Florence’s iconic Artemio Franchi Stadium has introduced a fresh and sophisticated addition to its amenities — a dedicated wine club. On August 22, 2024, the Vallepicciola Wine Club officially opened its doors, offering an exceptional wine-tasting experience before and after ACF Fiorentina matches. This innovative concept brings a touch of Tuscan elegance to the stadium, allowing fans to enjoy high-quality wines in a luxurious setting.
A New Era of Hospitality
The Vallepicciola Wine Club, spanning 200 square meters and accommodating up to 150 guests, is a space designed to elevate the matchday experience. The wine club offers fans the opportunity to indulge in some of Tuscany’s finest wines, including the Pievasciata Spumante Brut, Pievasciata Chardonnay IGT Toscana, and the classic Chianti Classico, all produced by the renowned Castelnuovo Berardenga winery.
This initiative marks a significant shift in how hospitality is approached at sports venues in Italy. While fine dining and high-end beverage options have long been a staple at stadiums across Europe, this is a relatively new concept in Italy, particularly in a region as deeply rooted in wine culture as Tuscany.
