There's a particular kind of confidence that comes from knowing what to actually do with a bottle of wine — not just enjoying it, but understanding it. That's what this class is for. Over 75 relaxed minutes at La Chicca, we walk you through how to open, serve, and taste wine the way it's really done, no pretension involved, just skills you'll keep long after you've left Florence.
You'll work through six standout Italian wines — Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Amarone, and Barolo among them — each paired with local cheeses, olive oils, and crostini, so you're tasting the way Tuscans actually eat and drink together.
It's a lovely way to spend part of a Tuscan vacation, whether as a couple, with the whole family, gathering the team for something different, or just looking for the right thing to do on a rainy Florence afternoon — one of those things to do in Florence that actually teaches you something.
