Winner 2026 Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour by Eating Europe
Overview
As the sun drops over the Arno River, you'll cross into Oltrarno, the quieter half of Florence that locals never left.
Your guide walks you into a centuries-old fiaschetteria for local wine paired with plates built on Tuscan cucina povera, out to a wine window still used exactly as it was in Florence's plague years, and into a deli where the self-appointed King of Cheese let's you try his best pecorino and parmigiano cheeses.
There's a Negroni lesson at a historic wine shop, a slow-cooked stew to go with your Super Tuscan wine, and a gelato finish from the shop Florentines voted their own favorite. A small group, and six or seven carefully selected stops.
What you’ll do
Enjoy a Prosecco in one of Florence’s liveliest squares. Cheers to Italian dolce vita and to the start of your night out with new friends!
Visit a Wine Window and taste mouth-watering charcuterie boards paired with the most delicious wine, all served in a cellar dating back to the XII century!
Step into a family-run shop run by a man the neighborhood has crowned King of Cheese, tasting two styles of pecorino and a parmigiano while he makes his case for the title with total conviction.
Learn the story behind Florence's Wine Windows, small openings built for plague-era wine sales, reopened in recent years. Bruschetta with stracciatella and a glass of Tuscan wine come alongside the history.
At a trattoria run by a mother-son duo, you'll watch gnudi (naked pasta) tossed and plated tableside, paired with a glass of Chianti Classico, one of Tuscany's most tightly regulated wines, and one of its best.
This fiaschetteria has poured wine for Oltrarno's restaurants since the 1950s. Here you'll learn to make a proper Negroni before settling into wild boar stew with a glass of Super Tuscan wine, served through its own Wine Window.
Close the night with a short lesson in spotting real artisanal gelato, then taste two flavors from a shop Florentines themselves voted the city's best. The neon-colored stuff at tourist stands won't tempt you again.
