Description

Explore a lesser-known aspect of Florence by visiting its iconic Buchette del Vino, small Wine Windows carved into Renaissance palaces. These windows date back to the 16th century and originally allowed noble families to sell wine directly from their homes.

On this guided walk, you will see both active Wine Windows, where wine is still served, and historic ones that serve as reminders of the past. Walking through elegant streets and quieter neighborhoods, you will taste carefully selected local wines and learn about Florence’s wine traditions.
