Excellent Tastings

, Jun 2019
While in Florence for three days we decided to spend our first evening tasting the sites. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The sites we visited provided super tasty specialties of the area to include wines, balsalmic vinegar and olive oils. Other selections included meats, cheeses, tiramisu, gelatto and more. I thought the portions were a bit small.The sites visited are worth remembering and revisiting...they are that good! Our group had a deliciously appetizing evening!
