🤙 In this week’s video, you can join me on a walk around Florence and it is all about the Wine Windows or Wine Doors that you may have heard about since quite a few have been repurposed and opened in the past few years, creating a social media phenomenon.
🍷 Wine windows in Italian are called Buchette del Vino (small wine openings or holes), and in reality, they have been around for many hundreds of years. In this video, we will learn so much more with the expert and president of the Wine Window Association, Matteo Faglia, who reveals all sorts of interesting anecdotes about the very special wine windows. https://buchettedelvino.org/
📷 My video also features the beautiful pictures taken by Robbin Gheesling for her book “Wine Doors of Florence” – please check out her website and get in touch to get your copy: https://www.robbingheesling.com/shop
ERROR in video: at the beginning I say the statue is of Garibaldi, but it’s of Vittorio Emanuele II.

What a great tour!❤
this guy clearly does not live in central Florence – otherwise he wouldn't be so enthusiasic about drunk tourists…
Love the video, Rebecca! I have always wondered about the wine window at Campo Sasso. Why do you have to climb a ladder inside to get to it?
I absolutely love the idea about a wine window. I own a small winery, a small tasting room actually the air condition unit that was built in the wall broke. I have to take it out and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do is replace it with the Wine window even though I’m here in Texas. I have a little Italy with me. Thank you so much for the idea.
LOL, the entire world commented on how clever and intelligent the Italians were to come up with a take out window during the pandemic😂 never mind the billions of take out windows throughout the world. Oh the ego!😂
Thank you for such an informative episode with Matteo Faglia, I learned so much! Also looking forward to reading Robbin Gheesling's book.
Interesting. What a lovely way to see Firenze.
