Description:

Discover what makes Tuscan food some of the best in the world—from market to table. Tour Florence’s most authentic market, meet the vendors, and taste their produce before visiting the best eateries for pasta, crostini, cheese, wine, and more. Just be sure to come hungry.

With your small group of a maximum of 12 people, visit the famous Sant'Ambrogio market. Rarely visited by tourists, this is where locals shop to find the best produce. Follow your guide through the market stalls, learn about the foods you see, and sample the best Tuscan meats, such as fennel salami, boar, and for the brave, lampredotto, a local favorite made of tripe.

Appetite whetted, drop by a local enoteca (winery) that is popular among market stallholders. Follow their lead with crostini, olive oils, and other nibbles. Pair these delicacies with some local wine, also known as vino sfuso, which means you can pour your wine from the huge casks lined up along the wall.

Now it's time for the main course. Visit a traditional Tuscan trattoria, and treat yourself with a selection of main courses, including pastas, soups, and whatever else is in season—plus more wine of course. Your last stop is sweet, with a behind-the-scenes visit to a gelateria.
