Florence Wine Tasting

Florence Wine Tasting

Florence Wine Tasting experiences offer visitors a unique and intimate way to discover the great wines of Tuscany. Whether you are a seasoned wine lover or simply curious about Italian wine culture, a Florence wine tasting session with a private guide is one of the most memorable ways to spend an afternoon in the city.

What to Expect on a Florence Wine Tasting Tour

Our Florence wine tasting tours are designed to be relaxed, informative, and genuinely enjoyable. Led by expert local guides and sommeliers, each session covers the most celebrated wines of the region — from Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino to Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vin Santo. A Florence wine tasting is not just about drinking wine — it’s about understanding the landscape, the grape varieties, and the centuries of tradition behind every bottle.

What Wines to Discover

Tuscany produces some of Italy’s finest wines and a Florence wine tasting is the perfect introduction. Sangiovese-based reds like Chianti and Brunello dominate the region, while white wines from San Gimignano and sweet dessert wines round out a truly varied experience. Our guides pair each wine with local cheeses, cured meats, and bread to give you the full Tuscan table experience.

Private and Small Group Options

Every Florence wine tasting we offer can be arranged as a fully private experience or in a small intimate group. Private sessions can be tailored to your preferences — focusing on a specific wine region, grape variety, or style. All tours depart from central Florence and can be combined with a Chianti countryside tour for a full day in Tuscany.

Book your Florence wine tasting today and let our expert guides introduce you to the finest wines Tuscany has to offer.

TUSCAN & ITALIAN WINE TASTING

DETAILS
2 glasses of red wine | 2 glasses of white wine | 1 glass of dessert wine

Red Wines

• Chianti Classico (Tuscany) — the iconic Sangiovese-based wine from the hills between Florence and Siena, recognizable by the black rooster label.
• Brunello di Montalcino (Tuscany) — one of Italy’s greatest reds, aged and powerful, from the hilltop town of Montalcino south of Siena.
• Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Tuscany) — elegant and complex Sangiovese from the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, often called the “noble wine”.
• Morellino di Scansano (Tuscany) — a softer, more approachable Sangiovese from the Maremma coastland, fruity with a Mediterranean character.
• Barolo (Piedmont) — the “King of Italian wines”, bold and tannic Nebbiolo from the Langhe hills, one of the most prestigious bottles in the world.

White Wines

• Vernaccia di San Gimignano (Tuscany) — one of Italy’s oldest white wines, crisp and mineral, from the medieval towers town near Siena.
• Vermentino di Toscana (Tuscany) — aromatic and fresh, increasingly popular along the Tuscan coast and Maremma area.
• Bianco di Pitigliano (Tuscany) — a rare Trebbiano-based blend from the tufa stone town of Pitigliano in southern Tuscany.
• Pinot Grigio delle Venezie (Veneto) — Italy’s most internationally recognized white, light and easy-drinking.
• Greco di Tufo (Campania) — full-bodied and mineral, from the volcanic soils of Irpinia near Naples.

Dessert Wines

• Vin Santo del Chianti (Tuscany) — the most beloved Tuscan dessert wine, made from dried Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes aged in small barrels called caratelli, traditionally served with almond cantucci biscuits.
• Moscadello di Montalcino (Tuscany) — a rare and delicate sweet Moscato from the same hills as Brunello, light and floral with hints of peach and apricot.
• Passito di Pantelleria (Sicily) — Italy’s most celebrated dessert wine, made from sun-dried Zibibbo grapes on the volcanic island of Pantelleria, rich and intensely aromatic with notes of dried apricot, honey and orange blossom.
