San Gimignano Wine Tours from Florence
Guided Tour in Guide Tour in English

Tuscany is known for the excellent red wines but few know this small region called San Gimignano where it is also produced an exceptional white wine named Vernaccia. This is a dry wine, not very aromatic but with great structure.


Highlights
  • Full-day tour with English-speaking driver.
  • Discover two quality wineries throughout Chianti Classico and San Gimignano regions.
  • Wine tastings of red and white wines as well.
  • Olive Oil Tasting
  • Enjoy a delicious typical Tuscan meal at a small winery.
  • A quick stop in San Gimignano, a historical medieval hilltop town.

San Gimignano is known for white wines more than red. Since the wine region lies very close to Chianti Classico usually I suggest sharing the wine day tour among both the regions. We could stop in a winery in Chianti Classico to enjoy the reds and then we drive to San Gimignano to enjoy this great white wine. 

What to expect

The stop at the first winery is also the excuse to get to know a little bit more about the winemaking process, you will explore the cellar with one of the staff of the winery who is very knowledgeable and passionate about the wine.

You will taste 3 or 4 wines of the top productions and labels. Usually in Tuscany wineries produce also excellent extra-virgin olive oil, so you will also taste some of the best olive oil in Tuscany.
San Gimignano is about 1 hr drive from Florence so the second winery is a little bit further afield, anyway no worries the region where we will be driving is one of the best and most breathtaking of Tuscany.

The second cellar produces the famous Vernaccia di San Gimignano and you can taste the simple version and the reserve that normally ages in small oak barrels for 4/6 months. After a quick cellar tour, we will sit down to enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch matched with the different wines produced at the winery. Olive oil on the table is made at the winery itself with the olive trees grown on the property.

Stroll in San Gimignano

After the second cellar, we will stop to visit the beautiful San Gimignano a real jewel of the Middle Ages. You will have time to walk through the cobbled streets and stop to photograph the beautiful medieval towers or you can enjoy a homemade ice cream produced by one of the most famous ice-cream shops in Italy.
