Overview

Fine-tune your appreciation of Tuscan wines and cuisine on this convivial 1-hour wine and cheese tasting in Florence. Head to a traditional, family-run 'enoteca' (wine bar) and enjoy the authentic setting as your expert, distinguished sommelier introduces you to four delicious Tuscan wines and platters of Tuscan produce. Taste three classic wines as you hear about their production, flavors and textures, and savor tantalizing cheeses, olive oils and other delicacies as your sommelier explains each flavor combination.

The group size is limited to 12 participants for a personalized experience.

Enoteca Alessi has four different souls: while just one is more than enough to enjoy the venue, a “mix” of Alessi’s soul can be the way for a great experience for you, your family and friends. The hipster foodie and the kids, the cocktail aficionado or the wine expert, the food explorer or the spirits guru are all welcome at Alessi, because there is a lot at Alessi for all of them. A trip to Enoteca Alessi is a way to enjoy high quality food and drink from all over the world in a cosy environment, in a beautiful city. Though menus vary with the season, expect to try fresh fruit, local cheeses, cold cuts, high-quality olive oils and pourings of the Super Tuscan Noir and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG red. As you sip and sample, feel free to ask your sommelier questions or simply relax and take in the scene around you.

Sample Menu

• Samples of Tuscan olive oil, including Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varieties
• 1 glass of Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG red - Accompanied by pecorino cheese and Tuscan ham

I would highly recommend this tour for those who live Tuscan red wines! Our sommelier was knowledgeable and very pleasant. He chose the perfect nibbles and small bites for the wines! Plan to do this tour again, with my husband!

We enjoyed a wine tasting in the lower level of this beautiful and well stocked wine bar. Staff was very friendly and informative

Matteo was fabulous! A knowledgeable and welcoming sommelier who shared his passion for wine. A delicious charcuterie board accompanied our wines and Matteo added a bonus olive oil tasting. Enoteca is an incredible wine bar and shop. I have never seen anything like it!

Enoteca Alessi is a fantastic place to shop for wine, liquors, and gourmet snacks like “BaBa Al Ruhm “ but don’t waste your time or money on the Wine, Cheese, and olive oil tastings promoted on La Vacanza Travel and operated by Fat Tire Tours. We had a very disappointing experience for the €40 per person we paid for this. We tasted 3 wines, 2 cheeses (actually just pecorino cheese, one young and one aged), some prosciutto and some salami on a board and a little olive oil on some dried bread. Quantity aside, the “expert sommelier” just tried to just give us the wine and cheese and get rid of us. He gave us the wine, recited a script, and then took off, Same with the cheese board and olive oil. The other table that was guided by someone from Fat Tire Tours had a much better presentation than we had from the Enoteca Alessi employee who was supposed to be an expert sommelier.

We got 3 very small glasses of wine instead of 4 and we didn’t sample any olive oils. Also, the tour stated that we would try different kinds of cheeses and it was only two cheese options. After 5 minutes the guide was done and he left, we finished the 3 sips of wine in 20 minutes and that was it. Very disappointing for the €80,- we paid for this
