Full description

Discover Florence's hidden gems with an evening Oltrarno walking tour focused on one of the city’s latest trends—tasting wine from the historic wine windows (buchette del vino). Starting from Piazza della Repubblica, stroll through secret corners and Instagram photo spots Florence like the Loggia del Porcellino and Piazza del Limbo. Follow the Vasari Corridor’s path, hear Medici legends, and cross Ponte Vecchio into the heart of the Oltrarno, Florence’s most authentic district. Here, you’ll uncover recently restored wine windows, once used by noble families to sell wine directly to locals. Sip a glass of Tuscan wine served just as it was centuries ago—through a buchetta—while soaking in the neighborhood’s unique charm. A blend of history, taste, and tradition awaits on this unforgettable tour.

We had a great time. Our Chef was very friendly and informative. The food turned out delicious and now I know how to make Lasagna and Tiramisu like a real Italiana.

Great experience. authentoc, educational and fun at the same time. Both chefs were warm, friendly and with great sense of humour. Was my husband's birthday and they even made the effort to put a candle on the gelato! Thank you! Highly recommend this class.

This was so much fun! Salvo and Marcelo were fantastic, the quality of the ingredients made for some tasty lunch and I learned some new techniques for doing this at home. Even my four year old daughter who’s a picky eater had a blast and even enjoyed some pizza she made herself. Would definitely go back and either do it again or take one of their other classes.
