This private winery tour, lunch, and guided tasting sits just outside San Gimignano in the rolling vineyards of Toscana, Italy. Located at Via Crocetta, 16, 53037 San Gimignano SI, Italy, the two-hour experience (starting at €169) pairs a focused vineyard walk and exclusive cellar visit with a four-course Tuscan meal and a guided wine school tasting tailored to your group.
From the moment your dedicated guide greets your party in San Gimignano, the itinerary reads like a concentrated education in regional flavors. The vineyard walk explains grape varieties and terroir; morning sessions between 9am and 11am include private access to the barrel room where barriques and aging casks set out the contours of older vintages. Back at the table, ten wines are sampled with instruction: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Chianti DOCG, Chianti Classico DOCG, Morellino di Scansano DOCG, three Super Tuscan blends (Baldassarre, Cavaliere, Bartolomeo), Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, and a rosé, guided through structure, pairing, and regional context.
Food anchors the tasting. Appetizers of Tuscan cheeses, salami, and bruschetta lead to a choice of truffle lasagna or ribollita, then a roasted meat main with potatoes and seasonal vegetables, and finally cantuccini with a sweet dessert wine. Olive oil tasting features extra virgin, truffle-flavored, and spicy pepper varieties, and a Balsamic Vinegar Gold Reserve adds a concentrated finish. The meal is paced for conversation and learning; everything is reserved for your private group so the guide can tailor depth and tempo.
Why book this when visiting San Gimignano? The town itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its towers marking a medieval skyline. This estate experience translates that local history into tasting notes: Vernaccia reflects the white-wine heritage of the area, while Super Tuscans point to modern experimentation. The private format is ideal for celebrations, small corporate gatherings, or travelers who prefer an intimate, expert-led session rather than a public tour.
Practical notes: duration is about two hours, wheelchair and stroller accessible, year-round availability. Morning slots unlock the cellar; bring comfortable shoes for uneven vineyard paths. Meeting point: San Gimignano. Operator information: not provided.
Expect an intimate group size—this private option is for parties of 2 to 20—so the tasting moves at your group's pace. Booking confirmation may offer an optional shuttle; transportation to San Gimignano is not included in the base price. The tasting content suits beginners and experienced oenophiles alike: the guide adjusts detail level and can focus on production methods, oak influence, or food pairing technique. Because the walk crosses cultivated rows and stone paths, a light jacket for coastal breezes and a camera are smart. The estate operates year‑round, which means winter pruning, spring budbreak, summer canopy, and autumn harvest all color the visit differently.
Transportation to San Gimignano is not included in the base price; an optional shuttle may be available upon booking confirmation.
