Private Wine Tasting in Florence, Tuscany

The Renaissance capital and its surrounding hills

Florence is the cradle of the Italian Renaissance — a UNESCO World Heritage city where Brunelleschi's dome dominates a skyline that has barely changed in 500 years. Beyond the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio, the surrounding hills of Fiesole, Bagno a Ripoli, and the Chianti foothills offer the rarest combination in Italy: world-class culture within a 20-minute drive, with absolute Tuscan countryside silence at night.

Wine tasting in Florence is not a tourist activity — it is the quickest way to understand the place itself. The producers we work with are small family estates that bottle a few thousand cases a year, where the family member who pours your glass is often the same person who pruned the vines in February and pressed the grapes in October. Our concierge arranges private appointments unavailable on commercial booking platforms.

Expect to taste 5–8 wines side by side, with vertical comparisons across vintages where the cellar permits, accompanied by local salumi, pecorino and the estate's own extra-virgin olive oil. Tastings can be paired with a leisurely lunch in the vineyard, a barrel-room dinner, or extended into a full-day estate tour. Private transport with a local driver is always included so the tasting is the only thing on your mind.
