More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a sun-warmed room a short walk from Florence’s medieval streets, where the air smells of oak, ripe grapes and a faint dust of earth from the surrounding hills. Tables are set with numbered glasses; behind them, a wine expert lays out six distinct single-varietal wines — each one a small portrait of Tuscan soil and climate. The session is part tasting, part chemistry lab and part craft workshop: you’ll learn how acidity, tannin and aroma interplay, then mix and match until a personal blend feels balanced.
