A few centuries ago, somewhere on the ground floor of noble Florentine homes, groups of people or individuals would stop in front of a small door and knock vigorously on it: the door would open, and the person would place a flask of wine and a coin inside. The transparent flask was taken, only to be returned filled with a deep red liquid. It’s wine! This tour is dedicated to a very special Florentine tradition that combines ingenuity, business acumen, and good taste: come discover the wine windows in Florence!
