Vernaccia di San Gimignano
On Friday from February to November!Check availability !
I have designed this tour for people who are interested in discovering the red of Tuscany along with the famous white Vernaccia di San Gimignano. You will be guided in a full day excursion to visit a small winery in Chianti area. Here you will have a great chance to talk with the owner who will explain all the secrets of this wine. According to the number of participants we can also stop in the winery for a light lunch. In the afternon I will drive to the second winery which is located right off San Giminiano. This area is known for the Vernaccia di San Gimignano which is a white wine made from grapes grown around on the hill side of this famous town.

My wife and I took the San Gigmignano tour as part of our honeymoon in Italy. Our guide, Vittorio, really knew his stuff! Early in the tour he asked us a few questions about our knowledge and experience with wines so that he could tailor his tour to our level of knowledge. My wife and I know how to uncork the bottle and drink it, but that's about all. It turns out that Vittorio knew just how to present things for us and really teach us the baby steps of wine tasting. He took great care to explain how to look, smell and finally taste the wine. His knowledge of the processes by which the wines are made as well as what affects the ultimate flavor in one's mouth was very impressive. We toured two wineries, one small "mom & pop" kind of place and another, much larger and more sophisticated. The contrast between the two very interesting but you could tell that both companies took great care and pride in their product. In short, my wife and I LOVED our wine tour. It was the perfect experience! Thank you, Italy and Wine!John Burns, NY USA
