Overview

This is a wonderful opportunity for those who want to experience one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany followed by a full Tuscan lunch and wine experience. 

In the morning, we will depart for the north west of Siena, where among the hills of the Val d'Elsa, stands the medieval town of San Gimignano.  Defined as the town "with a hundred towers", owing to the presence of these impressive buildings symbolizing power and wealth.  Until the thirteenth century the town counted seventy-two towers.  Only fourteen of them are still standing today, though San Gimignano is often referred to the 'Manhattan of Tuscany'.  

Following our arrival here, you will meet your guide who will introduce you to the incredible history of San Gimignano and the surrounding area.  Among other things, you will learn about the incredible Via Francigena and the importance of its rise across Europe which was walked by thousands of pilgrims in the Middle Ages on their way to Rome. It was an invaluable trading route where the town of San Gimignano held an important position both in the productions of wine and local gastronomy, which is still holds an important place in Italian and Tuscan cuisine today.  

Fine local wines and high quality foods create a potpourri of fragrances and tastes, that our expert guides will give you the opportunity to enjoy following our walking tour, where you will have the opportunity to enjoy the particular beauty of Santa Fina pottery, fine leather production and an assortment of hand crafts. 

You will also have the opportunity to discover the history of the only Tuscan white wine recognized as D.O.C.G., the famous Vernaccia, that you will taste in one of the most renowned of the San Gimignano area, with a big selection of other typical wines and products.

Lunch will consist of fine Tuscan salami and roasted vegetables, pasta and lots of different Tuscan cuisine which will be accompanied by very fine wines. 

Following lunch, enjoy the gardens around the winery, the vineyards and the fine company of our friends Pierluigi and his family who have been expert wine makers in this area for over a century!
