Highlights
Florence, as the cradle of the Renaissance, is known all over the world for its gastronomic excellence! How to combine culture and good food? With this original city tour, designed around historic shops and the food market of San Lorenzo that includes a sort of treasure hunt to look for the so-called "wine holes". In the past, these small openings were used for the sale and serving of wine. Thanks to several stages you will have the opportunity to get to know some ancient Florentine families who had foreseen the opening on the facades of their palaces. Art and culture will alternate with special tastings: a glass of Chianti red wine with the typical Italian bruschetta, a thick slice of bread topped with a few drops of 100% Tuscan extra virgin olive oil, local cold cuts and cheeses, a "Pappa al Pomodoro" takeaway or a Ribollita soup and some typical cantuccini biscuits to dip into the sweet wine of Vin Santo!

They served for the direct sale, from the producer to the consumer, of the wine, of which in the Florence of the Renaissance and of the following centuries there was a great consumption. The citizens "knocked" at the little holes obtained at the entrances of the palaces of landowners who made available the products of their estates, they delivered with the necessary money the traditional empty fiasco and they got it back filled full by the cellars. A daily practice, with all the qualities that today are said of the "zero kilometer": genuine wine, coming only from the vineyards and certain estates, without mediations and taxes.Piazza del Duomo
