Best Fuoriditaste FREE events during Taste 2012

Taste is maybe Florence’s coolest food and wine event. From March 10th to March 12th, the Stazione Leopolda is hosting this tasty and colorful kermesse, that you can enjoy by simply buying a ticket

But Taste is also… Fuoriditaste! Loads of events inside Florence’s best locations, shops and restaurants from March 8th to March 12th.

What you probably don’t know is that some of the Fuoriditaste events are totally FREE, and I prepared a selection of these ones
