What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella

   1h

   Your first food stop will be at a "Forno", an Italian bakery where you will taste savory or sweet baked goods. Next, explore Sant’Ambrogio market, a local market frequently visited by Florentines for their everyday food shopping. You will get to sample seasonal vegetables and cheese or prosciutto. Martina will introduce you to her favored vendors that will show you the best of their wares and provide advice on the right way to cook food. Continue on your food tour with Martina and enter an old trattoria, famous for their traditional Tuscan soups. Martina knows the owner personally so you can expect a very charismatic Florentine man to share funny stories along with your soup and a glass of Chianti. You will also try tagliere, a platter of Tuscan favorites. You will end your tour with gelato! You will make 5 stops and try 5-6 different types of food on this Florence food tour. Your food tastings will be accompanied by up to 2 glasses of wine.

2. 2

   Basilica of Santa Croce

   1h

   The food market in Sant’Ambrogio is open everyday from Monday to Saturday from early morning until 2pm. It is closed in the evenings and on Sundays. For travelers that book this food tour in the afternoons or on Sundays, Martina will have you try the same food and drinks but at different locations (not at the market). You might even get to try coccolo, small balls of dough fried in olive oil and stuffed with prosciutto ham and a creamy fresh cheese called stracchino.
