For wine lovers searching for an authentic wine bar in Florence, Vino al Vino is a must-visit destination in the city center: a contemporary wine bar, specialist wine shop and gourmet food store entirely dedicated to outstanding artisanal wine and food.
Located in Borgo Ognissanti, in Florence city center, Vino al Vino combines the depth of a specialist cellar with a young, fresh and informal atmosphere.
This is much more than somewhere to stop for a glass. It is a place to discover small independent wineries, premium wines by the glass, great Italian and French appellations, guided wine tastings and exceptional artisan food.
The philosophy is simple: serious wine without unnecessary formality.
The cellar focuses on small artisanal producers, sustainable viticulture, low-intervention winemaking, distinctive terroirs and wines with a strong sense of place.
Tuscany naturally plays a leading role, with Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and wines from small Tuscan estates.
The selection then travels throughout Italy and Europe: Barolo, Amarone, grower Champagne, Burgundy, Rhône, Jura and Savoie, German Rieslings and many lesser-known indigenous Italian grape varieties.
Prestigious denominations therefore sit alongside tiny artisanal wineries that even experienced wine lovers may never have encountered before.
One of the defining features of Vino al Vino is its constantly changing selection of wines by the glass.
Interesting bottles are not necessarily reserved for full-bottle purchases. Depending on availability and the bottles being opened, guests can discover Brunello, Barolo, Amarone, Chianti Classico, Champagne and premium French wines by the glass.
This makes Vino al Vino particularly interesting for anyone who wants to compare several important wines and terroirs during a single visit.
Every glass can also become an opportunity to learn. The team introduces the winery, grape variety, territory and winemaking approach behind the wine while keeping the experience relaxed and accessible.
Vino al Vino demonstrates that a serious wine destination does not have to be formal.
The atmosphere is young, informal and convivial, while the selection remains uncompromisingly focused on quality.
Come for one glass, compare different Tuscan terroirs, share Champagne and cheese with friends or turn the visit into a complete tasting.
Wine enthusiasts can discuss producers and terroirs in depth, while newcomers can simply describe what they enjoy and let the team guide them.
Vino al Vino is also a destination for wine tasting in Florence.
The guided five-wine tasting introduces different producers, territories and styles, with particular attention to Tuscany and artisan Italian wines.
Tastings can be accompanied by carefully selected artisan cheese and charcuterie, creating a complete introduction to Italian wine and food.
Food receives the same attention as wine.
The cheese selection includes raw-milk and mountain cheeses, different styles of Pecorino di Pienza, aged Parmigiano Reggiano and selected Italian and French specialties.
Charcuterie focuses on quality artisanal products, including cured meats sourced from producers working with animals raised in extensive or semi-free-range systems.
These are not generic aperitivo boards: cheeses and cured meats are selected with wine pairing firmly in mind.
Vino al Vino is simultaneously a wine bar, wine shop and gourmet food store in Florence.
Alongside the extensive cellar, visitors can discover a carefully curated selection of premium Tuscan and Italian foods: extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, artisanal Tuscan pasta, Pecorino, Parmigiano Reggiano, sun-dried tomatoes, mostarde, saffron and dried Tuscan mushrooms.
There is also a selection of Tuscan artisan gin, vermouth and grappa, alongside limoncello, craft beer and kombucha.
Many cheeses are vacuum-packed for takeaway, making Vino al Vino an interesting destination for travellers looking for authentic food souvenirs from Florence.
Vino al Vino is designed around discovery.
Taste a wine by the glass, learn about the producer, pair it with artisan cheese and, if you love it, buy the bottle.
International wine shipping is also available, allowing travellers to create a selection and have their wines shipped home.
Vino al Vino has received attention from international wine publications, specialist platforms and travel media, including Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Decanter and Star Wine List, together with Raisin, The Florentine, Eating Europe and Firenze Made in Tuscany.
Its identity remains independent: small producers, personal recommendations, carefully researched wines and an informal atmosphere.
Florence has many places where you can order wine. Vino al Vino is a place to discover it.
Start with Chianti Classico, continue with Brunello or Barolo, move to grower Champagne or Burgundy and discover a small producer from Jura, Savoie or another lesser-known European territory.
Or simply ask the team: What should I taste today?
For travellers looking for a wine bar in Florence city center, Vino al Vino brings together premium wines by the glass, small artisanal producers, guided tastings, an extensive cellar, exceptional cheese and charcuterie, Tuscan gourmet products and a fresh, youthful atmosphere.
