The experience

San Giorgio a Lapi sits just minutes from Siena in a location that straddles two wine regions: Chianti Classico on one side and Chianti Colli Senesi on the other. The tour opens with a walk through the vineyards where the family who runs the winery explains the soil, the landscape, and the daily work that goes into growing grapes for their wines. You move through the winemaking and aging cellars to see how those grapes become wine, learning the production techniques and the philosophy behind the work.

The Church of San Giorgio a Lapi, dating to the 11th century, sits among the vineyards and olive groves. It holds frescoes from the Nasini school and tells the story of the territory where spirituality, tradition, and landscape have shaped the region for centuries. After the church, you descend into the cellars to understand every stage of wine production, from harvest through aging.

The experience ends on the panoramic terrace under an ancient white mulberry tree, overlooking the rolling hills of Chianti and the Crete Senesi. A guide leads you through a tasting of four wines from the winery's production, paired with a traditional Tuscan lunch: an appetizer, first course, main course with side dish, and dessert, all made with local ingredients. Water and the wines are included. The terrace is sheltered, and in heavy rain or heat the tasting and lunch move to a climate-controlled room inside.

What’s included

• Bottled water.
• four wines from the winery's production and extra virgin olive oil.
