FCW 2020

Florence Cocktail Week: when the cocktail becomes a “craze”

A week dedicated to high-quality cocktails made in Florence: meetings, appointments, masterclasses, night shifts and events.

Do you have a favorite cocktail? Well, Florence Cocktail Week might just change your mind!

For seven days, from April 7 to April 13, Florence transforms into the capital of quality cocktails for an event filled with gatherings, master classes, night shifts and a whole range of happenings for both industry professionals and the simplest of sipping enthusiasts.

If prepared correctly, cocktails are considered a real ritual, and this event intends to give this “art form” the respect it deserves. And what better place than Florence, the birthplace of the Negroni cocktail, to host an event of this kind?

Bars taking part in Florence Cocktail Week

A total of 40 bars will participate in Florence Cocktail Week, ranging from historic cafes to luxury hotel bars to trendy hotspots. The 2025 edition of the seven days of widespread events, organized and directed by Paola Mencarelli, aims to highlight Tuscan signature mixology. Great emphasis will therefore be given to the Florentine resident Bartenders with the introduction of the "Barkeeper FCW" initiative and to the Tuscany Cocktail Week Cocktail Bars which will arrive in Florence with their own Pop-Up Bars, but also to the trends of contemporary mixology, with Wellness Signature Cocktail FCW25, a Low ABV or Alcohol Free Drink included in the same Cocktail List as the FCW25 Signatures.
