An Afternoon Discovering Tuscan Wines

Share an afternoon with classmates exploring the wines, traditions, and flavors of Tuscany in a relaxed neighborhood tasting room.

Tuscan Taste Florence specializes in wines from small independent producers, many of whom practice organic, biodynamic, or natural winemaking. Each tasting is tailored to the interests of the group, making the experience welcoming whether you're an experienced wine enthusiast or simply curious to discover more about Tuscany's remarkable wine culture.

The tasting is expected to conclude comfortably before our Farewell Dinner, making it an enjoyable way to spend part of the afternoon together.
