Itinerary
Your experience begins in central Florence, where you'll meet your private guide: a passionate local chef with deep knowledge of Tuscan cuisine. As you walk through the streets together, you’ll get insider tips, cultural anecdotes, and a behind-the-scenes look at daily life in Florence.
Duration: 15 minutes
Begin your food adventure with a perfectly pulled Italian espresso at a beloved local café. Your chef will introduce you to Florence’s coffee culture, explaining how Italians take their coffee and the differences between blends and brewing methods. It’s the ideal way to kick off the day: full of flavor, warmth, and local tradition.

Step into Florence’s oldest and most authentic food market, a vibrant hub where locals shop daily. Far from the tourist crowds, Sant’Ambrogio offers an incredible variety of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, bread, and traditional Tuscan specialties. Your chef will guide you through the market, introducing you to local vendors and explaining the origins and use of typical ingredients. While at the market, you’ll enjoy several tastings of seasonal and regional products: think aged pecorino, sun-dried tomatoes, or artisanal cured meats. These flavors tell the story of Tuscany’s rich culinary heritage, and your chef will explain how these ingredients are used in traditional recipes.
Duration: 60 minutes
After the market, head to a charming enoteca (wine shop), where you’ll sample two quality Tuscan wines. Whether it’s a bold Chianti or a fruity Vernaccia, each glass is carefully selected and served with bruschetta topped with local delicacies. Learn about the regional wine-making process, grape varieties, and how to properly taste wine "Italian" style.
Duration: 45 minutes

To end your tour on a sweet note, head to a renowned gelateria known for its commitment to natural, seasonal ingredients.
