The winery's own wines are poured alongside dishes made from ingredients grown on the farm.

A wine tasting and traditional Tuscan dinner tour from San Gimignano takes you by minibus to a Chianti winery in the rolling hills, where a guide leads you through the historic cellars before you taste the estate's wines and eat a four-course seasonal menu in the rustic dining room. The experience runs four hours and includes transport, the cellar tour, wine tasting, and dinner; a live guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian. Infants can ride in a pram or specialized seat, and the terrain is uneven, so walking difficulties or wheelchair use would make the sites hard to navigate.

The Experience

How do you know what a Chianti tastes like when it's poured where it's made? The minibus picks you up in San Gimignano and drives into the countryside, where the winery sits among the hills that produce the wine. A welcome drink arrives first, then a guide takes you into the cellars to walk through the traditions and techniques of Tuscan winemaking—the place where the grapes become what you're about to taste.

The tasting itself is not a rush through a lineup. You work through carefully selected local wines, taking time to notice the aromas and the character that comes from this particular region. Then you move into the dining room, where the menu is built from what grows on the farm and what the season offers. Pappa al pomodoro or ribollita might start the meal, followed by grilled meats and vegetables, each course designed to sit alongside the estate's wines rather than against them. Everything is seasonal and made from ingredients sourced from the property.

The whole evening holds together in four hours, transport included. You don't arrange a car or navigate to the winery yourself—the minibus handles that, and a guide who speaks your language walks you through both the cellar and the meal. The rustic atmosphere is built into the space; the pairing between the food and the wine is built into the menu.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to taste and dine at the winery in one evening rather than commit a full day, and prefer a guided drive from San Gimignano over finding your own way.
