Tenuta di Mensanello Farm Experience: Wine & Oil Tasting

Taste wines and oils straight from the farm, guided by a passionate sommelier

A farm tour and tasting at Tenuta di Mensanello in San Gimignano, where you walk through the wine cellar and olive mill to see production methods firsthand, then taste three wines and three oils guided by a sommelier. The 90-minute activity runs with a live English-speaking guide and includes snacks. You can book as a group or arrange a private tour.

The experience

Tenuta di Mensanello is a working farm run by a young team that produces wines, beers and extra virgin olive oil using methods they'll show you directly. The tour takes you into the wine cellar and the olive mill (the actual places where production happens), so you see the setup and the workflow rather than a presentation about it. A sommelier and oil expert guide the walk and lead the tastings at the end.

You taste three wines and three oils, each one explained by someone who works with them daily. Snacks come with the tasting. The whole activity runs about 90 minutes, which keeps it short enough to fit into an afternoon without eating up the rest of your day in San Gimignano.
