Florence sunset food and wine guided tour

The Arno divides Florence into two cities. North is the postcards: the Duomo, the Uffizi, the crowds. South is Oltrarno, where the wine shops have been pouring since the 1950s and the cellars go back to the 12th century. This is the Florence that feeds itself.This small group walking food tour runs through Oltrarno's backstreets with a guide who knows them well. You'll drink prosecco in Piazza Santo Spirito, descend underground for cured meats and Amarone, learn the story behind wine windows from one still in daily use, watch gnudi get tossed and plated in a trattoria where nothing has changed in decades, drink a Negroni at a fiaschetteria the council has officially declared historic, and finish with two scoops of the gelato the Florentines voted their own city's best.Cucina povera means peasant cooking. In Oltrarno, it means Tuscan soup, wild boar stew, and a Super Tuscan to wash it down. Nothing wasted. Nothing missed.Book your spot and cross the river, taste your way through the real Florence.
