Some events feel like a warm-up. This one felt like a preview.
Flash Vino brought together four wines, one very talked-about focaccia, and a room full of people who came for the tasting but stayed for each other. The final act in the Flash Festival Tuscany series, before the main event lands in May.
1. The wines
Proper pours, not tiny sips.
Four wines, moving from white to orange to pink to red, curated by Plots & Parcels at Modal Wines. Each one doing enough to justify the next, which is exactly how a tasting should work.
2. The food
Dal Fiorentino’s focaccia.
No overcomplication, no need to oversell it. If you know, you know. If you don’t, this was the one people kept going back for.
3. The crowd
A room that didn’t stay polite for long.
People arrived for the wine, then settled in properly. Conversations carried on, glasses kept being refilled, and suddenly no one was checking the time. No stiffness, just the right kind of energy.
4. The location
Shoreditch Arts Club, for one night only.
A quiet takeover of one of East London’s better-kept secrets. Tuscan hospitality, Tea Building setting. The kind of place that makes everything feel a bit more considered without trying too hard.
Flash Vino was the final warm-up. Next comes the real thing.
Flash Festival Tuscany 2026 lands in May. Four days in the Tuscan hills, with wine tastings hosted by the families who’ve been making it for centuries, pasta made by nonnas who will probably adopt you, and poolside sets that drift into golden hour and beyond.
You’ve seen how it starts. This is where it leads.
Turn everyday spending into points, and those points into something you’ll actually remember.
Tickets are available on Yonder.
18+ and UK only. T&Cs apply.
