You'll hit neighbourhood spots selling cured meats, cheeses, and wines, learning how Tuscan producers work and what makes their ingredients distinctive. The route shifts seasonally based on what's fresh and what vendors have on hand, so no two tours are identical.

Highlights

• Sample aged Parmigiano and house-cured prosciutto from local suppliers
• Taste Chianti and other Tuscan wines paired with seasonal produce
• Navigate Florence's food markets like a resident, not a tourist
• Chat with vendors about their craft and sourcing methods
• Seasonal menu keeps the experience fresh across visits

What to expect

Expect to walk at a relaxed pace through working neighbourhoods where Florentines actually shop. Your guide will lead you into family-run delis, wine bars, and market stalls—places you'd struggle to find alone. You'll taste as you go rather than sitting down for a formal meal. Portions are modest but frequent, designed to showcase quality over quantity. The guide explains what you're tasting and why it matters regionally, without the flowery restaurant speak.
