Wine Road

A 2 day Wine tasting event brought small and large wine producers to Via de’ Neri.   Along the street, the producers were set up on wine barrels to give tastings to the public.  Along with wine, most producers offered small snacks such as pizza or bread with olive oil.

Here is how it worked: After purchasing a wine card for 10 euros, you received a wine glass and a ticket which entitled you to 5 wine tastings of your choice.   A 5 euro deposit was also required to insure the return of the glass.

The crowd was manageable and friendly. Street performers played music and wine tastings were given from 3 pm to 10 pm.
