Event details
An Afternoon Discovering Tuscan Wines
Instead of thinking of this as a wine appreciation class, imagine spending a couple of hours with friends in a comfortable Florentine wine shop, tasting a selection of regional wines while learning the stories behind the people who make them.
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 will begin at 3:00 PM and is expected to last about 1½–2 hours, leaving plenty of time before our Farewell Dinner that evening.
What You'll Experience
Participants can expect a relaxed tasting that may include:
- Guidance from Tuscan Taste's sommelier in exploring a variety of Tuscan wines
- Wines from small, independent producers, including unusual and lesser-known labels
- A €35 wine tasting credit included for each participant
- Sharing boards with Tuscan cheeses, cured meats, bread, bruschette, and other small Tuscan specialties

- Plenty of time for conversation with classmates
