I always leica wine bars!

Palazzo Antinori is a beautiful Renaissance Palace built in 1465 for Giovanni Boni, a rich member of the money changing guild.  It was taken over by the Antinori family in 1506.  Today it holds the Cantinetta Antinori, an upscale wine bar where you can purchase any of the numerous Antinori wines by the glass or bottle.  It is located on Via Tornabuoni, one of the most fashionable streets consisting of designer stores in Florence.  If you love Italian wines and are in Florence consider a visit to Cantinetta Antinori.

If you visit the Uffizi Gallery and Bargello then you can see the Wine God, Bacchus depicted by Caravaggio and Michelangelo.  Just down the street from the Cantinetta is Obica mozzarella bar, which we highly recommend.  Also consider renting electric bikes from e-bikes of Florence (ebikesflorence@gmail.com).  The owner is John Shields.  He rents electric bikes and couldn’t be nicer and more helpful.  He will plot a route to Fiesole and to a small family run winery, one that gets great reviews.  Our suggestion is to have John lead you out of the city center and get you on your way as the city streets are difficult to navigate.  Have everyone in your group download the route onto GPS.
