Florence evening tour of wine windows and local legends

This is not your typical tour. With a dedicated local guide at your side, you’ll explore Florence’s historic center, wandering through cobbled streets, elegant squares, and atmospheric corners that reveal the city’s most authentic side. Far from the crowds, this private experience is designed for those who seek more than monuments — it unveils hidden stories, noble traditions, and architectural details that bring Florence’s soul to life through storytelling, local curiosities, and authentic flavors.

At the heart of the experience is the discovery of Florence’s unique “buchette del vino”, or wine windows — small arched openings set into the façades of Renaissance palaces. Originally created by noble families to sell wine directly to locals, these historic features reflect centuries of Florentine daily life and ingenuity. Your guide will share their fascinating history, how they were used in the past, and how they are part of a living tradition that has beautifully returned to modern Florence.

As you continue through the historic center, the city reveals itself in a more intimate and timeless way, especially as evening sets in. The atmosphere becomes softer and more evocative, offering the perfect backdrop to appreciate Florence’s beauty, culture, and hidden details.

Here, your experience culminates in a truly memorable moment — enjoying a glass of fine Tuscan wine served from a traditional wine window, just as it was done centuries ago, creating a direct and emotional connection with Florence’s past.

A Premium option is available, including two exclusive stops at two different wine windows, where you will enjoy two separate tastings served directly from the original buchette del vino, recreating an authentic centuries-old Florentine tradition.
