An exciting new event will combine excellent wine and great food with the chance to visit some of the city’s top artistic venues. It’s the perfect way to tempt the taste buds and nourish the heart.
On September 24 and 25, the 2011 edition of WINE TOWN will be taking the Florence city center by storm. Tourists and locals won’t want to miss cooking demonstrations and wine sampling events aimed at promoting and upholding the territory’s most famed products. The event will take place in various areas, from Palazzo Pitti’s Cortile Ammannati and the Oltrarno District to Florence’s Central Market in San Lorenzo, built by Giuseppe Mengoni in the years in which Florence was capital of Italy. It is still one of the city’s top spots for buying ultra-fresh seasonal produce.
Wine Town showcases evocative places to sample wine; it’s an extravaganza that includes the unforgettable chance to combine wine sampling and artistic enjoyment. From Santo Spirito Church, (created in the mid-16th century by Bartolomeo Ammanati) to the Loggia del Grano commissioned in 1691 by Cosimo de’ Medici and Palazzo Davanzati, one of the most prestigious ancient residences of Florence—there are tons of incredible spots just waiting to be discovered. Step by step, palace by palace, guests will be intrigued by the men and women who were key to Florence’s history. From old-time banker Piero di Ghino Giucciadini to Filippo Corsini, who served six times as Confaloniere of justice—why not get to know that city’s top historical figures? A good story and a tasty glass of Tuscan red or white, makes for a sure-fire success.
