We are leaving on our first Europe trip in a few weeks. We only have 1.5 days in Florence :( and I guess I am a bit late on my planning. We would really like to do a wine tour to Tuscany and see the Accademia. Looks like only afternoon tickets are available on our dates at the Accademia, plus it's closed on the date we come in. Would we be crazy to book an afternoon wine tour (depart 2:30pm) if our flight from Paris (on Vueling) lands at 10:55am. We have an Airbnb near the Duomo and the host said we could store our luggage before check in. I wonder if this will give us enough time to get to the tour or if were just packing in too much. Thoughts?

Assume you're doing carryon if using Vueling, so unless you have something to declare, you just walk out of the airport and on to Florence.
Options here.

You should have plenty of time unless your flight is late.

hey hey krob
we all have craziness in our mind and bones! with it being your first trip to europe, i'd say "go for it!"
don't know exactly what you're dates are, budget in euros. find a tour (half day) in the early afternoon, may take some doing since most start mornings, plus check if some have a stop date end of september or october, even if harvest time
withlocals.com has a couple, one in vintage fiat 500, chianti day trip: wine tasting and scenic roads,
come&seeitaly.com click from florence and the times
getyourguide.com half day chianti afternoon tour, chianti wine tasting a few to check out.
after your wine tour have a nice dinner and sleep peacefully. you'll thank your stars you went and had a great time, no coulda shoulda woulda. you're in the neighborhood. have fun and enjoy
