About this tour
Stop tasting and start making. This two-hour Florence workshop puts you in charge of six single-varietal wines, teaching you to blend a personal signature bottle guided by a sommelier. You'll sample each wine's character, mix your own creation balancing body and aroma, then bottle it with a custom label to take home. Tuscan charcuterie and cheese pair each tasting, and you'll finish with a winemaker's certificate.

What to expect
You'll start by sampling each of the six wines individually, learning what makes each varietal distinct—its weight on the palate, dominant scents, and finish. The sommelier walks you through tasting technique without the pretence. Then you move to your blending station, where you experiment mixing different wines in small measures until you've built something you'd actually want to drink. It's trial and error in the best way; there's no single right answer. Once you've settled on your blend, you'll bottle it, apply your personalised label, and seal it properly. Throughout, local cured meats and cheese keep hunger at bay.
Good to know
The workshop runs two hours, so arrive with a clear palate and empty stomach if you're sensitive to alcohol on an empty belly. Public transport nearby makes parking unnecessary. Pushchairs are welcome if you're bringing young ones.
