Winner 2026 Florence Sunset Food & Wine Tour by Eating Europe
4.9 / 5 · 6,206 traveler reviews
As the sun drops over the Arno River, you'll cross into Oltrarno, the quieter half of Florence that locals never left. Your guide walks you into a centuries-old fiaschetteria for local wine paired with plates built on Tuscan cucina povera, out to a wine window still used exactly as it was in Florence's plague years, and into a deli where the self-appointed King of Cheese let's you try his best pecorino and parmigiano cheeses. There's a Negroni lesson at a historic wine shop, a slow-cooked stew to go with your Super Tuscan wine, and a gelato finish from the shop Florentines voted their own favorite. A small group, and six or seven carefully selected stops.
Your experience
Stop 1
Enjoy a Prosecco in one of Florence’s liveliest squares. Cheers to Italian dolce vita and to the start of your night out with new friends!
Stop 2
Visit a Wine Window and taste mouth-watering charcuterie boards paired with the most delicious wine, all served in a cellar dating back to the XII century!
Stop 3
Step into a family-run shop run by a man the neighborhood has crowned King of Cheese, tasting two styles of pecorino and a parmigiano while he makes his case for the title with total conviction.
Stop 4
Learn the story behind Florence's Wine Windows, small openings built for plague-era wine sales, reopened in recent years. Bruschetta with stracciatella and a glass of Tuscan wine come alongside the history.
Stop 5
At a trattoria run by a mother-son duo, you'll watch gnudi (naked pasta) tossed and plated tableside, paired with a glass of Chianti Classico, one of Tuscany's most tightly regulated wines, and one of its best.
Stop 6
This fiaschetteria has poured wine for Oltrarno's restaurants since the 1950s. Here you'll learn to make a proper Negroni before settling into wild boar stew with a glass of Super Tuscan wine, served through its own Wine Window.
Stop 7
Close the night with a short lesson in spotting real artisanal gelato, then taste two flavors from a shop Florentines themselves voted the city's best. The neon-colored stuff at tourist stands won't tempt you again.
