Oltrarno tasting walk, Thursday 09:30
Florence. Three and a half hours, six stops, one coeliac guest handled at every one of them.
Four places on Thursday's walk. Your daughter's coeliac requirement was sent to all six stops on Monday and five have confirmed; clause 03 says what happens at the sixth. The rest is a meeting point and a pair of comfortable shoes.
Four places, Thursday 15 October, meeting 09:30 at Piazza Santo Spirito, finishing about 13:00. Six stops across the Oltrarno with Chiara Benedetti guiding. Five of the six have confirmed a gluten free equivalent; the bakery cannot, and the alternative is set out in clause 03.

Meeting
Where to be, and when
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Meeting point | Piazza Santo Spirito, at the church steps. Chiara has a green TasteLocal folder |
| Time | 09:30. The group leaves at 09:40 |
| If you are late | Call the number on your booking. Chiara will tell you where stop 2 is |
| Group size | Your four plus six others, ten maximum |
| Ends | About 13:00, at the gelateria near Ponte alla Carraia |
| Weather | The walk runs in rain. Only lightning cancels it |
| Accessibility | Cobbles and two small steps at stop 3. Tell us if that matters |
| Children | Welcome. Your 14 year old gets soft drinks at the wine stops |
The bakery
The one stop that cannot accommodate
Stop 2 is a working forno with one oven and flour in the air. They were asked and their answer was honest.
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Chosen: the group goes in, your daughter waits outside with Chiara | Six minutes. Chiara stays with her and has a GF alternative from stop 1 |
| Skip the stop entirely | Possible. It is the stop most guests remember, so we do not suggest it |
| Bring her own | Also fine. Some guests prefer it |
The forno said they could not guarantee no contamination in a room where schiacciata dough is worked, and they were right to say so rather than offer something and hope. A producer who declines honestly is one we keep.
Changes
When a producer cannot open
| Situation | What happens | Money |
|---|---|---|
| A stop closes at short notice | Chiara substitutes an equivalent. It happens perhaps once a month | No change |
| Two or more stops unavailable | We offer another date or a refund before you travel | Your choice |
| Lightning or a city closure | Cancelled, told by 07:30 | Full refund or another date |
| You cancel more than 48 hours before | n/a | Full refund |
| You cancel inside 48 hours | n/a | None. The producers are already paid |
| You do not arrive | The group leaves at 09:40 | None |
The 48 hour rule exists because every stop is a small independent business that has ordered for your group. The money has already left before you cancel.
