Wine Window Hunting - Buchette
Embark on a Florence Wine Window Hunt!
Join us for a one-of-a-kind adventure through Florence’s historic streets as we explore the unique tradition of buchette del vino or wine windows, led by Francesca, our expert in all things Tuscan wine. These charming, little-known windows date back centuries and were once used to discreetly serve wine, even during times of plagues and restrictions.
We’ll meet bright and early on Monday, November 18, at 9:00 a.m. at Pistoia train station to travel together to Florence (the round-trip train ticket is approximately €10 and not included in the event price). Francesca will guide us through the origins and stories of these hidden wine windows while introducing you to Florence’s evolving wine culture, with stops at several fascinating locations.
Throughout the tour, you’ll have the option to choose wines to sample from a selection of local favorites (wine is at your own expense) while Francesca enriches the experience with tales of Florence’s past and its winemaking heritage.
