Discover the coolest wine window in Florence

How it works

1. RING THE BELL

In the heart of Florence, Italy, you’ll find a unique attraction: the historic Buchette del Vino. These hidden wine windows, embedded in buildings, were originally designed to discreetly serve take-away wine during the Renaissance. To experience this authentic Florentine tradition, simply ring the bell—the classic way to signal your intention to order wine.

2. ORDER WINE

After ringing the bell, one of our wine experts will greet you at the historic Wine Window, ready to offer you a carefully selected red, rosé, or white wine tailored to the season. Your wine will be served in our new FirstGlass bottles, allowing you to savor it comfortably as you explore the streets of Florence, admire the Ponte Vecchio, or enjoy a sunset along the Arno River.

3. TAKE A PICTURE

Finally, capture the moment by taking a photo in front of the historic Wine Window, proudly holding your chosen bottle. The backdrop of Florence’s iconic architecture creates the perfect setting for a stunning Instagram post. Don’t forget to tag us at @WINEWINDOWFIRENZE and use the hashtag #WineWindowFlorence to share your experience!

Firstglass is one of my favorire places to have a glass of wine in Florence. Stefano has always been so welcoming and knowledgable about each wine on their list. He truly makes the wine tasting an experience. I have visited Firstglass many times because of the positive experiences I have had here. Couldn’t recommend stopping here for a glass for for the tasting menu enough!

Chanced upon Firstglass by randomly walking. These beautiful ladies were offering wine tasting sessions which why not instead of drinking random wines at a random bar. Although I've done my basic WSELT, I was surprised that my husband partook and was pretty darn good! Johana was absolutely Knowledgeable and shared so much more and beyond with us!

The wine Tasting was very intricate and detailed. Our Host explained it in English and how to observe the pallete of wine tasting. The selection was a reasonable price and red and white wine was great. It was smooth. Sitting outside and people watchingwas great.

Fun and fascinating experience, I found it very enjoyable to learn about wine tasting with my family! The staff were lovely, helpful and encouraging, they made us feel very welcome. 10/10 experience, would recommend! Additionally, the bottles of wine are 100ml so if you have flown to Italy and decide to buy any afterwards you are able to bring it home with you!

This was a wonderful, quaint experience - we got to enjoy fantastic wine and learn more than I ever expected about how to truly appreciate fantastic wine in a truly innovative and well-curated experience. Elena guided us expertly through our wine tasting and her comprehensive knowledge made this a fun yet intellectually stimulating time. Not to mention the view is incredible! 10/10 stars!
