Description
A wine tasting in Livorno is easiest to picture around a table in a wine bar, with a sommelier pouring and explaining while the plates arrive. Over about an hour you taste four carefully chosen wines, and each one comes with something to eat that suits it.
The food is simple and Tuscan: an assortment of cured meats, a few cheeses, and bread or grissini, the thin breadsticks. Between glasses the host, a friendly and knowledgeable sommelier, talks about the local wines and traditions of Tuscany, in a warm and welcoming setting.
- Four wines, tasted one after the other
- Cured meats and cheeses to pair with them
- Traditional Tuscan bread or breadsticks

Vegetarians should say so in advance, as should anyone with allergies or intolerances. Vegan diets cannot be catered for. Guests who are under age get a non-alcoholic drink in place of the wines. The host speaks English and Italian, and no transport to the venue is needed.
