Stopping to sample the San Lorenzo Market, Florence’s oldest, our guides help you select and taste as wide as possible a variety of local dishes including local Tuscan savory masterpieces.
Visiting authentic wine shops, local sommeliers will explain the secret behind local wine colors, perfumes, and the local art of basic viticulture and winemaking itself.
