It was three days before Christmas and freezing outside, but the Taste Florence tour was such a great experience that it didn't matter! Antoinette is a fantastic guide and for anyone who loves food and wine, she'll give you a personal look into the background and behind the scenes information on the production and history of some of Tuscany's favorite... more

As a professional glutton (or gastronomist as some call us) I was delighted to stumble upon Antoinette's website and promptly booked a tour with her which my daughter and I took 2 weeks ago. It was definitely one of the highlights of our whole trip to Italy and one I would urge anyone with the slightest interest in or knowledge... more

This is a “must-do” while in Florence – even if you are only there for a few days. While walking around to the various wine bars, and central market, and chocolatier, and coffee shop, we saw A LOT of Florence! This tour gives you a better understanding of the Florentine staples of Chianti, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar-the wonderful Toni... more

We thought Taste Florence would be something different...it sure is! What a great time we had! Tasted all kinds... more

I took this tour at the beginning of Nov., 2008 and to my delight, was the only person that day! Toni (Antoinette) did a fabulous job custom tailoring it to my taste. I highly recommend it. The knowledge I gained was fabulous and the tastings were devine! Cheers! Linda in Portland, Maine more

First - It is the talk of the town...this fun, foodie tour has become a MUST Do in Florence. And, since the tour transitions with the seasons, wanted to compare the autumn bounty to... more

I am sooooo glad I ran across a review of Taste Florence the night before we left for Italy. Definitely my favorite experience in Florence. Such a great way to learn about the food and culture of the area, as well as delight in some fantastic food and wine. I suggest signing up on your first day because you'll want... more
