A Foodie Guide to Florence Tuscan Cuisine and Wine Pairings
Overview
No city does food quite like Florence, and on our Food Tour, you’ll experience the Tuscan capital through your taste buds. Led by an expert guide, you and a group of fellow foodies will explore the artisan district of Oltrarno, tasting the best of Tuscan cuisine and learning to eat like a true Florentine.
We’ll start with crispy schiacciata bread and a glass of Chianti wine (non-alcoholic options available) before diving into the local food scene at a traditional trattoria. Your guide will share the history of Florence’s cuisine and a style of cooking that uses local, seasonal ingredients to create hearty dishes like pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale. You’ll learn about the long-standing traditions of Tuscan cooking and meet the locals who keep these traditions alive. Savor Florentine cheeses and meats, sip local wine, and finish with creamy gelato.
Ideal for families, couples, and food lovers of all kinds. Come curious, come hungry, and discover Florence through its cuisine.
