Book our unique Florence Wine Windows Experience:
Florence has a way of revealing its stories in the most unexpected places, and the buchette del vino, or wine windows, are some of its most intriguing secrets. These tiny windows, once used by noble families to sell wine directly to locals, are scattered across Florence’s historic neighborhoods. On our Florence Wine Windows Tour, we’ll take you on a walk through the city’s rich history, connecting architecture, commerce, and wine culture in one unforgettable experience.
As we explore these charming neighborhoods, you’ll hear how these windows shaped daily life in Florence, their practical origins and also their cultural significance today. Along the way, we’ll stop at select wine windows still in use, where you can sample wines from Tuscany’s iconic regions like Chianti and Super Tuscans, paired with local delicacies.

- Discover Florence’s hidden wine windows and their history.
