Aperitivo Tour of Florence:
Wine, Craft Negroni Cocktails & Bites
Savor Italy's tradition of Aperitivo with finger food and a range of drinks (bubbly, wine and craft Negroni cocktails) at some of the most exclusive lounges and locales in Florence. Recommended by Conde’ Nast Traveler and Lonely Planet.
We'll imbibe in a variety of drinks traditionally consumed during Aperitivo time on this unique tour including prosecco, Italian wine from boutique producers and craft cocktails.
Aperitivo is considered the "Italian happy hour" but you'll learn on our tour that it means much more!
Experience Italian craft cocktail culture and dwell at bars where cutting-edge mixologists toil ardently crafting their own elixirs putting most mixed drinks to rest. This unique food and drink tour visits both soulful, historic and fashionable up-and-coming locales, with drinks and appetizer snacks all paired.
We set ourselves apart with Italian sparkling wines (Franciacorta), truffle slathered panini, sommelier-led wine tasting, arguably the best Negroni in Florence, artisan Tuscan cold cuts and tasty Italian cheeses. On this unique food tour in Florence, we explore the colorful backstreets which are a feast also for the eyes. Taste the culture of Italian "Aperitivo" on this leisurely, food and drink tour with style.
