Food & Wine Tours in Tuscany, Italy
Vinarium, Tuscany:
Vinarium based in Florence, Italy, is a tour operator specializing in wine and food programs for tourists. Vinarium offers wine tours in Tuscany, guided wine tasting in the best Florentine enotecas (local wine shops), cooking lessons and classes in historical buildings, and guided visits to the best Tuscan wine makers.
About Us:
The Vinarium office is the brain of our association. We put all our attention in helping you to discover some of the most interesting spots of a hidden Tuscany. The criteria on which all of our activities are based, come from the positive reaction and appreciation shown by those who, perhaps tired of the usual “beaten tracks” as itineraries, were able to try something different, unpretentious, and yet of a high quality that gave them the opportunity of experiencing and actually “tasting” a piece of our culture.
