As luck would have it, there is going to be a wine faire on Friday and Saturday while we are in Florence called Winetown. A BIG shout out to Karen, author of An American in Italy, who is so awesome that she actually sent me an email to let me know that this was happening while we would be there. I can feel the warmth of the Italian spirit already.
Winetown takes place in various piazzas throughout the city in the areas of Tornabuoni, Oltrarno, and Proconsolo. There will also be an abundance of musical performances throughout the city which is really exciting. You buy a glass for 15 Euro and it comes with a wine card good for 5 tastings (and of course you can always buy more points for the card for more tastings). Here is a list of the various locations:
Zone A - "Beyond the Tuscany" - Palazzo Guicciardini, Pitti Palace, Palazzo Corsini, Suarez, Chiostro Grande dell'Ammannati
Zone B - "The classics of Tuscany" - Davanzati Palace, Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni, Chiostro del Magistero, Palazzo Antinori
Zone C - "La terra che amiamo - I Biodinamici" - Loggia del Grano, Sala d'Arme di Plazzo Vecchio, Museo del Bargello, Palazzo Pazzi Quaratesi, Palazzo Nonfinito, Chiostro delle Oblate, Giardino ex Museo "Firenze Com'era"
This is such a bonus for us. What a wonderful way to start our visit in Florence.
