Discover the Flavor of Florence: Enogastronomic Walking Tour in Santa Croce

Join Florence with Elvis on a unique journey through the historic Santa Croce district of Florence with our “Flavors of Florence” walking tour. This gastronomic adventure is designed for food lovers and history enthusiasts alike, offering an authentic taste of Tuscany’s culinary delights and rich cultural heritage.

Explore Historic Santa Croce

Our guided tour begins at the iconic Franciscan Basilica of Santa Croce, home to art and architecture that tells the tales of centuries. As you wander through the bustling piazza, learn about the fierce Calcio Storico Fiorentino, a traditional football game dating back to the 16th century. Discover the residences of Galileo’s family and delve into the Roman origins of Piazza Peruzzi, featuring remnants of an ancient amphitheater. Marvel at the medieval Cerchi Tower and the intriguing “Porta del Morto.”

Taste Tuscany’s Finest

Experience the charm of Florence’s “wine windows” – a unique historical feature where vintners once served their finest wines directly through openings in their cellars. Enjoy a curated selection of tastings including artisanal cheeses, freshly sliced charcuterie, and specialties from local producers. Savor the flavors of hand-crafted pasta in a cooking session with a professional chef, and indulge in authentic Florentine gelato from the renowned Vivoli gelateria, steering clear of the tourist traps.

Wine and Cocktails Experience

Immerse yourself in the world of Tuscan wines with a visit to a centuries-old secret cellar. Learn about the nuances between the robust Chianti Classico and the innovative Super Tuscan wines. Elevate your evening in a well-known local bar where you will master the art of making a perfect Negroni, Florence’s most celebrated cocktail.
