Florence may be surrounded by the vineyards of Tuscany, but visitors looking beyond Chianti Classico and Brunello can also find an increasingly interesting selection of French wines in the city.<\/p>\n
For anyone wondering where to buy Champagne in Florence<\/strong>, one address worth knowing is VINO AL VINO<\/strong>, an independent wine shop and wine bar located at Borgo Ognissanti 70R, in the historic center of Florence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The location is particularly convenient for visitors: VINO AL VINO is just a short walk from both the Duomo and Santa Maria Novella Train Station<\/strong>, making it easy to reach while exploring central Florence.<\/p>\n Rather than building its Champagne selection exclusively around internationally recognised houses, the shop has developed a particular interest in small artisan producers, independent growers and grower Champagne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The result is a selection ranging from excellent-value discoveries and artisan Cr\u00e9mant to more prestigious premium bottles.<\/p>\n VINO AL VINO’s philosophy has long centred on artisan wines and smaller independent wineries.<\/p>\n That approach extends naturally to Champagne.<\/p>\n The shop searches for small and independent producers<\/strong>, with particular interest in sustainable viticulture, craftsmanship and wines capable of expressing their individual villages, vineyards and terroirs.<\/p>\n For enthusiasts accustomed to seeing the same major Champagne brands around the world, browsing the selection can reveal a very different side of the region.<\/p>\n One of the most interesting aspects of the selection is its range.<\/p>\n Not every Champagne purchase needs to be reserved for a major celebration.<\/p>\n VINO AL VINO searches for grower Champagnes offering excellent quality for their price<\/strong>, allowing customers to discover lesser-known producers without necessarily moving into the highest price categories.<\/p>\n At the other end of the spectrum are premium Champagnes<\/strong> aimed at enthusiasts and customers looking for more ambitious or prestigious bottles.<\/p>\n Staff can guide visitors according to style, producer, budget and occasion.<\/p>\n The selection doesn’t end with Champagne.<\/p>\n VINO AL VINO also dedicates attention to French Cr\u00e9mant from artisan producers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Produced in different French regions, these sparkling wines provide another way to explore traditional-method French bubbles and can offer particularly attractive value for money.<\/p>\n Having Champagne and Cr\u00e9mant in the same shop also gives curious customers an opportunity to explore the differences between regions, grape varieties and producers.<\/p>\n VINO AL VINO operates as both a wine shop and wine bar<\/strong>, meaning visitors aren’t limited to buying bottles to take away.<\/p>\n Selected Champagnes can also be opened and enjoyed on site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This makes the shop an interesting destination for anyone looking for a relaxed Champagne aperitivo in central Florence<\/strong>, rather than the more formal experience associated with a luxury hotel or fine-dining restaurant.<\/p>\n Its location is another advantage: the shop sits in Borgo Ognissanti, within walking distance of Santa Maria Novella Station and Florence Cathedral<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Another distinctive aspect of VINO AL VINO is its food selection.<\/p>\n Alongside Tuscan and Italian specialties, visitors can also find selected French artisan cheeses and delicatessen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This makes it possible to purchase a bottle of Champagne together with food to take home or enjoy wine and cheese directly at the wine bar.<\/p>\n Different styles of Champagne can work with very different cheeses, and the staff can suggest pairings according to the bottle chosen.<\/p>\n For wine enthusiasts wanting more than a single bottle, VINO AL VINO can also organise Champagne-focused tastings and aperitivo experiences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n These provide an opportunity to compare producers and styles while learning more about the wines.<\/p>\n A tasting can also be accompanied by artisan cheeses and delicatessen, turning it into a complete wine-and-food experience.<\/p>\n For dedicated Champagne tastings, contacting the shop in advance is advisable.<\/p>\n International travellers face an obvious problem after finding wines they love: getting the bottles home.<\/p>\n VINO AL VINO offers international wine shipping from Florence<\/strong>, allowing visitors to purchase their favourite bottles and arrange delivery rather than carrying them throughout the rest of their trip.<\/p>\n This is particularly convenient for customers purchasing several bottles or premium wines.<\/p>\n For anyone whose idea of Champagne extends beyond the largest international brands, VINO AL VINO is an interesting address to know.<\/p>\n Its appeal lies in the combination of small artisan growers, premium producers, good-value discoveries and French Cr\u00e9mant<\/strong>, complemented by specialist wine advice.<\/p>\n The ability to buy, drink, taste and ship Champagne<\/strong>, together with a selection of French artisan cheeses and delicatessen, makes the shop particularly versatile.<\/p>\n And because it is located directly in the historic center of Florence, close to both the Duomo and Santa Maria Novella Train Station<\/strong>, it’s easy to include in a day exploring the city.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udccd Borgo Ognissanti 70R, 50123 Florence,
