Florence's Wine Windows — and Where to Find the Ones Still Open
Somewhere between the Uffizi and your third espresso, you might notice something odd set into the wall of an old palazzo. A tiny stone arch, barely bigger than a letterbox, with a small wooden shutter. These are the buchette del vino — Florence's wine windows — and once you know what they are, you'll start seeing them everywhere.
One Sweet Stop in Noto: Caffé Sicilia

Hi there,
I’m Jessica. I shoot film and digital, write about destinations around the world and the experiences lived in them. I’ve been living between places long enough that it feels like the only way.
If something here made you feel like going somewhere — that’s the whole point.
Got a place you think I should visit or a story you’d like to read next? I’d love to hear it.
Come say hello
