First class - We stopped to use the wine window and were convinced by Stefano to try the Classic wine tasting. We were so happy we did as it was a great 2 hours smelling, tasting and guessing the flavours of the wines. We’ve done a lot of wine tasting and this was by far the most fun, with the interactive booklet and insights from Stefano. Would 100% recommend as a fun little activity in Florence!

Best wine in Florence - Amazing location next to Ponte Vecchio bridge. The wine is one of the best attractions in Florence, not to mention the staff - the most charming hosts. Had at least one drink here every day of our holiday!!

Fun Informative lesson - This is a really informative and eye-opening lesson. Not just an excuse to have a drink. My daughter has been ‘tasting’ every glass of wine she’s had since.

Loved First Glass! - Jamie and her business partner were fantastic during our wine tasting. They had a lot of knowledge and even taught us the Italian way to hold a wine glass! She was bubbly and kind and we had a wonderful experience.
