As Florence comes alive with a summer vibe, Tuscan-American winery Ruffino is launching a responsible drinking campaign in partnership with The Florentine and City of Florence.

 

Don’t miss #WineWednesday, an events showcase in Italian and English celebrating the culture of wine every Wednesday from the end of June in piazzetta dei Tre Re, co-curated by Ruffino’s Francesco Sorelli and The Florentine’s Helen Farrell. Follow the Ruffino Cares bike, listen to special guests, enjoy a wine tasting, and get a free alcohol tester as well as trying out “under the influence” visors.

 

The culture of wine continues this summer at events in and around Florence: Musart in piazza Ss. Annunziata (July 17-23), Firenze Jazz Fringe Festival in the Oltrarno (September 5-9) and Florence Folks Festival at Balera del Varlungo (July 26-29).
