Overview

Here in Italy, dinner is a social event to be shared in good company, and that's exactly what's in store on this Oltrarno food tour. From *aperitivo* through dinner and dessert, you'll spend the evening in true Florentine fashion as you pop into our favorite neighborhood spots to try specialties from all over Tuscany—all washed down with plenty of regional wine. Along the way, your friendly foodie guide will demystify Florence’s food scene for you, from the importance of seasonality to why there’s really no such thing as “Italian” food.

What's Included

  • Enjoy 8+ food tastings and 6 drinks across 5 family-run small businesses in Oltrarno. Enough food for a full meal.
  • Taste an authentic aperitivo complete with cheese, cold cuts, and bruschette—and learn what makes Tuscan bread so special.
  • Swing by one of Florence’s iconic wine windows to grab a glass of Prosecco.
  • Savor the crown jewel of Tuscan cuisine: the iconic Florentine steak.
  • Discover the unwritten rules of eating Florentine style, from aperitivo to dessert.
  • Eat your way around Oltrarno, one of Florence’s liveliest and most authentic neighborhoods, with a knowledgeable local foodie as your guide.

Florence Food & Wine Tour Itinerary

Begin your Oltrarno food tour by getting acquainted with the building blocks of Tuscan cuisine with a typical aperitif. There’s no better place to do so than at a laid-back enoteca (wine bar) nestled into the quiet back streets of the neighborhood, where you’ll open your appetite with pecorino toscano cheese, a selection of bruschette, and focaccia, all paired with Chianti Classico. As you snack and sip, your guide will give you a primer on Tuscan wine and how to order and drink it like a pro.

The overall tour was amazing! The amount and quality of the food and wine was outstanding and we loved the venues we visited. We had reserved seating, got to meet the owners and the guide was very organized and personable. Would do another tour with Devour, especially a food tour!
