The focal point will be Piazza Pitti hosting the other 8 wine capitals, their traditions and wines. In Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza Santissima Annunziata there will be wine markets open from 11 to 23. In Santissima Annunziata there will be also children’s activities, such as Vinopoli a nice game dedicated to wine.

During the 4 days there will also be music concerts and shows, workshops and conferences, as well as special exhibits and thematic dinners. You can find Wine Town Firenze program on their webiste. Wine tastings will be every day from 11 to 23 and you need to buy the Wine Card for 10,00 euro. When you purchase the card it has 5 points and you can buy the classic goblet for tastings for 1 point.
