Florence Wine Window Private Tour

Florence, Italy

Overview

Florence’s historic streets are filled with "buchette del vino," or wine windows, but most travelers walk right past them without a second glance. This private walking tour through central Florence sheds light on the city's centuries-old wine culture and how these windows were used to sell wine directly to the public in the 17th century without having to make contact.
