San Gimignano wine and olive oil tasting with Tuscan meal

Biodynamic wines, cold-pressed oils, and a Tuscan meal in ninety minutes

A private wine and olive oil tasting in one of San Gimignano's oldest Vernaccia vineyards, paired with a farm-to-table Tuscan lunch or dinner. You begin with an introduction to biodynamic farming methods, then move to a private table overlooking the rolling hills and the town's iconic towers for guided tastings of organic wines, extra virgin olive oils, and balsamic vinegar, alongside antipasti, pasta, soup or salad, and dessert. The guide speaks English or Italian. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

The experience centers on a private vineyard table with views across the Tuscan landscape toward San Gimignano's towers. You start with an introduction to the biodynamic practices that shape the wines and oils you'll taste: the sustainable methods that define the vineyard's approach. Then you settle at your table and move through a guided tasting of organic wines, extra virgin olive oils, and balsamic vinegar, each one paired with courses built from seasonal ingredients: typical Tuscan antipasti with mixed bruschetta, local charcuterie and cheeses, pasta of the day, soup or salad of the day, and dessert.

The setting is designed for relaxation: cozy yet elegant, built around the rhythm of tasting and eating without rush. Bottled water is included throughout, and you choose whether the meal is lunch or dinner at checkout. A live guide in English or Italian walks you through the tasting and the story of the vineyard, so the flavors connect to the land and the work behind them.
